Przemysław Czarnek defended PiS politicians on September 15 against charges related to Zondacrypto, questioned the meaning of the communicative of buying a future pardon and accused the prosecution of political repression. However, he did not answer straight all questions about the contacts of the right-wing people with the company. For the conservative camp, the stake present is credibility, not the media point.
Blacksmith defends the presumption of innocence
Przemysław Czarnek was asked in the Sejm by a reporter from Virtual Poland about the reaction in the PiS after further reports concerning Przemysław Kral and Zondacrypto. The politician transferred the burden of conversation to law enforcement. He spoke of a man being pursued by a state that he felt could not prove a violation of the law.
This point requires fair treatment. In Poland there is inactive a presumption of innocence, besides erstwhile the rulers read fragments of the materials from the investigation in the Sejm, and the media build a political communicative from them. Blackie had the right to request procedure and evidence. At the same time, an aspiring government politician should be expected to answer circumstantial questions alternatively of the prosecution's accusations of repressiveness.
A dispute over the promise of pardon
The core of the latest publications of the WP and TVN24 "Superwizjera" is the evidence attributed to Przemysław Kral. According to the findings of both editorials, Tomasz Sakiewicz was to be the mysterious “Mr. X” who was to promise to aid get a presidential pardon in case of conviction. It's a journalistic uncovering based on an investigation report, not a final conviction or an officially confirmed fact. Sakiewicz rejects the charges.
Czarnek replied that Kral was not convicted, and the trial had not even begun. He asked who would pay 2 million zlotys for a pardon he did not request at this stage. This argument indicates a logical gap in public narrative. However, it does not find whether talks about future aid have taken place. This should be determined by the procedural bodies, and the public should know the full context, not carefully selected passages. That's why it's earlier. request that the full file be disclosed remains valid.
The President's office powerfully denied that Karol Nawrocki would meet with Kral or that talks about Zondacrypto would be held. It's an crucial reservation. An effort to attribute the head of another country's alleged promise without proof would be a political abuse.
The investigation is real, work must be individual
However, the substance must not be brought into dispute with the Government of Donald Tusk. Calendar of the National Prosecutor's Office confirms that the proceedings have been in advancement since 17 April 2026 and that further detentions and prosecutions took place in September. The charges apply to individuals. Each responds individually and, until a final judgment, benefits from the presumption of innocence.
The Prosecutor's Office informed on 3 September of allegations of, among another things, participation in an organized crime group and of large scale harm to the operator of the stock exchange. 1 of the themes described is the transfer of almost EUR 8 million to the acquisition of real property in France. These are serious procedural arrangements, but do not give the government the right to attribute collective guilt to the full right-wing camp.
The right cannot, in turn, correspond solely to the calculation of which another media accepted Zondacrypto advertisements. Michał Rachon revealed the invoices of the Republic and demanded akin transparency from Virtual Poland. It's a essential counter-control. It does not exempt any editorial, foundation or policy from explaining its own financial relations. It is besides worth remembering that Zondacrypto thread includes questions about the actions of people of present powerSo the investigation cannot be conducted selectively.
The reliability of the right requires transparency
For Poland the stake is higher than the consequence of 1 seismic skirmish. Citizens have the right to know who financed political events, media and foundations and whether money gave access to decision-makers. They besides have the right to a state that protects their resources in the cryptocurrency marketplace and does not usage the prosecution as a baton for opposition.
The Black 1 rightly recalls the presumption of innocence. However, it should go further: support the full disclosure of legally available documents, financial flows and contacts, regardless of who they impose. National-conservative camp will not defend the credibility of the counter-narration itself. He will defend her with truth, transparency and equal measurement for his and his opponents.
