„Ak má byť dôvodom na zmenu organizácie prokuratúry výlučne riešenie personálnej otázky, tak to je veľmi zlá cesta. To je veľmi zvláštna predstava o fungovaní právneho štátu."
Žilinka varoval pred účelovou reformou prokuratúry šitou na jednu osobu.
„Zo strany pána predsedu vlády to bolo podané spôsobom, ktorý by som mohol vnímať ako vyhrážanie sa."
Reakcia generálneho prokurátora na ústavnoprávnom výbore parlamentu.
„Pán Žilinka by mal z funkcie odstúpiť pre zlyhania a nespôsobilosť plniť úlohy generálneho prokurátora. A zotrvávaním vo svojej funkcii bude vytvárať podmienky na prípravu a schválenie rozsiahlej reformy rezortu prokuratúry."
