However, the thousand-year-old Polish-Hungarian friendship "can't be harmed by the actions of a group of people enjoying the temporary trust of the Poles, (...) representing foreign interests on the Vistula".

The current Polish government has an arrogant attitude towards Hungary - the Lawyers for Poland organization commented in its open letter on the request of the Hungarian ambassador in Warsaw, which was made because of the right of asylum granted to the opposition representative Marcin Romanowski in Hungary.

The letter addressed to the Warsaw ambassador István Íjgyártó was published on the conservative Polish news portal wpolityce.pl. In a document signed by Judge Lukasz Piebiak, the president of a law firm critical of the current Polish government's legal practice, the organization expressed its regret that the Hungarian ambassador was invited to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Warsaw last Friday to hand over the list of protests concerning the Romanowski case.

"extremely arrogant" how "the law-violating (Polish) government is trying to educate the democratic Hungarian state". The ambassador's request proves that "the government, which has now assumed a dictatorial character, is afraid of Hungary's stability".

However, the thousand-year-old Polish-Hungarian friendship "cannot be harmed by the actions of a group of people enjoying the temporary trust of the Poles, (...) representing foreign interests at the Vistula"

they said.

In the year after taking office, the government in Warsaw " created a state of complete absence of the rule of law" , and this should provoke "the protest of the civilized world" , the letter states.

They refer to the fact that Donald Tusk's government "illegally took over the public media and many state bodies, including the prosecutor's office" in the last year. "Usurpers subordinate to the ruling party" were appointed in place of the unjustly dismissed presidents of the courts

They also mention the general violation of the principles of the rule of law, as well as the way in "political trials" report abuse in pretrial detention.

In the letter, they praise Hungary's attitude as "the only European state that is not afraid to stand up for the protection of Polish society, is not afraid to talk about the situation in Poland, and take concrete steps" in this regard.

Marcin Romanowski, the representative of the main opposition party, Law and Justice, former deputy minister of justice, was suspected of committing eighteen crimes in Poland, including participation in an organized criminal group that caused damage to state property.

The politician considers the prosecution proceedings against him to be illegal and the decision of the Sejm to suspend the parliamentary immunity is invalid.
