- We want to show the difference in standards between the PiS government and the government of the December 13 coalition. The difference in government standards when a crisis occurs, when Polish citizens are outside our country and there is no reaction from the rulers as today, compared to the reaction of the PiS government at the time, a reaction related to the evacuation of our compatriots who found themselves in conflict zones - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building.

- Above all, we demand a reaction from the government. We demand that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs functions, that the Prime Minister makes decisions, that there is no inertia. We ask: is the Minister of Foreign Affairs at work today, is he in Chobielin, or is he inspecting his estates like a count or a village headman? Where has Radosław Sikorski hidden? - he asked.

- And where is Donald Tusk? What actions is the government headed by Donald Tusk taking? Where is the evacuation plan for Polish citizens from the Middle East? Does this plan exist or not? I assume it doesn't. The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs comes out and argues with journalists. This is the reaction of the December 13 coalition government - he stated.

- Are these the standards of a European country belonging to Western civilization, or the standards of some kind of Bantustan that is concerned only with staying in power, with fighting those who are inquisitive, who demand a reaction? - he continued.

- An evacuation plan for Poles who remain in the Middle East should be prepared and implemented immediately. Our diplomatic missions in the Middle East should be strengthened. They cannot be closed. They must operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. [...] We must act as neighboring countries and other European states are acting. Therefore, we must look for opportunities to support our compatriots, not leave everything to travel agencies and airlines - he listed.
