How strongly are Poles sure that president Duda defend Poland's interests ? [265]
Duda tried to pardon the two criminals,
The pardon granted before the final court ruling has been given is not legally binding. Once the final ruling has given (about December 20th, 2023), the President had ample time to pardon them properly. He declined to do so.

Btw, TV Republika, a very little conservative brother of the recently murdered state/party tv channel, is experiencing rapid growth. I wonder how devoted they'll be to the cause of restoring tvp to its former glory status, since they benefit financialy big time from it staying dead. Apparently the price of a 30 second commercial in Republika went from 500pln to 20k pln.
