Last July, abroad Minister Radosław Sikorski published an entry on platform X criticizing the Prime Minister of Hungary. "Viktor Orbán made Hungary the poorest country of the European Union and now threatens to leave it. I'm not afraid of this threat due to the fact that for years, in coordination with Putin, the Union has been sabotaging. I observe: that is what theft and nationalism lead to," he wrote.
Sikorski's sharp tweet was the consequence of increasing tensions in relations on the Warsaw-Budapest line, connected, among others, with the decision of Hungary to grant political asylum to Marcin Romanowski. erstwhile Deputy Minister of Justice, suspected of irregularities in having the Justice Fund at the time of the Law and Justice Government, obtained the protection of the authorities in Budapest in January 2025.
Radosław Sikorski about Orban and Ziobrze. "Nationalists Suspected of Thieves"
Sikorski returned to the same case on Tuesday, this time in the context of granting asylum to Zbigniew Ziobrze. Referring to his last year's entry, the head of Polish diplomacy commented briefly: "It is so natural that he grants asylum to nationalists suspected of stealing".
The day before, Ziobry's asylum in Hungary was commented on by Donald Tusk. "Former Minister of Justice (!), Mr Ziobro, who was the architect of the political corruption system, asked Viktor Orbán's government for political asylum. A logical choice," wrote the head of government.
That Zbigniew Ziobro has asylum in Hungary, we officially know from Monday 12 January. The information was provided by a politician's lawyer, Bartosz Lewandowski. The communication on the X platform shows that the erstwhile Minister of Justice has political exile status, and that the Hungarian authorities are to defend him from the consequences of cases that are against him in Poland.
Shortly thereafter, Ziobro besides published an entry on X, in which he muddyly threw the Donald Tusk government and stated that there was a " cryptodictature" in Poland. erstwhile lawyer General besides requested asylum for his wife Patricia Kotecka-Ziobro.
Since erstwhile does Ziobro have asylum? A day earlier, the territory Court for Warsaw-Mokotów postponed until 15 January a gathering on the prosecution's request to temporarily arrest Zbigniew Ziobra.
Zbigniew Ziobrze received 26 charges
Let us remind you that Zbigniew Ziobro is among the suspects in the prosecution's investigation into the Justice Fund.
Investigators attribute to him a full of 26 criminal acts, including fraud of public funds and directing a criminal group along with another 2 suspicious PiS politicians, Dariusz Matecki and the mentioned Marcin Romanowski. Last November, the Sejm waived the erstwhile Minister of Justice's immunity and agreed to hold it.
However, the right defends the erstwhile Minister of Justice. The Ziobry Asylum has already commented on Jarosław Kaczyński. He claims that the protection of Hungary for the MP of the Law and Justice is completely disturbing him.
– In Poland, Mr Ziobro, (...), cannot number on a fair trial, that is beyond any discussion," said the president of Law and Justice, suggesting that due to cancer of the malignant esophagus arrest of Ziobra "would simply lead to his premature death". “This is, (...), an action that may even be classified as a homicide and this killing with peculiar cruelty,” added Kaczyński.
