Poland’s Minister of Justice pictured with a pistol at his waist

As Ziobro’s jacket billowed from the wind, the Glock-brand pistol at his waist was reflected in the footage as he laid a wreath at the memorial built in memory of those who died in a mining accident in Poland.

Ziobro, who issued a statement on the matter after the image was shared and criticized on social media, said he obtained a gun license years ago because a leader of a criminal organization threatened him.

“Like any citizen, I have the right to protect myself and my family.” Supporting Ziobro, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki also stated that Ziobro can buy weapons like any other citizen.

Ziobro, who in his earlier statements claimed that he did shooting exercises at shooting ranges as a hobby, claimed that he was not allowed to have a gun in the vehicle on the day of the ceremony, as the gun was on his waist. .

Ziobro added that he doesn’t always have the gun on him. (AA)
