The barriers are back in front of the Sejm
As you can see, there are barriers in front of the Sejm. I wanted to reassure you. They were culled in the morning and will be removed in the evening unless the situation becomes very serious
– said the head of the Chancellery of the Sejm, Jacek Cichocki, speaking to journalists. The barriers are said to have been erected before the ‘Protest of the Free Poles’, which will start before the Sejm at 4pm.
According to Cichocki, “the barriers were placed by police after assessing the risks associated with today’s demonstration.”
We all hope that the demonstrators will heed the President’s call and that the protest will be peaceful, but the risks identified by the police make us ensure the safety of the demonstrators and officers in the event that people are in the crowd who want to disrupt order. Hence this decision
– said Cichocki.
The Sejm remains open to citizens. The barriers will disappear and we will continue what Marshal Hołownia announced: developing and opening the Sejm as widely as possible, of course seeking balance with security. We had signals that there might be aggressive people, that they might appear despite the organizers of the demonstration

Hołownia gave permission for the barriers
In turn, rotation marshal Szymon Hołownia entered the first high school. B. Limanowski in Warsaw to give a “citizen lesson”. One of the participants at the meeting asked him why the barriers were again in front of the Sejm.
They got back around 5am this morning and have to be gone by 5am tomorrow morning. This is something that I would not like to see before the Sejm, but we consulted with the police and the police clearly asked for it and made it clear to us that it was a matter of the health, life and safety of officers and demonstrators . We had such a plan there and we insisted that only officers would stand there in a cordon with people in it, but the police and the capital’s police station were very adamant in their position that it could pose a threat at this time for the agents. health and life. And I do not agree to endanger the life and health of anyone – even if someone from PiS or another party shouts that Hołownia has once again raised barriers. I agreed to have them installed, it’s the police’s decision
– said Hołownia.
Hołownia said one thing and did another
According to Piotr Müller (PiS), “the very fact that barriers appear is nothing unusual in the situation of a public meeting, but it is something extraordinary that Szymon Hołownia announced and announced that such barriers will not be there.”
These barriers appear a month after Donald Tusk’s government began its rule. This shows the hypocrisy of what has been said and does not address the fact that barriers have been put up, because this so-called new quality is not a new quality at all.
– he said.
