I want an independent court to be established again, an independent prosecutor’s office, independent public television, and if someone steals from me, it should be seen and punished – said the head of PO Donald Tusk in Kartuzy (Pomeranian Voivodeship).
During the meeting with the residents of Kartuzy, the head of the PO was asked what his plan was after an eventual election victory, so that no vacancies would be filled with “their own”.

In his reply, Tusk drew attention to the situation when he first won the election and became prime minister. He also referred to – as he said – recent conversations with journalists.
I say can you even remember there was a guy like me who when he became prime minister decided that the head of the CBA would remain the one appointed by PiS because that’s what the rules say that’s the spirit of the law on the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau. And that’s what it’s all about, that if someone wins the election and takes power, it doesn’t mean they take over everything. It doesn’t mean he’s using that power to get his friends to make money and go unpunished in the first place.
he said.
TVP during Tusk’s reign
He also made reference to public television during his reign.
There was no public television that was as critical of the government as when I was prime minister. It never occurred to me to suggest that a right-wing journalist should be fired from public television
– argued the leader of the PO.
They beat me like a drum every day. I didn’t cry because I believe that’s the role of public television. That’s what the public media is for, so that they don’t attack the opposition, but check the authorities every day
– added.
As he pointed out, this is why the CBA was created.
And I had a deep conviction that such an independent agency (…) The agency is there to control and watch the hands of the authorities
he said.
and that’s why, among other things, I then decided that okay, he’s my enemy, but I’d rather he watch over mine as an enemy. I’d rather let my people know they’re being watched even by someone like (Mariusz) Kamiński than take over this space and give the impression that we’re unpunished
Tusk said.
As he added, when these independent institutions do not exist, “power can not only steal, not only go unpunished, but also do anything with a citizen.”
Today we witness it
– assessed the leader of the PO.
The head of the PO said to the questioner:
I don’t want to tell you that I personally will make sure no one steals. I want an independent court, an independent prosecutor’s office, an independent public television to be established again, and if someone steals from me, it should be seen and punished.
Tusk portrays himself as a conservative
The leader of the civic platform, Donald Tusk, said in Kartuzy that it is not enough to take money from taxes and distribute it to the people so that Polish women and men want to start a family and have many children. According to him, a mother who gives birth to a child should feel that she will not be left alone.
The president of the Civic Platform, Donald Tusk, continued his visit to the Pomeranian Voivodeship as part of the #TuJestPrzyszłość action. Tusk visited the gymnasium of the Secondary School Complex in Kartuzy on Friday evening.
During the meeting with sympathizers, the PO chairman raised the demographic issue in Poland.
We are in the right place, precisely because we have all contributed to this birth rate here
– said Tusk and asked “what happens despite large social transfers, despite the fact that PiS has a mouth full of slogans and phrases about family, children, state care, what happens that we have the deepest demographic crisis in Polish history that this sad difference, more deaths than births, is the most dramatic since 1945?
He added that it was only worse during World War II and again asked what needed to be done to make a young Polish girl think about motherhood as something she really wants.
He also stressed that the heart of Kashubia is home to people who deeply believe in and respect tradition.
We are Catholic, we respect the past and we respect the traditional institutions of public life, all the more we should demand such actions that ensure that women’s rights (will be respected), and I am not talking about revolutions ( …)
– Tusk explained, adding that it is not enough to take money from taxes and distribute it to people so that Polish women and men want to start a family and have many children.
What is also needed is the feeling, especially of a young woman, that the state will not frighten her at every step like a gendarme; that the state will be able to take care of all the work, that the mother, when she gives birth to a child, will not be left alone
– said Tusk, arguing that the state should provide assistance to mothers who decide to give birth to disabled children.
According to him, Poles decide not to create large families because they have lost confidence in the authorities as a guardian in a difficult situation, because they hear about punishment.
During his speech, Tusk also commented on the motto of the last PiS convention – “Programowy Ul of Law and Justice”. Tusk said beekeepers responded with optimistic information that “there are a lot of drones in the hive in the spring, but the procedure is such that bees remove the drones from the hive in the fall.”
Apparently, Donald Tusk is still counting on voters’ short memories. The PO leader hopes that the Poles have already forgotten what his rule looked like in the sphere of the public media. With his rally statements, Tusk wants to cover up the massive cuts to right-wing journalists and present himself in the best possible way. But this is a completely false creation.
