On the Sunday program “Rymanowski’s Breakfast” in Polsat NEWS there was a heated discussion about the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the massacre in Volhynia. Politicians present in the studio said, among other things: about the participation of the presidents of Poland and Ukraine in the Holy Mass in Lutsk, in which Andrzej Duda and Volodymyr Zelensky paid tribute to the innocent victims of Volhynia.
The dispute over Volhynia
These are not gestures, these are concrete actions by President Zelensky
– said Paweł Szrot from the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland.
According to Confederation representative Krzysztof Bosak, “talking about a special commemoration is misleading to public opinion.” According to him, the reports show that “the president participates in a holy mass organized to commemorate the victims, and in no case organized by him or President Zelensky.” Bosak stressed that Poland needs specific political decisions regarding the Volhynian massacre, i.e. opening up the excavation site.
To say it is a success is a complete misunderstanding
– he said.

PSL politician Dariusz Klimczak, in turn, stressed that “no gesture can replace specific political decisions”.
We need an exhumation, a dignified burial of the victims and conviction of the perpetrators
– he said, adding that “after the events in Bucza, all Poland says there was genocide, why can’t the Ukrainian side say that the events in Volhynia were also genocide?”
In turn, Radosław Fogiel of Law and Justice accused the Confederacy of “playing politics in memory of the victims” of Volhynia. Bosak responded to these words.
You are pathetic, Mr. Fogiel
Confederate politician replied.

Grzegorz Schetyna, the former Civic Platform president, also demanded details of the massacre in Volhynia.
I want President Zelensky’s speech and the next decisions of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance, which will allow the exhumation
– he said.
Fogiel responded to these comments.
To be clear, no one in Poland is claiming that this is enough. No one argues that Polish victims do not deserve to be remembered, that exhumations and burials are unnecessary. We all agree on that, but I am ashamed to hear what you say, because in the context of Volhynia it has the nature of corpse desecration.
– he said, adding that the opposition uses the memory of the victims “to find a stick to attack the government”.
You better call it off because you went a little overboard
said Klimczak indignantly.
Gentlemen, stop playing this tragedy for political ends
replied the PiS MP.
You lack competence, you should be immediately dismissed from the position of Chairman of the Sejm Foreign Affairs Committee
Klimczak replied.
The Lord is mindless to the core
– added.
You have no right to say that to MP Klimczak
– posted Włodzimierz Czarzasty, the leader of the left.
Schetyna ruled that there is no better time “than these last months to close this case”.
This is the last time. I respect gestures, but they can’t be empty
he noticed.

Fogel’s word manipulation
After the program, recordings appeared on Twitter in which Radosław Fogel’s words were manipulated. The PiS deputy, responding to them, stressed that the statement that he criticizes the excavations is a “brazen lie”.
The statement that I am criticizing the excavations is a blatant lie spread by profiles sympathetic to the Confederacy, using a manipulated recording
– He wrote.
