On Tuesday evening, the police entered the presidential palace, where the former head of internal affairs and administration and former head of the CBA, Mariusz Kaminski, and his former deputy, Maciej Vesic, were present.

Zdrojewski: Kaminski and Vesik were legally convicted

Without a doubt, there is no lawyer who claims that this judgment of the district court is wrong or ineffective, or that the previous acquittal, the act of mercy was actually, not acquittal, no, it was not – said Bogdan Zdrojewski in a conversation with Jacek Prusinowski.
Currently, there is a heated debate between PiS and PO circles as to whether the presidential pardon of Kaminski and Vesic in 2015 was legally effective or not.

Later in the conversation, the journalist asked the politician to comment on the decision announced on Wednesday by the National Council of the Judiciary on the entry of new members of the TVP Supervisory Board appointed by Minister Sienkevic. The application was rejected.
– You must remember what justification is. The justification is that it is written that the PiS state has made a lot of mistakes regarding the competences in the field of public media, and this result is now coming to the current government, and it must be sorted out,” said Zdrojewski.
– There are some sentences in there that show what a mess we're working in, no doubt about it.

Moreover, the first liquidators, for example, in Katowice, were registered, that is, records were made – he continued.
