Nowacka to Terlecki: I Expect You to Apologize to My Mother, Whom You Removed from the Session. The Smolensk Catastrophe is Not Just Yours. Terlecki: I Apologize for the Mistake

My name is Barbara Nowacka, and I expect you to apologize to my mother, the late Izabela Jaruga-Nowacka, whom you removed from the session today. I am merely reminding you that the Smolensk catastrophe was not yours alone, and everyone perished there. Just as Poland is not exclusively yours, and you have no right to appropriate it” - said Barbara Nowacka from the Civic Coalition from the parliamentary rostrum.

I very politely apologize to the Honourable Member for the mistake. Of course, I did not remove the Honourable Member or the late Honourable Mother from the session. I apologize” - said Deputy Marshal Terlecki.

Thank you, Mr. Marshal. At least you have courage, because Mr. Kaczyński has retreated” - replied Nowacka.

Terlecki, around 10:32 AM, during the crisis in the plenary hall, asked a Sejm Chancellery employee sitting next to him what the microphones had registered: „Who is this tall blonde standing there?”. And after his response „Jaruga”, Terlecki stated that he was calling to order Member of Parliament „Jaruga-Nowacka”.
