Hungary grants asylum to Polish ex-justice minister
Hungary has granted asylum to a former Polish justice minister, Zbigniew Ziobro, who faced a European arrest warrant issued by Poland. Ziobro, a prominent figure in the Law and Justice party, was accused of exceeding his powers while in office in a case related to the disciplinary chamber for judges.
The Hungarian government confirmed that Ziobro had been granted asylum on the grounds of political persecution. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s chief of staff, Gergely Gulyas, stated that they believed Ziobro would not receive a fair trial in Poland due to the political situation there.
Poland, on the other hand, has criticized Hungary’s decision, labeling it as interference in their internal affairs. Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Pawel Jablonski expressed disappointment, stating that Hungary’s actions were undermining the mutual trust between the two countries.
Ziobro’s case has further strained the already tense relationship between the European Union and Poland, with the EU criticizing Poland for its judicial reforms, which Brussels claims undermine the independence of the judiciary.
Hungary’s decision to grant asylum to Ziobro is likely to escalate tensions within the EU, as it highlights the ongoing disputes over the rule of law and political independence within member states.
