- A drowning man clutches at a straw - and in Donald Tusk's case - a "petty affair," because the visa scandals happened during his time. I will likely show them to you tomorrow and present the numbers. How many visas were fraudulently obtained due to corruption when Donald Tusk was Prime Minister, and how does that compare to this "petty affair." I am not downplaying the matter - as evidenced by the charges and arrest warrants. If we had something to hide, I could have decided that this case would be handled with a different intensity - stated Zbigniew Ziobro in a conversation with journalists, responding to a question from a Polsat News reporter.

- This is not a large scandal in terms of the number of visas, that's Donald Tusk's great lie. But I was outraged that there might be individuals taking bribes to expedite visa issuance - the Minister of Justice continued.

- The fact that such a procedure on a larger scale took place during Tusk's time - in no way justifies those who have now committed offenses (...) These were bribes paid to expedite the issuance of 268 visas - he added.
