Poland's judiciary has issued a European Arrest Warrant for Marcin Romanowski, a former deputy justice minister who was granted asylum in Hungary. This development signals a push by Warsaw to hold PiS-era officials accountable for alleged misuse of public funds during their tenure.
Relations between Poland and Hungary have been strained since Hungary granted sanctuary to Romanowski, a notable member of Poland's nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party. The two nations, once allies under the EU umbrella, have seen tensions rise over concerns about rule-of-law violations.
Additionally, Hungary has offered asylum to Zbigniew Ziobro, Poland's former justice minister, facing significant charges. Hungary accuses Poland's present government of political persecution, yet Poland defends its actions as efforts to uphold the rule of law under Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
