Reports from multiple outlets indicate that Prof. Adam Bodnar has not aligned with President Andrzej Duda’s requests, according to a summary published by a major daily. The article notes that the Justice Minister and the Attorney General have taken a clear stance and will not order a pause in the sentences of PiS politicians under discussion. The implication is that the request for a temporary halt in sentence execution will not be granted by the ministry at this stage.
The same sources suggest Bodnar wishes to present the matter to the presidency as soon as possible. The publication asserts that the files concerning convicted former ministers, together with Bodnar’s position, are likely to reach President Duda’s desk in the near future, potentially within the coming week.
According to our reporting, Bodnar, in consultation with Prime Minister Donald Tusk, has already arrived at a decision regarding Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik. Despite the President’s appeal for a pause in the ongoing confinement and hunger strike by these officials, the Attorney General is not moving to unlock cells or to suspend the hunger strike at this moment, based on the current briefing.
— this is what the sources say.

More than half of Poles back pardoning Kamiński and Wąsik
In the coming day, a survey is scheduled to be published that probes how the public assesses the decision to initiate pardon procedures for Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik. Initial reporting suggests a plurality of respondents view the president’s action unfavorably, while a significant minority express support for the move. The provisional breakdown indicates a substantial share in the middle ground with a portion undecided.
The poll was conducted in early January using online methods with a broad national sample. The estimated margin of error remains within a few percentage points, reflecting typical national opinion tracking for this topic. The results are expected to contribute to a broader debate about presidential pardons and the appropriate handling of political figures under legal review.
