According to Zbigniew Ziobro, the current situation in Poland is an example of politicians taking over the justice system, and Donald Tusk is instrumentalizing the law to pursue his own interests. The former minister emphasized that he was not abroad because of cancer treatment, but because, in his opinion, there was an abuse of power in the country. Ziobro stated that Poland was heading towards authoritarianism.
Ziobro announced that he will announce decisions regarding his further stay in Hungary at the appropriate time. In an interview with Republika TV, he expressed the opinion that arresting him while he was away from Poland would be an unprecedented event.
