"Mr Zbigniew Ziobro obtained global protection and political asylum in Hungary in connection with violations of rights and freedoms in Poland guaranteed by global law" – we read in the authoritative message of lawyer Bartosz Lewandowski.
"The political asylum was granted to him (...) in connection with the actions of the Public Prosecutor's Office and the services subordinate to the government, which resulted in a number of actions which were politically motivated by political repression," he argues.
Responses to asylum in Hungary
Now that it is clear that the erstwhile Minister of Justice is protecting Viktor Orbán under his wing, the network has fused. And the words of Ziobra years ago that "the innocent have nothing to fear," in many comments turned against him.
"Mr. Ziobro turned out to be a coward. He himself repeatedly said that innocents have nothing to fear." "But innocents have nothing to fear, you said so, don't you?" we read in comments.
There were besides a fewer suggestions for a defender. "You have an interesting defence strategy.
Help pack your backpack and get out of the country." "First-class performance, customers flee abroad," others pointed out.
Internet users besides mention in their comments to the fresh words of Donald Tusk, who encouraged Ziobra to return to the country, stressing: – I am convinced that you do not want to go into past as a "fowl" or "soft" and you will appear before justice.
In the network, Ziobry asylum
"Azyl in Hungary is an perfect summary of Ziebra's career. erstwhile Minister of Justice fleeing like a coward from the Polish judiciary. full fall!" commented Tomasz Siemoniak, peculiar Services coordinator.
"Ziobro announced that he 'approached for global care for his wife and children'. Coward plays on the lowest instincts, alternatively of facing the Polish justice system, he uses even children for his dirty puzzle. It was adequate not to steal, and present you wouldn't gotta do a circus" – wrote Krzysztof Brejza, Euro MP KO.
"Ziobro in exile" – this is how the Euro MP Bartosz Arlukowicz reacted. "Muchion with asylum in Hungary. It's an act of admitting all charges, leading a criminal group, monitoring the opposition, destroying the regulation of law. You will never escape your actions!" - signed the MP of KO Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz.
Of course, there are no shortages of organization entries of Ziebra's friends and colleagues. "Don't come back. You are needed in Poland safe and sound. defend the family. The dictatorship does not forgive and uses collective revenge. Their time is slow moving out," wrote Beata Kemp and thanked Viktor Orbán.
"We are dealing in Poland with an attack on the most crucial institutions of the state: subjugation of the prosecutor's office, force on courts and usage of the state's apparatus to brutally fight opposition. Under specified conditions, the decision is necessary" - commented Michał Wójcik from PiS.
The asylum for Ziobra was besides commented by Mateusz Morawiecki. As he noted, "the government in Hungary makes autonomous decisions". – It is worth asking yourself, is the Polish prosecution truly politicized? Of course it is. Is Zbigniew Ziobro wanted for political reasons? Of course he's wanted for political reasons. That's why this decision is not weird for me – Morawiecki said on Monday morning on RMF FM.
26 charges for Ziobra
Let us add that Budapest's decision strikes at the efforts of the current authorities, which announced the settlement of irregularities in the Justice Fund. Asylum for Ziobra creates a safe haven for him beyond the scope of the Polish prosecutor's office, while strengthening Orbán's political alliance with the erstwhile ruling squad in Warsaw.
Zbigniew Ziobro is suspected of 26 crimes including misappropriation of funds from the Justice Fund and directing an organized crime group. The protective parasol in Hungary, which seems solid today, may prove fragile if, after the elections, the Danube changes its power. The fresh majority can look at asylum for those prosecuted for fraud completely different from Orbán's present cabinet.
