The head of the Ministry of National Defense ruled that Tuesday’s parade showed that the Polish army is getting stronger every year. The process of strengthening the army, he continued, began when Law and Justice took power when Andrzej Duda became president.
We changed the previous policy, which was to liquidate units of the Polish army, especially in the east of our country. The worst was 2011, when the 1st Warsaw Mechanized Division was named Tadeusz Kościuszko, through a brigade in Lublin, a regiment in Suwałki, a battalion in Siedlce
said the minister.
The head of the Ministry of National Defense, referring to one of the proposed referendum questions: “Do you support the removal of the barrier on the border between the Republic of Poland and the Republic of Belarus?” – he said it was about “expressing the opinion of the people”.
The opposition criticized the government for building a barrier on the border with Belarus. Soldiers were attacked by various celebrities and circles associated with the opposition
he pointed it out.
Anti-democratic action
When asked about the vote to boycott the referendum, the head of the Ministry of National Defense ruled that this was an anti-democratic move.
As a Democrat, how can you convince people not to give their opinion on extremely important matters?
asked the minister.
We don’t want to live in a country torn apart by terrorist attacks. (…) We want to be hosts in our own country. PiS guarantees such a situation and that is why we asked a question about maintaining the barrier at the border with Belarus
– said the head of the Ministry of National Defense.
