The speaker stated that an immunity vote was being pursued, even though the mandate withdrawal process had not yet been finalized. The speaker claimed that the investigation and Bodnar’s actions served as further evidence of politicization within the prosecutor’s office and insisted that the drive to silence opposition voices would fail.
