12 April – this may be an crucial date for Zbigniew Ziobra and Marcin Romanowski. That day, the Hungarians will go to the urns. And if they choose as the polls show, politicians of the Sovereign Poland should begin to plan what to do next.
Refer to asylum in Hungary. What if the election wins the Hungarian opposition?
Can he flee to Belarus like justice Thomas Szmydt and ask for asylum there? You can laugh, present it sounds ridiculous, but who erstwhile thought that a justice from Poland could desert there?
Szmydt went to the reformed KRS in 2018 erstwhile Ziobro was at the head of the Ministry of Justice. Although the erstwhile minister then swore that he had no contact with him and had never met him, he besides assured himself that he had not applied for political asylum in Hungary. And then abruptly he got it. Yes, the decision was made in December, but he was expected to keep everything quiet.
How do you believe him?
We besides remember how Ziobro ignored the EU. – I am a Polish patriot, not a Union patriot – those are his words. Then he flees to another EU country, in addition to Putin's ally, complains about Poland and scorns its image.
Or could Moscow become his mark after April 12? Robert Biedron has already developed a bold vision. – It will end that Ziobro will be in Red Square praising Putin and taking pictures with him. Like his fellow justice who fled to Belarus, or like Salvini's friend who already took pictures in a T-shirt with Putin. specified are they: they are closer to Moscow than to Warsaw – he said in the "Biedrzycka Express.
If Ziobro stays in Hungary, we'll know after 12 April. If he continues to defend himself in Budapest by then, much may depend on that day.
TISZA organization on shelter and "azil to abroad criminals"
On 12 April, the most crucial elections have been held in Hungary for years. The date was officially confirmed by the president of Hungary.
"In accordance with the provisions of the Basic Act and the Election Order Act, I set the date of the general election on Sunday, April 12, 2026," Tamas Sulyok said on Facebook.
For the opposition, it is the top hope so far of changing power. Viktor Orbán has ruled continuously since 2010 and is the longest-serving Prime Minister in Hungary's history.
But in 2024, his most dangerous rival – Peter Magyar and his centre-right TISZA organization (Party of respect and Freedom), which has been moving in polls for months.
This does not prejudge anything yet, it's a purely hypothetical scenario, but if Magyar wins, Polish refugees may have a problem. On the news of granting asylum to Ziebra, his press office has already responded with a crucial message:
"Under Hush, Hungary will not supply shelter, let alone asylum, abroad criminals".
And in August 2025, in an interview with "Gazeta Wyborcza", Magyar advised Romanowski:
"If I were to give him any advice, it would be that the closer he gets to the elections in Hungary, the more he should increase his efforts to find a fresh country where he hides. We are bound by global treaties that are very clear."
Clearer signals are not needed.
"It is crazy that 1 EU associate State gives asylum to a citizen of another EU country who is wanted in connection with criminal charges. This is not the goal of granting asylum," said Magyar "GW". He besides noted that "the granting of this asylum was decided by Prime Minister Orbán, and this should not be the case in democracy."
– Our Prime Minister will not decide this, due to the fact that for this there are state institutions and courts," he added.
Can the United States grant asylum to Ziobrze and Romanowski?
Romanowski, erstwhile Deputy Minister of Justice and PiS MP, has been in Hungary since December 2024. On 19 December, he obtained political asylum there. Ziobro has been in Budapest since November 2025.
Three months to the elections in Hungary. If Orbán wins, nothing will change. But what if he loses? Not from now on, everyone would like to know what happens to them. Here's another rumor.
"Will the United States grant asylum to Members Zbigniew Ziobrze and Marcin Romanowski?" asked the question in November "Radio Maryja". 'It is surely possible', said the politicians of Law and Justice.
It was stated that "unofficially talks are underway with people close to the U.S. administration to be granted protection in the US by Donald Trump". And that "Marcin Romanowski did not deny that specified talks continue".
“There is always a plan B. (...) I think it is understandable that I cannot talk on specified matters. I think that – as the classical said – time will show – the Catholic portal quotes it.
What does Zbigniew Ziobro think? erstwhile Poland learned about granting him asylum, he was asked about it on RMF FM Radio.
Tomasz Terlikowski asked him where he would go if Péter Magyar gained power in Hungary. Ziobro responded that he would fight under any conditions as long as he could.
– I beat a cancer that was fatal. 90 percent of people die of this kind of cancer, almost 90 percent. With a more dangerous opponent I won – he said.
