Andrzej Duda plans to pardon MPs Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik again. At the same time, the president claims that he considers his 2015 pardon important, but is changing his mind “because he is fully aware of the tragedy of this situation.”
Another pardon?
Today, Mariusz Kamiński is in a very difficult health situation and is constantly on hunger strike. Maciej Wąsik is also on hunger strike. I wish this would be stopped. If the only way to stop this is to simply pardon them again just to save them, then I will.
– announces the president in an interview with Super Expres.
When asked when he thought Kamiński and Wąsik would return home, he replied that he hoped it would be as soon as possible.
I have already appealed to Minister Adam Bodnar for creating the conditions for him to prevent both men from serving their prison sentences. Unfortunately, he doesn’t take advantage of that. This is shocking to me. I think this is a brutal way of putting it
– he explained.
Chairman: ‘My pardon is still in effect’
The president added that his 2015 pardon is still in effect. He noted that he had pardoned PiS politicians in accordance with the Polish Constitution, and this compliance with the Constitution was confirmed by the Constitutional Court.
My pardon is still in effect. Both the judicial community in Poland, and to some extent also the legal community, which has changed its mind in recent years, are tearing pages from their own textbooks and pretending that they had no positions before 2016. And they emphasize that this pardon granted to Mr. Kamiński and Wąsik, was unacceptable. In my opinion and in the opinion of the Constitutional Court, this was permitted
– he said in an interview.
