Komorowski on the Proposal to Equate Banderite Symbols with Nazi and Communist Ones:

I Suspect There’s Some Russian Inspiration Here.

I would like to ask Mr. President, where were you? Even as the head of the IPN, all these years? Where were all the governments – left-wing, right-wing, centrist – for so many years, when no one put forward such an idea? So why now? I suspect there’s some Russian inspiration here, plain and simple – stated Bronisław Komorowski in "Morning Conversation on RMF FM", when asked about the president's proposal to equate Banderite symbols with Nazi and communist ones in the IPN Act.

Behind this kind of thinking lies either some antipathy rooted in historical emotions, or some inspiration from people with an anti-Ukrainian, pro-Russian orientation. Because why did no one advance this thesis for so many years, including the head of the IPN, Mr. Nawrocki, previously? – he continued.
