“I am not asking you to change your views. I am asking for parliamentary language in the debate. For language that does not offend or insult anyone, because that is very important. You can have views, and you must have them, because if someone has no views, they shouldn’t be sitting here. You are sitting here precisely because you have views. They are often very distinct, strong, and deep; some use the word radical, but I ask that the language of debate not be radical, but rather a language of respect. I have appealed for this already and will continue to appeal indefinitely, because Poland needs this immensely, and I am deeply convinced that the majority of our compatriots expect it. Let the parliamentary debate not offend or cause scandal” – stated President Andrzej Duda during the first session of the Sejm of the new term.
