“I would like to draw attention to the importance of this event. The virtual imprisonment of the police chief – the former Minister of the Interior – and his deputy. Such things happen in banana republics,” Andrzej Rafał Potocki emphasized in “Salon Dziennikarski” on wPolsce.pl television. The columnist of the weekly magazine “Sieci” referred to the case of imprisonment of the former Minister of the Interior and his deputies – Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik, who, according to the ruling of the Supreme Court Control Chamber, have parliamentary mandates and immunity.
Solidarity with political prisoners
Jolanta Hajdasz referred to the appearance at the “Free Poland Protest” of the wives of former ministers – Roma Wąsik and Barbara Kamińska. She pointed out that the demonstrators expressed solidarity with political prisoners.
Human life will always come first and this is the duty of all of us journalists, more important than any broadcast, program or television station. Here it was necessary to immediately mention specific people and this was paramount throughout the demonstration. It was convened to defend the public media from their liquidation. But Messrs. Kamiński and Wąsik are definitely number one in this demonstration. Everyone came to express solidarity with them
– said the director of CMWP SDP.
What happened is truly a huge scandal. Mr Kamiński founded the CBA. The way the fight against corruption started in Poland back then – let’s not forget what that time was like. More often than not you had to give it to a doctor in an envelope before you could be served at the hospital. And the police? How many stories have there been about how to avoid a fine? I’m talking a bit colloquially, but the extent of corruption in offices and in different places was enormous and it was stopped
– emphasized Jolanta Hajdasz.
Actions that are unheard of in a democracy
Andrzej Rafał Potocki pointed out bluntly that what happened in the case of Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik only happened in “banana republics”, and in history it took place in the Third Reich.
I draw attention to the importance of this event. The virtual imprisonment of the police chief – the former Minister of the Interior – and his deputy. Such things have historically happened in banana republics, small Latin American countries, not to mention central and central Europe, where such events occurred only in the Third Reich, when high officials were imprisoned in concentration camps or shot on the spot .
– emphasized the publicist “Sieci”.
But even Nazi Germany had too much respect for its own law and legal system – in the sense of organization and structure – to do such “circuses” as the current government does. For a normal lawyer, with a healthy and logical mind, this is unthinkable. If the head of the Warsaw Bar Association is happy that Wąsik and Kamiński have been put in prison, lawyers – the party that defends suspects in trials – would say the last time something like this happened was in Stalinist times, when lawyers were happy that a certain Home Army member that he was going to jail
– Potocki noted.
The actions of Kamiński and Wąsik
Arkadiusz Gołębiewski, in turn, drew attention to the actions of Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik.
They knew what to expect and I think they were prepared for it. I think it was easier for Mariusz Kamiński to bear it, because Maciej, who has two school-going sons, found it difficult. You see that Roma and Maciej feel it more. This too is a family tragedy. Nevertheless, if you look at the history of Maciej Wąsik, and we know each other from the time we played football on the field as juniors, I can see how his career developed.
– said Gołębiewski.
He left his career in show business, where he runs an events and advertising company, and was invited by President Lech Kaczyński to become one of the district councilors in Warsaw. He then became famous in 2002 when he saw that irregularities were also taking place among PiS members. It was a famous recording at the time when a friend from the club came and said he expected some glorification of his work. Wąsik then recorded it. The coalition then lost its majority, but a crusade against corruption began
– he remembered.
We only talk about the CBA and do not look at the broader picture. I am glad that the website wPolityce.pl published Stanisław Żaryn’s text, which outlined the context of the land scandal. This needs to be repeated because everyone is drowning it out
– Arkadiusz Gołębiewski added.
Jolanta Hajdasz said that in her opinion “many people know both Mr. Wąsik and Mr. Kamiński from their public activities and see honest people who fight corruption and oppose evil, something that the average person cannot deal with alone.”
Our ordinary sense of justice has been very shaken in Poland. Few people dare to go to court because something has gone wrong. Times are coming back, just like in the Polish People’s Republic – when you usually have to avoid courts because you don’t know what you will encounter
– she emphasized. Arkadiusz Gołębiewski added that “the current government is guided by the goalposts, and these are games.”
We must be careful and expand the knowledge of who Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik are and what they have done. The entire community around Mariusz Kamiński was the first to stand up for the Steadfast Soldiers. The term “Cursed Soldiers” comes from the NZS community. That’s a lot of initiatives
– he pointed.
We are outraged by their behavior, not because of their merits in general, but because of one specific thing: they were pardoned in 2015. There are no legal grounds to put them in prison – without going into details. They were made political prisoners. When I looked at neo-TVP Info on the day of their arrest and the day after, really out of professional obligation, because there is no other reason to watch it, how was Mr. Kamiński described there? I noticed that they talked about him as a criminal personality because he went to reform school, without saying that it was one of the communist repressions. Ćwiąkalski discussed what awaits them in prison – what are we talking about? Shame! And it’s happening on public television
– emphasized Jolanta Hajdasz.
