Warsaw officials are gloating that so-called “bandits, criminals, and thieves” will soon be tried in Poland.
Donald Tusk on X.
Péter Magyar’s incoming Tisza government is set to extradite two senior figures from Poland’s former conservative Law and Justice (PiS) administration who sought refuge in Hungary from leftist PM Donald Tusk’s pursuit of his rivals.
It is no wonder that Tusk, a fellow member of the centrist-liberal European People’s Party, is so happy with Magyar’s victory.
Orbán’s Defeat Sparks Gloating Across Europe’s Establishment
Jubilant reactions from EU figures reveal how pivotal Hungary had become in opposing further centralisation—but Patriots for Europe are “more united than ever” in their mission to defend the sovereignty of Europe’s nations.
Former Polish justice minister Zbigniew Ziobro faces jail time of up to 25 years, although his supporters have described the accusations leveled against him as “the terror of political revenge.” Outgoing Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán granted him international protection and political asylum in January this year.
Marcin Romanowski, a former Polish deputy justice minister, was also granted asylum in Hungary before later having a European Arrest Warrant lifted by a Warsaw court.
Magyar gloated on Monday: “I’ve already suggested to them that they should not go to Ikea and buy new furniture because they won’t stay in Hungary long.” He added that “Hungary will not harbor internationally wanted criminals.”
Speaker of the Polish Sejm Włodzimierz Czarzasty has also celebrated the prospect of so-called “potential bandits, criminals, and thieves” being tried in Warsaw.
However, PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński said this amounted to the establishment of “a dictatorship, and an exceptionally disgusting dictatorship at that.”
This threat is underlined by the fact Hungary’s incoming PM has confirmed he will make Poland the destination for his first official overseas visit.
At the same time, Magyar is calling on several senior officeholders—including the president of the republic, the chief prosecutor, the head of the State Audit Office, and the president of the media authority—to step down, saying that “those who have robbed the country must be held accountable.”
That push has been met with firm resistance from those targeted, who insist they are acting “in accordance with the law” and have no intention of stepping down.

Leftists do this because conservatives never hold them accountable for abuse of power.
Conservatives never exercise power, because they are afraid that if they do exercise power, then the Leftists might also exercise power.
Meanwhile, the Leftists ALWAYS exercise power, and have for over a century, at every possible opportunity, with relentless vindictiveness.
Conservatives need to wake up.
> “Hungary will not harbor internationally wanted criminals.” <
That’s a troublesome statement. Because courts can and will indict any conservative who dares to be conservative.
The Tommy Robinson case is a perfect example of that.
Time will tell. But it looks like we can trash the theory that Magyar will just be a gentler version of Orbán.
Big time.
Unfortunately.
I was looking for Trump to bolster Hungary the next 2.5 years.
Now...not so much. I don’t want to nourish the liberal beast.
However, I do not know the inner workings there; perhaps Hungary will not yet go full-Euro-squish.
Soros bought an election
How many so far?
An illustration of conservatives never exercising power while the leftists always do may be found in a country south of Canada and north of Mexico on the continent of North America.

No idea, but (based on news coverage here) it seems like Soros funded an awful lot of left-wing campaigns for state attorney general, as well as city & county prosecuting attorneys, here in the US. That's reportedly how a lot of Democrat "no prosecutions & release without bail" officials were elected. Happy to be corrected, if Soros funding wasn't involved...
;^)
This is who Donald Tusk appointed as Polish Minister of Education. And she is a member of the Leftist Party, and not even Tusk’s more “centrist” Party.

She sees the causes[clarification needed] of racist attitudes and xenophobic prejudices in social inequalities.
You got it backwards, Tusk’s Party is the PO. He did this, not the PiS.
Then he should be demanding that the US hand over Soros, who is wanted in Hungary for his crimes there.
And they will eventually arrest Orban and put him on trial, that is if he doesn’t flee to Russia beforehand.
Does that include Netanyahu and Gallant? 🤔
Just like the democRATs will try to do to President Trump if they get a chance.
But more importantly, what will happen to Orban's zebra?
