Berek on Mentzen's Resolution Regarding Troops in Ukraine:

Clear Declarations Have Already Been Made. Emotions Should Not Be Played With.

Michał Lubowicki

– The Prime Minister, the Minister of National Defence, and the Marshal of the Sejm have spoken unequivocally: there is absolutely no issue whatsoever in the public sphere concerning the deployment of Polish soldiers to Ukrainian territory – stated Maciej Berek on "Gość Radia ZET".

– Consequently, adopting resolutions stating that we will not do something that nobody is planning is as valid as adopting resolutions stating that we will not send these troops to any other place where nobody is planning for us to send them – assessed the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers.

"One Cannot Approach This Lightly and With a Smile"
– I understand that there is a presidential campaign, that MP Mentzen is seeking areas where he can be quoted […], but these are matters that touch upon the sense of security of Poles, the clarity of tasks set for the armed forces. Therefore, one cannot approach this entirely lightly and with a smile – he stated.

He added: – Very clear, unambiguous declarations have been made, and anyone who wishes to participate responsibly in this public discourse should take this into account. Emotions, which are evoked by saying "perhaps something will happen, we want guarantees that it won't," should not be played with. These guarantees were articulated immediately after this topic even appeared in the public sphere.
