In a surprising turn of events, Mariusz Kamiński was released from a Radom prison, while Maciej Wąsik left a facility in Przytuły Stare. The decision came from President Andrzej Duda, who announced the application of the law of pardon to both politicians, this time grounded in the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
The public reply was warm and emotional. A supporter expressed heartfelt gratitude, saying the person behind the message was deeply appreciative and wished everyone well. The remark reflected gratitude toward those who stood by them during the difficult period.
One of Kamiński’s close associates publicly thanked supporters and highlighted the resolve to continue the political struggle. The message suggested that the battle would persist, and the speaker predicted an eventual victory. The tone indicated anticipation of further meetings with political figures on the horizon.
According to reports, Kamiński and his wife left the prison together by automobile. In his first comments after the release, Wąsik spoke of daily prayer and gratitude, and he asked for reassurance about his colleague’s status, wondering aloud whether Kamiński was now a free man as well.
