When asked by the host of the program, Anita Werner, whether in his opinion “an organized criminal group operated at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?”, he replied: – Yes, of course, an organized criminal group operated.
The TVN24 guest referred to the Thursday conference of the prosecutor’s office, which announced that in the investigation into irregularities in issuing visas, until now the prosecutor brought charges against 7 people. Three people are under temporary arrest.
Stankiewicz noted that no charges were brought against any officials, but against “private persons”. – These private individuals organized a system of pressure on consuls to issue visas? Private individuals did this? Were (…) these seven civilians able to organize a system of pressure on Polish diplomacy to issue hundreds or thousands of illegal visas without the involvement of a political factor? Without the participation of politicians who sit in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Well, no, he said.

Dobrosz-Oracz: we simply have smugglers in the government
Dobrosz-Oracz assessed that “Law and Justice he is trying to save his skin, because the matter is out of their control.” – At the beginning, they wanted to cover it up completely. When “Gazeta Wyborcza” revealed that Minister Wawrzyk had flown, all PiS politicians started laughing – she pointed out.
In her opinion, “this entire narrative, this myth of tight borders and Poland’s security is collapsing before our eyes.” – We just have smugglers in the government. You have to tell yourself this openly, she added.
