A US pardon attorney, Edward Martin, has publicly voiced support for Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro, comparing his situation to that of former US President Donald Trump. Martin asserted that both Ziobro and Trump have faced what he described as political repression. He specifically cited attacks from media outlets, the judicial system, and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk as evidence of this alleged persecution. Martin expressed disbelief at the intensity of the criticism directed towards Ziobro. The comments were made during a public discussion and have sparked debate regarding foreign interference in Polish domestic politics. This support from a US legal figure is unusual and highlights the ongoing political tensions within Poland. No further details regarding the context of Martin’s remarks were immediately available.
