A few days ago, demonstrations erupted outside the residence of a top Polish political figure, with participants scrawling words like “Dictatorship” and “You are not going to lock us all up” in fresh snow. In the days that followed, new banners showing solidarity with the targeted politicians began to appear in Gdańsk, signaling a broader mobilization beyond initial protests.
The focal point of the coverage centers on the detention of Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik, both members of the ruling party, who were held at the Presidential Palace before being moved to a police facility in Warsaw for transfer to the Warsaw-Grochów Remand Center. The day before a separate rally of supporters gathered, the two MPs were relocated to different detention locations. Both men initiated hunger strikes while authorities considered clemency measures, and the president initiated a pardon process in response to the deteriorating health of Kamiński. Kamiński remains in a hospital cell within Radom’s Remand House, hindered by serious health concerns, while Wąsik is reported to be in a facility near Ostrołęka.
Across the country, actions of solidarity are being organized to support imprisoned PiS politicians who have positioned themselves as critics of corruption. Reports highlight a demonstration in front of a prominent political figure’s home in Sopot, where participants again wrote messages in the snow like “Dictatorship” and “You’re not going to lock us all up.” These events illustrate a pattern of street mobilization linked to ongoing debates about political accountability and the treatment of lawmakers under investigation.
