During the press conference, Minister Adam Bodnar answered questions from a reporter from the wPolityce.pl portal. The head of the Ministry of Justice commented, among other things: on the behavior of Marshal Hołownia and the issue of Tomasz Grodzki’s immunity.
During a press conference at the Ministry of Justice, he asked questions to the head of the ministry Marek Pyza from the wPolityce.pl portal, wPolsce.pl television and the weekly magazine “Sieci”.
How do you evaluate the behavior of Marshal Hołownia, who instead of going to the interview office, goes to a specific judge and demands an appropriate panel of judges?
– asked the journalist.

The second question concerned the situation of Tomasz Grodzki.
Charges were filed two days ago. Senator Grodzki would be covered by the law if the Senate adopted the prosecutor’s motion, which has not been possible for three weeks. The public prosecutor you lead cannot file any charges or only an incomplete indictment
The third question concerned Bodnar’s words about the illegal takeover of public media.
In December, you commented on the illegal takeover of public media, saying that “we are restoring constitutionality and looking for a legal basis. Have you already found this legal basis?
Bodnar’s answer
Bodnar answered questions from a journalist from wPolityce.pl and started with the third.
I have the impression that this statement has been taken out of context. I remember it then, because I think it was a conversation on Radio Zet and I heard Prof. Łętowska, who pointed out, and I absolutely agree, that the Companies Code and the relevant provisions regarding ownership rights can lead to such decisions. And this is the legal basis that I have indicated
– he said.
Referring to the Grodzki case, he said:
Regarding the issue of Marshal Tomasz Grodzki, I understand that some action was taken, but it is not clear to me because the editor himself, when asking this question, said “probably”. I have read several press reports and am not convinced whether charges have been filed against Mr. Marshal yet.
The editor of Pyza responded to his words:
Of course not, because there is no legal option to do so, because his fellow senators do not want to waive his immunity.
Bodnar argued that he could not recall a vote on the issue in the current Senate.
As a Senator, I do not remember that this was an agenda item where we would vote on this issue in the Senate of the Republic of Poland.
– he said.
In response to these words, Marek Pyza drew the minister’s attention:
Precisely. Maybe it’s time to take care of it? I ask you about your assessment as a minister
– he said.
The public prosecutor’s office has the resources to act in a certain way. (…) In such a situation I can ask about various matters, but I cannot influence the course of the prosecution in criminal cases
– Bodnar assured.
The Hołownia case
Finally, Bodnar responded to the question about Marshal Hołownia’s actions.
I’m not there to judge behavior. I believe that what I know is that Marshal Hołownia, using his powers, appealed to the Chamber of Labor to the Supreme Court and this is the knowledge that I have
– he said.
The editor of Pyza asked:
Mr. Marshal doesn’t know that the jurors are drawn by lot, but you can ask if he is good or bad?
In response, the Minister of Justice stated the following:
It’s just that Judge Prusinowski, as far as I remember, is the president of the Chamber of Labor and Social Security in the Supreme Court, and he makes decisions in this case.
