Minister's statement

Żurek said that he had received troubling reports about the incident on the train. According to him, this person was using public transport after consuming a significant amount of alcohol, and police and an ambulance were called to the scene.

The minister also criticized the procedure for selecting judges involving the so-called neo-National Council of the Judiciary. He said that this council, in his view, had selected for the Supreme Court, in violation of the law, people who did not meet the requirement of an impeccable reputation.
