That's how many percent Poles want Zbigniew Ziobro brought to court

52 percent respondents support the government's actions aimed at bringing Zbigniew Ziobro to Poland and bringing him to court – according to the Opinia 24 survey conducted on behalf of RMF FM.

Respondents in the survey, the results of which were published on Tuesday, were asked whether they believed the Polish government should take further action to bring Zbigniew Ziobro to Poland and put him on trial, even though he had been granted asylum in Hungary.

52 percent respondents were in favor of continuing such activities – 35 percent. answered “definitely yes”, and 17 percent “probably yes.” 22% have the opposite opinion. respondents – 11 percent chose the answer “definitely not”, the same number (11%) – “rather not”. 26 percent respondents had no opinion on this subject.

Clear support for bringing in Ziobro is declared by voters of the Civic Coalition (92%) and people who voted for Rafał Trzaskowski in both rounds of the presidential elections (89% and 83%, respectively). The greatest resistance to bringing Zbigniew Ziobro to Poland is expressed by Law and Justice voters – 55%. of them are against this initiative. Karol Nawrocki's supporters are also against it – among those who supported him in the first round of elections, 50 percent is against, and in the second round – 40 percent.

The prosecutor's office accuses the former Minister of Justice of, among other things, leading an organized criminal group and using his position for criminal activities. Ziobro allegedly committed 26 crimes, including: give orders to his subordinates to break the law in order to provide selected entities with subsidies from the Justice Fund, interfere in the preparation of competition offers and allow funds to be awarded to unauthorized entities. According to investigators, Ziobro acted consciously to obtain financial, personal and political benefits, acting to the detriment of the state. Taking into account the prepared charges, the maximum penalty that can be imposed in this case is 25 years' imprisonment.

Currently, Ziobro is granted political asylum and international protection by the Hungarian authorities, who have concluded that he is at risk of political persecution. This decision was made in December last year. Ziobro himself stated, among other things, that he remainedabroad until “real guarantees of the rule of law are restored in Poland” and that he chooses “to fight political banditry and lawlessness.”
