    If only Polish minister of justice, among other state officials, didn’t treat Ziobro as a convicted felon already, maybe that Hungarian court wouldn’t have a point that courts in Poland aren’t independent from political influence. Then again I’d never expect neoliberal Politico to criticise a neoliberal coalition that’s ruling Poland.

    I’d never expect current government to persecute political criminals either, last time some reps got stuck in the elevator when they were voting on state tribunal for Ziobro.

      Ziobro suspected of misuse of millions? The one who persecuted independent judiciary? The one who bended prosecutors to his political will? The one during whose rule people were arrested with cameras present? The one who was involved in the decisions at the end resulting in “suicide” of Barbara Blida? The one who made a runner under the wings of Orban, known Putin’s shill? This Ziobro?
