This is not black and white as it might seem.
Please check who is Mr. Giertych - and he is not a hero attorney fighting for the good of the people, he was involved in a rather unclear businesses, which are now investigated by the prosecution. Giertych got a lot of publicity when he managed to skillfully avoid interrogation - when Police arrived to transport him he was faking sickness.
To make things funnier, Giertych was a member of the far right wing of the currently ruling party (Law and Order), he was even a ministry of education at some point.
Right now he pretends to be persecuted by the government just in case he will be sentenced.
Ewa Wrzosek, on the other hand, is known from exactly one case: she started investigation to check if presidential election was "safe for the society" (because of covid, obviously). The crux here is that due to the deficiencies that Polish constitution has it didn't anticipated situation in which the election cannot happen, so there were no possible legal solution to avoid the election without destabilizing political system.
So, from the beginning, it was clear that Ms. Wrzosek action was a purely political demonstration (she was a well known critic of the government). Later she admitted that "probably everything was ok" , and "eventually investigation would have been cancelled, but why not double check" [1]...
Regardless if someone likes or not current Polish authorities (I am definitely not) the attempt to undermine the election and destabilize country by some prosecutor does not sound well.

- orloffm 5y agoOne can simply look at her twitter profile. She is a clear member of "the other side", the PO/KO pro-EU/LGBT/lewica crowd. So people from that crowd treat anything against her as an offensive on them. And people from the nationaliste camp treat her as a kind of traitor. So the usual us and them thing as everywhere.
- trasz 5y agoIt's worth mentioning is that "us vs them" here is that one side which wants to bring back the rule of law and polish constitution (Wrzosek) and the other wants to keep ignoring it (polish government). Most people wouldn't call that "us vs them" though.
