“It was turned into a powerful weapon to fight Law and Justice, the Polish services. A large-scale surveillance in our country was proposed to create such a false belief among our citizens that any of us could be under surveillance,” PiS politician Mariusz Kamiński emphasized in an interview with Telewizja wPolska.
Constant manipulation
Mariusz Kamiński, MP for Law and Justice, asked about the scale of the disruptions regarding Pegasus and said that “it is enormous”.
This is what the Civic Platform and the media that support it, such as TVN or “Gazeta Wyborcza”, do. This is an attempt to create hysteria around something related to the security of our country, namely the use of programs by Polish services, the legal use of programs related to the decryption of instant messengers. In situations justified by the suspicion of the commission of a crime by a person who is being investigated by the services. This was turned into a powerful weapon to fight Law and Justice and the Polish services. Mass surveillance was proposed in our country to create such a false belief among our citizens that each of us could be under surveillance, and that each of us would be watched in bed by Pegasus with a camera. These are incredible things. Furthermore, constant manipulation of names. Based on such political provocations, the names of various politicians are being put forward, quite consciously, as alleged victims of illegal activities related to Pegasus
– Kamiński emphasized in an interview with Telewizja wPoland.

Siemoniak hides himself in secret
As the politician noted: “Tomasz Siemoniak, as coordinator of the secret services, has access to this knowledge and can deny any untrue, false information that actually polarizes the Polish political scene.”
But he doesn’t. He doesn’t do it very consciously. When journalists ask about the case, he hides it as a state secret. It is not a state secret that false information appears in the public space
– he said.

Citizen Lab Scale
Kamiński also referred to the claims of the Citizen Lab group, operating at the University of Toronto, according to which the Pegasus software, among other things, was used to monitor Poland. lawyer Roman Giertych, prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek and KO senator Krzysztof Brejza, as well as the leader of AgroUnia Michał Kołodziejczak.
In my opinion, this is a shell that is actually sponsored by very large telecommunications companies, such as Apple, who directly provide technological, technical and financial support. These are companies that are competing with NSO, which provides state services with this software, because it harms the interests of Apple, for example. Powerful tech companies that advertise their products as completely safe and secure, no one can eavesdrop on them, etc.
– said Kaminski.
I understand that when it comes to illegal hacking activities, this is beneficial to citizens, but there are also important interests of state security and all over the world, state services ensure that in situations where criminals use decryptors, the services can legally collect evidence in cases of very serious crimes. Just like it was in our country. Each time there was permission from the Public Prosecution Service and the court to use this software, and each time it involved very serious crimes, either of a criminal nature or of a counterintelligence nature.
– emphasized Mariusz Kamiński.
