“On the one hand we have clear legal provisions, on the other hand: the reprehensible, combative statements of Donald Tusk and the incitement to commit a crime. Because the Constitution strengthens the role of the NBP President. The same Constitution of the Republic of Poland that Donald Tusk’s supporters and his political base have so zealously called to defend over the past eight years,” said Dr. Hab. against the wPolityce.pl portal. Marcin Warchoł, Member of Parliament of Sovereign Poland, former Minister of Justice.

“Critical sentences that are sharp, but not intended to be demeaning” – this is how the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Radom assessed the words of Donald Tusk during the KO convention in this city about the President of the NBP, Prof. Adam Glapinski. Speaking in the summer of 2022: “A much smaller doubt would be enough to remove the man from the NBP, and I will do it. I assure!” Tusk was the leader of the largest opposition group, today he is Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland. And one of the ministers in his administration: the head of the Justice Department and the Attorney General, Adam Bodnar, is trying to “remove” prosecutor Dariusz Barski from the Public Prosecutor’s Office – in a way that raises doubts about the president, but also by Bodnar’s deputies and regional prosecutors.
The Radom District Prosecutor’s Office has stopped the investigation into Donald Tusk’s words from July 2022. It also stated that the then opposition leader’s statement did not contain a threat to physically remove Adam Glapiński from his position.
“We see why Bodnar needed the prosecutor’s office”
We asked Dr. for his opinion on this. hab. Marcin Warchoł, Member of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland, former Minister of Justice.
This is a clear scandal. But at least now we understand why Adam Bodnar needed the prosecution. He attacked the prosecutor’s office so that such matters would remain unexplained – so that an attack on the media could be carried out with impunity – which, by the way, is a case with the prosecutor’s office, just like the case of entering the presidential palace. , and finally – the attack on the prosecutor’s office itself.
– says the interlocutor of wPolityce.pl.
The MP points out that the cases that have just been discontinued show what the purpose of the actions of the current head of the Ministry of Justice was.
The position of the NBP president is stronger than that of the prime minister. He is absolutely protected and these words from Donald Tusk were reprehensible. It was an incitement to commit a crime, because the chairman of the NBP is a body protected by law
– emphasizes Warchoł.
What’s left for the Poles?
But it is not just about the current Prime Minister’s offensive, or in a sense dangerous statements.
Donald Tusk and Adam Bodnar are taking actions aimed at destroying the prosecutor’s office so that cases like these statements or the windmill scandal are not explained and brought to justice. They also need the Constitutional Court for the same purpose. They want to deprive the Poles of their independent institutions, which they can use as a last resort. Such bodies include the Constitutional Court and the Public Prosecution Service
– points to the former Minister of Justice.
The mandate of the chairman of the NBP is very strong. He is appointed by agreement between the Sejm and the President for a term of six years. It has the strongest legitimacy, it is responsible for the issuance of Polish currency, it has been elevated to a very high rank, we must remember this. And this kind of research could explain what Donald Tusk called for in the summer of 2022
– seek attention.
“They will not shirk their responsibility.”
Ph.D. Marcin Warchoł emphasizes that the dismissal of the NBP president from his position also requires strictly defined procedures.
When it comes to being brought before the State Tribunal, everything is clearly spelled out. Initiating proceedings before the Court of Justice requires an absolute majority, with at least half of the Members of Parliament present. This results in the suspension of the NBP President from his activities, but Donald Tusk should know about this. And if he didn’t know, at least ask what the procedures are for firing the NBP president
– says the interlocutor of wPolityce.pl.
Firstly, we have very strict requirements here, and secondly, the judgment of the Constitutional Court, which expressed its unequivocal opinion on the legal status of the President of the NBP
– indicates.
On the one hand we have clear legal provisions, on the other hand: the reprehensible, combative statements of Donald Tusk and the incitement to commit a crime. Because the Constitution strengthens the role of the NBP President. The same Constitution of the Republic of Poland that Donald Tusk’s supporters and his political base have so zealously pushed to defend over the past eight years. And Donald Tusk, in a reprehensible, impudent, combative manner, insulting human decency, called for breaking the law. The prosecutor’s office is not explaining this case, nor is it explaining it because Adam Bodnar committed an unlawful attack on the prosecutor’s office
– he notes.
But all those who have done this cannot be sure that one day it will not backfire on themselves. These cases have no statute of limitations, they will be a burden and they will not escape responsibility. Maybe Donald Tusk or Adam Bodnar will escape to Brussels, but not all the prosecutors who legitimize it will escape. They will remain in the country and be held accountable. They should know that by endorsing the illegal decisions of Adam Bodnar, they are legitimizing the illegal actions of Bodnar and his usurpers, led by Jacek Bilewicz. They must be aware that they will be held liable and will pay for it. These are illegal actions
– emphasizes the former minister.
There is no doubt that we are committing a coup. They declared this collectively. For the first time in the history of Poland, the deputies of the Attorney General wrote a notice of opening of the proceedings and opposed these actions. The illegality of Bodnar’s actions was also confirmed by all regional prosecutors throughout Poland, and finally by the heads of the departments fighting organized crime and corruption. The best and most experienced prosecutors unanimously declared that Adam Bodnar is breaking the law. You don’t need any better evidence, you don’t need any better position. Any decisions that legitimize the illegal actions of Tusk’s government will be held accountable in the future
– summarizes MP Marcin Warchoł.
