“I also hope that you will forgive me for my past mistakes, in my political youth,” Roman Giertych said in an appeal published on YouTube.
The patron and former leader of the League of Polish Family announced that he would run for Senate in the upcoming elections.
I have decided that I will stand as a candidate in the upcoming elections to the Senate of the Republic of Poland for the Poznań poviat district. (…) This is the place where I lived half my life. I finished primary and secondary school there. I’m going home too. I go home, where my father is waiting for me. He is over 87 years old. Where my friends wait, where are the graves of my ancestors
says Giertych.
I count and ask my neighbors, friends and all residents of this poviat to support me in this election. Why did I decide to come back after sixteen years away from politics? You just have to open the TV, go from the store to the health center, see what is happening in our country, and you will understand my motivation. My wife says I’m a little crazy, that it’s crazy to return to public service after so many years. But I don’t think he’s right. If we can’t devote some of our time to public affairs, Poland will be run by PiS idiots and scammers. I would like to point out that I intend to continue to run the office, I will not be a professional senator. I won’t cost you anything if I win. I will operate from an independent committee. I hope that with the support of the opposition parties, but from an independent committee. That’s how I feel most comfortable

Youth mistakes
Referring to his political past, Giertych appeals to potential voters to forgive him for the mistakes of his “political youth”.
I also hope that you will forgive me for my past mistakes, in my political youth. I think I’ve performed since 2007 and proved that I can fight for certain things. I think I was the first to realize in which direction Jarosław Kaczyński was heading. It was I who told Lepper that Kaczyński wanted to introduce a de facto dictatorship. Because he told me, because he de facto considers me a cynic like Ziobro these days. He told me about his plans to take over the Constitutional Tribunal. Yes, yes, in 2007 he was already inventing. The press, the courts, it’s all already planned. When I heard it, I was shocked. Even though my views at the time were much more nationalistic than his. In this regard, I have changed my view of the world. I’ve always been a Democrat. I thought creating an authoritarian state was one big mistake
says Giertych.
Then the lawyer convinces Jarosław Kaczyński to make Poland … Belarus.
Now it goes to the central fault. There is nowhere for either side to retreat. Either we beat Kaczyński or he turns us into Belarus. Please note that this is not what this election is about… the game is about some personal aspirations of individual people, some interests, some cabinet games. This is about the essence of Polish democracy. If Kaczyński stays in power after these elections, there will be no Polish democracy. There will be no free Polish media, no free court. The opposition will be treated even worse than it is now. Much worse. The fact that not everyone is still sitting is due to the fact that they have not managed to take over the courts to the end. And I say this as someone who was illegally handcuffed and freed from suspicion and accusation by the courts in Poznań, Lublin and Warsaw. If there were no courts, I could write protests from the detention center
– says Roman Giertych.
I deeply believe that the Poles will show PiS a red card, that the opposition will win in this election, I think I will work hard for it
he convinces.
As you can see, Roman Giertych’s return to active politics is linked to what he has been doing for years – attacking Jarosław Kaczyński.
