08:29 I have news for Mr. Kaczyński, who decided to speak without any reason, that the constitution has just begun to apply.
08:36 I think that talking about lawlessness is out of place.
08:49 Because there is one prosecutor general, and the decisions he makes are absolutely reasonable and are in line with the law.
