During the activities on behalf of the State Protection Service, a border guard actually identified a locator in a vehicle that did not belong to the SOP. It was used in VIP columns, Jacek Siewiera, head of the National Security Bureau, said on TVN24 on Thursday.
The head of the National Security Agency asked whether it is already known who placed the GPS locator in the presidential car, which was detected at Katowice airport by the Border Guard, and not by the State Protection Service, replied: “It is not true. “
A border guard, during the activities ordered by the State Protection Service, during an operation carried out by the SOP, actually identified a locator in a vehicle that did not belong to the State Protection Service. It was indeed used in VIP columns
– said Siewiera.
He clarified that the tracker was “on the bus, but not on the president’s bus.”
He also drew attention to the fact that in the past two years, under its current leadership, the State Protection Service has carried out more than 600 protection operations, including several dozen visits of Polish delegations to the war-torn country, at a time when we had not only to do with sabotage by groups, but also with open confrontation using artillery. Let us recall that the SOP, together with the military unit of GROM, secured the visit to Kiev at a time when the troops of the Russian Federation were close. Kiev and conducting armed operations.
And during this perspective of several hundred protective operations that were carried out (…) no one was killed, and this was a real scenario, no one was injured, there was never any direct exposure during a confrontation in a firefight, the locator in all this is only a small means to achieve some goals. If anyone planted it there, his intention was exemplarily foiled
– said Siewiera.
According to the tvn24.pl portal, in the summer of this year, agents of the State Protection Service found a tracker in a car of the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland. During a routine inspection, the authors of the article added that the device allows you to monitor the position of the car in real time. The portal noted that President Andrzej Duda did not travel in the car with the tracker underneath, which does not mean he could not possibly travel in it. The discovery was made by SOP pyrotechnicians who, in accordance with procedures, checked cars intended to be part of the presidential motorcade for explosives placed under the car. Then they discovered an attached locator – the tvn24.pl portal reported.
Meeting of the head of the National Security Bureau with representatives of the groups
In recent days, at the request of the president, I have held meetings at the National Security Bureau with representatives of virtually all major groups engaged in broadly understood defense, Jacek Siewiera, head of the National Security Bureau, said on TVN24 on Thursday.
The head of the National Security Bureau emphasized on TVN24 that the president “believes in good cooperation in the field of security with every government representative who will be appointed, regardless of its composition and majority in the Sejm.”
It is worth mentioning that in recent days, at the request of the President, I have held meetings at the National Security Bureau with representatives of virtually all major groups concerned with defense broadly conceived, not only military, but also defense and security, conceived as the state’s immunity system. Without cameras, for an in-depth conversation about possible collaboration in this area
– said Siewiera.
He noted that “the president attaches great importance to it.” When asked what came out of these meetings, he replied:
First, the areas of state responsibility that the President is particularly interested in and that the President will not relinquish in the face of the threats we face on the eastern border have been highlighted, and the picture looks very bleak. .
Siewier was also asked whether Poland could afford an army of 300,000 men. soldiers and whether this is the army Poland should have.
This is the size of the army, which is certainly achievable, it is an ambitious goal, but achievable, also in demographic aspect. Polish history shows that such numbers of armed forces are possible
– he assessed.
