“Why should the Institute of National Remembrance be liquidated? There was no rational justification,” said historian Piotr Gursztyn in “Salon Dziennikarski”, referring to the opposition’s announcement to liquidate the Institute of National Remembrance and other state institutions.
Plays on emotions
Piotr Gursztyn emphasized that he is one of the defenders of the Institute of National Remembrance, but he would turn the question around and ask what is the reason for liquidating this institution.
Why should the Institute of National Remembrance be liquidated? There was no rational justification. Let’s liquidate the institution for doing something wrong. What is the Institute for National Remembrance doing wrong? Not a single accusation was made. Can anyone remember a scandal or mistake even during the current presidency of Karol Nawrocki? Does decommunization bother anyone in Poland?
– Gursztyn noted.
The Institute of National Remembrance, at least during Karol Nawrocki’s time, did nothing that would justify its liquidation. In such a large institution someone could make a mistake or cause a scandal, but such stories did not exist. Even the most unfriendly media could not make a fuss about the Institute of National Remembrance
– added the historian.
Piotr Gursztyn opined that “the liquidation of the Institute of National Remembrance is the emotional bond of a certain group, but it is nonsense.”
What political gain will the liquidation of the Institute of National Remembrance bring? Then there is a huge organizational problem. It is necessary to liquidate the institution that manages state archives, searches, organizes education and scientific research – these are huge costs
– emphasized Gursztyn.
Anna Sarzyńska added that the Institute of National Remembrance is “the first successful major institution established after 1989”, and that “wasting the compromise” made during the election of the first president would mark the end of an era mean.
What does the Institute for National Remembrance do?
Antoni Trzmiel, in turn, explained what the Institute for National Remembrance does. He remembered that a mass grave of Poles had been found in Ukraine.
Who does this? IPN Search Agency. We have a lot of cemeteries that are being discovered. Stopping trials due to all people of Western civilization, due to grave, burial, cemetery, identification of victims, often Soviet – here only Moscow will benefit from the liquidation of the Institute of National Remembrance. Without the Institute of National Remembrance we would not have extensive knowledge about the activities of the Germans and the Soviets. We would just have a sugar-coated image
– noted the journalist.
Attempts to shock the imagination of Poland
According to Marek Formela, the announcement of the liquidation of the Institute of National Remembrance is “one of the emotional bonds with which the opposition tries to mask its helplessness in the face of real problems and continue the electoral games.”
The editor-in-chief of Gazeta Gdańska also referred to the words of PO MP Izabela Leszczyna, who threatened Poles with a supposedly huge hole in the state budget.
When Mrs Leszczyna talks about this, the question is why she accepts money from the Sejm if she does not know the official, publicly available data on the state of state finances. She hasn’t entered the secret chambers yet. Anyone can monitor the state’s finances. The data shows that we are overtaking Estonia and getting closer to Spain. It was an attempt to shock the imagination, to make people afraid that if changes are not made, these policies will reach the homes of Poles.
– said Marek Formela.
Antoni Trzmiel added that “the purpose of this psychological operation is to pave the way for privatization” and that the sale of state assets will be justified by the fact that there is no money, for example for 500 plus.
