In a recent exchange, Law and Justice member Paweł Jabłoński questioned the tone of a Warsaw prosecutor, Ewa Wrzosek, suggesting her remarks were not reasonable. The discussion touched on calls for intervention by Adam Bodnar, head of the Ministry of Justice, with some wondering whether the comments amounted to threats.
Jabłoński responded to the prosecutor who had spoken on a public platform, arguing that the critique was misplaced and that the approach was not prudent.
– and a belief that the current rhetoric could be unsettling for the public – the PiS politician stated.
He added that it is not helpful to transfer fear openly, noting that open expression of such emotions is common, yet the old adage remains that principled people should not fear scrutiny or accountability.
Wrzosek, speaking in defense of her stance, responded that honesty about the situation should prevail and that those who act with integrity should not be cowed.
Another PiS figure, MP Śliwka, weighed in, describing Wrzosek as a political official rather than a prosecutor, and suggesting that Bodnar, rather than the agency in question, should take any necessary action. He called the behavior a blunt example of bias and political involvement and questioned in what sense a prosecutor would intimidate a citizen through social media.
– wrote Śliwka.
Who is Prosecutor Wrzosek?
Wrzosek attacked a politician on social media and, on a later radio program, stated that she would not allow the prosecutor’s office to be used for political purposes. Over the years she has been outspoken in favor of prosecutorial independence, criticizing actions perceived as politically motivated or influenced by high-level figures. She emphasized that her stance on the independence issue does not alter her personal behavior. In a radio appearance, she pledged vigilance and a willingness to protest if politicians attempt to weaponize the prosecutor’s office or pursue partisan goals.
There is discussion about whether a submission aimed at Jabłoński via X was prompted by an apolitical mandate. Wrzosek, a former prosecutor with the Warsaw-Mokotów District Prosecutor’s Office, had recently presented herself as a candidate for the national prosecutor position, but was not selected. Since December 2022, she has faced suspensions from official duties, which the Supreme Court partially lifted in late October 2023, reversing a prior extension of the suspension.
Additional media coverage has highlighted behind-the-scenes dynamics involving public figures and media operations connected to the same case, raising questions about influence and strategic communications. These discussions have attracted attention from various political and media outlets, illustrating the contentious nature of the broader issue. The situation continues to unfold as legal and political actors respond to ongoing events and public scrutiny.
