Tusk:

"They will not silence us, they will face criminal charges." Rachoń interrupts KO leader's speech before TVP with questions about Merkel and Putin

Michał Olech

The opposition leader held a morning press conference in front of TVP to announce the list of KO politicians delegated to participate in TVP programs. After a few minutes, Donald Tusk's speech was interrupted by Michał Rachoń – what he was saying exactly was inaudible during the broadcast, apart from fragments of questions about conversations with Putin and Merkel. The moderator of the conference informed about the necessity of calling the police.

- I have the impression that you will appreciate the efforts of a PiS official, which actually have the value of a wonderful illustration of what state television in Poland is like today. I want to tell you that they will not silence us - stated Donald Tusk.

- The situation in Ukraine looked exactly like this when I had the opportunity to visit Ukraine during the conflict on the Maidan. This is how the then authorities treated the opposition and sent so-called 'titushky', officials whose work deceptively resembles the actions of political police, provocateurs - the PO leader continued.

- My words about criminal responsibility for all those who break laws and the Constitution, destroying state television, have gained exceptional confirmation today. These kinds of people, who disrupt, among other things, opposition press conferences, will also face criminal charges after winning the elections - Tusk added.
