Kaczyński Announces Rally in Front of a Ministry:

We Want to Protest Against an Attack on Patriotism.

Michał Lubowicki

- That the law is being broken, the constitution, that we essentially have a state of lawlessness in Poland, is obvious. But this time we are dealing not only with the breaking of the law [...] but also with an attack on a celebration, I'm talking about the Independence March, in which hundreds of thousands of ordinary Poles participate, and which, if there is no provocation, as was the case under the PO government, proceeds peacefully and nothing bad happens there - Jarosław Kaczyński said at a press conference. As the PiS leader assessed: - This is an attempt to bring about a situation - in fact, the beginning of an attempt, although there were already announcements before, there was talk of delegalizing this march - so that these marches simply do not take place. Or they take place in an atmosphere that will be rejected by a significant part of society - which desires peace, which is understandable. - Hence our protest, and it is a protest that we want to express this time not only from this place, or in the Sejm, but also to express it using the right to demonstrate. This kind of rally in front of the Ministry of Justice will take place not this coming Saturday, but the one after - he announced. - We want to protest against the breaking of the law, but also against an attack on Polish patriotism. It continues in Polish education, Polish culture, institutions created by us are being destroyed [...]. Today, patriotism in Poland is being suppressed, because it is obviously in contradiction with everything this government plans, carrying out what could be described as a German agenda in Poland - he continued.
