Their candidate will be here soon [w wyborach prezydenckich] he won’t have a chance. The snacks should realize that they are already being devoured – in silence – says Beata Kempa, MEP Beata Kempa, MEP, who is on parliamentary duty at Powstańców Square in Warsaw, in an interview with the wPolityce.pl portal.
Michał Karnowski, wPolityce.pl: Violence and lawlessness reign at the TVP headquarters in Woronicza. So does defending the TAI headquarters on Plac Powstańców Warszawy make sense?
BEATA KEMPA, MEP OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: If they do this, other independent institutions will be at risk, such as the National Bank of Poland, the Constitutional Court and the National Council for the Judiciary. They announce this madness and the pressure makes even more sense. The fact that the Public Prosecution Service has today initiated proceedings for abuse of power is of great importance. Today, the most important thing is defending the free media and demonstrating the power of democracy. And that is why we will protest as long as necessary.
We warn Poland that once lawlessness occurs, it can affect anyone and any company. But maybe that’s what they want: to intimidate Poland?
At first they introduce anarchy and then resort to violence; anarchy is supposed to legitimize violence. Violence has always been Donald Tusk’s modus operandi. We had to deal with this during his previous government. Violence was used against journalists, but also against fans and other social groups. That is why we cannot agree to it now. Donald Tusk should overcome his defeat in the 2005 presidential election against the late government. President Lech Kaczyński, because he still can’t come to terms with it. He will now do everything he can to retain power, go to the European Commission and then return as a presidential candidate. But I warn you: this is not the way, you will not conquer the world with violence and threats.
Do Tusk’s coalition partners understand that after the destruction of TVP they will become his hostages? Because he has private media behind him, they don’t do that.
By staying silent and accepting what is happening, they accept that he will soon eat them like snacks. This is his goal. By destroying TVP he wants to kill several birds with one stone, this is one of them. Their candidate will be here soon [w wyborach prezydenckich] he won’t have a chance. The hors d’oeuvres must realize that they are already being devoured – in silence.
And the purpose of the attack on the media is primarily to destroy or take over TVP?
I think primarily of destruction. It is more about allowing media that do not have Polish capital to flourish. Tusk doesn’t care about the Polish media, just like he doesn’t care about Poland.
