Minister of Culture and National Heritage Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz announced yesterday that he had decided to appoint, among others, Prof. Jan Żaryn as director of the Institute for the Heritage of National Thought. “It was a real money pump for PiS supporters,” Sienkiewicz said of the Institute’s activities. And what did the financing of organizations/initiatives from the IDMN Patriotic Fund actually look like? The wPolityce.pl portal has collected data on this topic.
I do not agree with public money financing ultra-nationalist, ultra-Catholic, extreme organizations such as the Independence March Association, the National Guard, Młodzież Wszechpolska or the Witaszek Family Foundation – millionaires and sponsors of the ultra-Catholic university Ordo Iuris. During the three years of IDMN’s existence, more than PLN 70 million was spent on nationalist, ultra-right and ultra-Catholic organizations. Including PLN 40 million for the purchase of real estate. It was a real money pump for PiS supporters
