The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration is trying to transfer responsibility for the events during the farmers’ protest in Warsaw. During the press conference, he justified the actions of the police subordinate to his ministry, saying that it was hooligans who attacked the officers. At the same time, Marcin Kierwiński attacked PiS. “You can say it was a ‘wall behind the Polish uniform’, and now it is a ‘paving stone in the Polish uniform’. This is the end of PiS politicians who are directly against Polish officers today,” thundered Marcin Kierwiński.
During the press conference, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration said that we had two demonstrations in Warsaw on Wednesday that ended without incident. He added that after their dissolution, everyone could observe what happened before the Sejm. He also said that two categories of protesters should be distinguished. One of them were farmers who protested peacefully, in accordance with the rights of every citizen.

Clashes at a protest through the eyes of Kierwiński
We have also had to deal with a group of hooligans and provocateurs who have attacked the police, and there is no doubt about that. We have all seen these images when the poles holding the white and red flags were used to gouge out paving stones and the paving stones flew towards the police officers.

He estimated that these hooligans attacked the police, who responded to ensure safety.
In this case, as I said, the police are under attack by those who only a few months ago shouted “a wall behind the Polish uniform.” You could say it was a ‘wall behind the Polish uniform’, and now it is ‘a paving stone in the Polish uniform’. This is the end of PiS politicians who today directly oppose Polish officers who also defended their security
– he declared.
According to preliminary analyzes of what was done by the police headquarters, the police headquarters, the police operation was carried out in a factual, substantive manner.

“The means of direct coercion were adequate”
Czesław Mroczek, the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration, who accompanied Kierwiński, stated, among other things, that the police cared about the safety of the demonstrators and the safety of the people staying there.
According to him, the farmers’ demands faded into the background due to the behavior of people who knowingly violated the rules of public gatherings and attacked the officer.
He added that the detainees will provide explanations.
In the coming hours we will get an increasingly complete picture of this behavior. The statements of these people themselves shed clear light on who took the aggressive actions
– said Mroczek.
Police action took place on the basis of the law and within the limits of the law. The direct coercive measures used were adequate
– he said.
