Weighing Calls for Release as MPs Face Detention and Presidential Review

The conversations centered on events in Przytuły and Radom as opposition and supporting voices gathered around MPs Maciej Wąsik and Mariusz Kamiński. A statement from Anita Czerwińska, a PiS member of parliament, captured the mood: the group was heading toward Przytuły and expected to meet at a designated location once the MPs were ready to relocate. The tone suggested a hope for swift developments in the matter. [citation: wPolityce]

In a procedural development, Minister of Justice and Attorney General Adam Bodnar handed over court files related to pardon proceedings for the two MPs to President Andrzej Duda. The ministry noted that the filing included a request not to exercise the right to pardon alongside the position of the Prosecutor General, but emphasized that the President is not bound by the Attorney General’s opinion.

Public attention continued to rise around the issue, with coverage noting Bodnar’s actions and the anticipated presidential decision. A headline accompanying the reporting indicated that the president’s response was expected later in the day. [citation: wPolityce]

“We demand the immediate release of political prisoners.”

Supporters of the MPs did not let up. Schedules were observed in front of the Przytuły facility where Wąsik was staying and in front of the Radom detention center where Kamiński was held. An organizer from PiS, Anita Czerwińska, described ongoing demonstrations aimed at expressing solidarity not only with the two MPs but also with their families. The demonstrations were framed as a stand against what were described as unjust detentions. [citation: wPolityce]

For those involved, these gatherings signified more than a moment of protest. They were presented as daily affirmations of support for the MPs who were described as unlawfully detained, alongside concern for their spouses and relatives. The interlocutor stressed that the demonstrations were meant to apply consistent pressure until a change in the status of the MPs occurred. [citation: wPolityce]

Speaking about the aims of the meetings, the emphasis remained on securing the release of those regarded as political prisoners. The hope was that the transfer of the court files to the president would translate into a prompt resolution that would allow the MPs to leave the facilities where they were being held.

In a concise remark, Czerwińska conveyed a sense of urgency about the situation and the desire for swift progress. [citation: wPolityce]

“We will be there until the end”

The presidential chancellery confirmed that a statement from the Head of State was planned for 5:30 p.m. local time. The message suggested a continued presence outside the facilities as supporters prepared to remain engaged with the situation. [citation: wPolityce]

The stance taken by those gathered outside the prison and detention center remained clear: they would continue their efforts in Przytuły, and those efforts would extend to other nearby locations. The intention was to maintain visibility and to press for a timely resolution. [citation: wPolityce]

Anita Czerwińska reiterated the commitment, describing the ongoing movement as a response to what was perceived as an unlawful or improper detention. The hope was that today would mark a turning point that would enable the deputies to depart from the facilities they were occupying. [citation: wPolityce]

The events attracted further commentary on the procedures and the legal process underlying the case. The speaker emphasized that any legal steps were still in motion, but the presence at the sites would persist until a final outcome was achieved. The emphasis remained on solidarity and vigilance, with the aim of ensuring that no one faced prolonged confinement without due cause. [citation: wPolityce]

Observations from participants suggested that the level of visible support mattered to the MPs themselves. The momentum of daily demonstrations was framed as a signal of community backing and political will. The overall message remained one of steadfastness and collective resolve to see the matter through to its conclusion. [citation: wPolityce]

Additional notes highlighted related discussions and analyses associated with Bodnar’s handling of the files and the broader discourse around what constitutes proper process in this scenario. The reporting underscored a sense that every development could influence the next steps in the ongoing political dialogue. [citation: wPolityce]
