\u201cI have become the target of personal revenge by Donald Tusk and his circle,\u201d Ziobro wrote, warning that members of the government would face \u201csevere consequences.\u201d He claimed the proceedings against him amounted to retaliation against the opposition.<\/p>\n
Polish government minister Tomasz Siemoniak slammed Ziobro. \u201cRefuge in Hungary is a downright perfect summary of Ziobro\u2019s career. The former Minister of Justice fleeing like a coward from the Polish justice system. Total downfall,\u201d he commented on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ziobro was\u00a0stripped of immunity<\/a> in November last year, amid an escalating confrontation between Tusk\u2019s government and the opposition Law and Justice. Several former Law and Justice officials are under investigation over alleged corruption<\/a> during the party\u2019s\u00a0period in power.<\/p>\n Ziobro is a key figure in an investigation into why and how the Law and Justice-led government allegedly purchased Pegasus spyware<\/a> to surveil political opponents. If indicted, he could face up to 25 years in prison.<\/p>\n Ziobro previously fled abroad. He said he had also applied for his\u00a0wife to receive international protection.<\/p>\n Hungary previously granted asylum <\/a>to former Polish Deputy Justice Minister Marcin Romanowski, who faced 11\u00a0charges<\/a>\u00a0in Poland for misuse of public funds when he was deputy justice minister from 2019 to 2023. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI have become the target of personal revenge by Donald Tusk and his circle,\u201d Ziobro wrote, warning that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":692580,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[41727,2190,1106,12,770,18241,1781,26,209128],"class_list":{"0":"post-692579","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-hungarian-politics","9":"tag-hungary","10":"tag-judiciary","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-poland","13":"tag-polish-politics","14":"tag-viktor-orban","15":"tag-world","16":"tag-zbigniew-ziobro"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115886221249259089","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=692579"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692579\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/692580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=692579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=692579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=692579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
