President Andrzej Duda met with Dariusz Barski today at the Presidential Palace. According to the head of state, Barski, not Dariusz Korneluk, currently holds the position of National Public Prosecutor.

Following the meeting, the president gave a statement to Polsat News.

"This Threatens the Stability of the Justice System"

- This is currently the biggest trouble for Prime Minister Donald Tusk and the Minister of Justice. In truth, unfortunately, this is the biggest problem for society because it threatens, among other things, all proceedings that were conducted with the participation of prosecutors and, above all, the stability of the justice system - said President Andrzej Duda.

- The question is, what will happen to all these individuals, especially dangerous criminals, against whom proceedings are being conducted and who are often convicted of heinous crimes. This is truly a huge social and state problem - he stated.

"The Question is, What to Do to Truly Restore the Rule of Law. Not Some Democracy with a Qualifier, as the Prime Minister Declared"

- The question is, what to do to truly restore the rule of law. Not some democracy with a qualifier, just as there was once a people's democracy, a socialist one; now it's a fighting one, as the Prime Minister declared, but rather that we have a normal, true, honest democracy. And in this democracy, Mr. Dariusz Barski, according to all currently binding regulations and the constitution, was appointed National Public Prosecutor and still is - he emphasized.

"We Are Considering What Actions We Can Take to Restore the Rule of Law"

- We are fully aware that Mr. Dariusz Barski was not allowed into the National Public Prosecutor's Office, into the building. We are currently considering what actions we can take to restore the rule of law. Among other things, this was the subject of our conversation today - indicated PAD.

He added: - We will be considering how to do this in a way that helps citizens to the greatest extent possible.
