Duda threatens the judges to die by hanging. Bodnar's reaction

Minister of Justice and lawyer General Adam Bodnar wrote to Andrzej Duda a letter after his controversial words about "suspending for treason" in the context of Polish judges. He admitted that "there's no way to walk past them." "They should never die," said the outgoing president.


Bodnar besides posted his writing to Duda on the X platform. "Today I sent a letter to the president of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda in consequence to fresh words which, in my opinion, should never fall out of his mouth," he said at the outset.

The minister did not hide the surprise that "the highest guardian of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland mocks the fundamental constitutional principle" and "refuses the principles of judicial independence". According to Bodnar, "this, however, is nothing against unparalleled threats against judges who would prompt them to quit respect for the Constitution."

Bodnar: No 1 has always threatened the judges so openly with specified a fine

"Never before has anyone in Poland, endowed with specified a powerful democratic mandate as the President, threatened judges so openly, straight undermining their rights as a warrant of their independence" – the letter continues.

"These words cannot be ignored. They are a continuation of the attack on the justice strategy coordinated by the President's political camp," Bodnar wrote.



According to the head of MS, Duda "instead of gratitude to the faithful for his appointment of judges, he shows them contempt and incites society towards them". Finally, Bodnar recalled that the president had late received the Order of Freedom, which is the highest honour from the Ukrainian authorities.

"But it should be remembered that erstwhile Ukraine is trying to be a associate of the European Union, including with the support of the President, in its words, you are questioning the quintessentialness of European values of the regulation of law and the independency of the judiciary" - he concluded.

What did Andrew Duda say about the judges?

As we wrote on Temat.pl, Andrzej Duda gave an interview for the Open Conservation, fresh Deal and the Jagiellonian Club. In the interview he spoke, among others, about the situation in the judiciary.

– If this environment does not come to mind, then all these people will should be expelled from the judiciary without the right to remainder – it fell out of Duda's mouth. As he added, "maybe there will yet come a day erstwhile we just gotta do it."

After a while, he shared his reputation. – late 1 man spoke to me very violently. Do you know why there is so much betrayal and brazenness in Poland? due to the fact that no 1 has been hanged for treason in a long time," said Andrzej Duda. And at the same time, he said that there was fact in those words.

After a wave of critical comments, the president published an entry on platform X: "I mildly remind you of KO and their media acolytes, who first, any time ago, talked about hanging. This is your leader, and today, Prime Minister Donald Tusk. someway you did not tremble at the outrage."



Duda thus referred to the situation of 2021, erstwhile Donald Tusk posted on social media a fragment of Czesław Miłosz's poem, dedicating it to Duda.
