Zbigniew Ziobro, Poland’s Justice Minister, declared from abroad that he would come to Warsaw within hours if his demands for judicial reforms and restoration of prosecutor authority are met.
Remote Declaration
Zbigniew Ziobro said he chose to confront and resist injustice by staying abroad. He promised to return immediately to Poland should he find courts operating independently and the prosecutor’s office functioning under the law.
Conditions for Return
Ziobro added that he would appear in the country within a few hours if the random allocation of cases to judges is restored. He cited this as a prerequisite for his return.
Reinstatement Demands
He also demanded the reinstatement of court presidents who were illegally dismissed and the reinstatement of several criminal division judges who had been unjustly removed from their roles. Additionally, he insisted on restoring legal authority in the prosecutor’s office, including a legitimate national prosecutor.
Further Information
More details are expected soon.
