After the Smolensk disaster, Tusk did everything he could to prevent us from learning the truth about its causes. Now he is condoning the actions of Smolensk liars and fighters who are desecrating the memory of the deceased president. In the latest issue of “Sieci”, Marek Pyza explains why Donald Tusk is so interested in destroying not only PiS, but also the memory of Lech Kaczyński. Articles from the current issue are available as part of the Network of Friends subscription: https://wpolityce.pl/tygodniksieci/wydanie-biezace.
“People of Moscow in Warsaw”
Fourteen years have passed since the death of President Lech Kaczyński, but still at the Smolensk monument on the square. Piłsudski’s memory is insulted. As Marek Pyza writes in the article “Moscow People in Warsaw”:
Russian lies about the causes of this tragedy are still being repeated. Exactly the same ones that were produced in Moscow and later happily poured into the heads of the Poles. This time, however, it happens with the full consent of Donald Tusk. Without this, it would not be possible to invite the street fighter who provokes Jarosław Kaczyński every month, when he remembers his brother and the friends he lost in Smolensk, to a journalistic conversation about the criminally taken over people (with the participation of the Russian lover of a spy) TVP.
The journalist emphasizes that Donald Tusk is responsible for courageously promoting the Smolensk lie in this area of society. It gives permission for the hateful activities of figures like Arkadiusz Szczurek. To better understand the attitude of the current head of government, we need to go back to 2005, when he lost to Lech Kaczyński, when he lost the parliamentary elections and torpedoed the coalition talks between PO and PiS.
Tusk’s double defeat, especially the personal one, left a lasting impression on him. This is one of the reasons for such unscrupulous treatment of Lech Kaczyński during his presidency. Taking away his plane so that he would “not disturb” the prime minister during the Brussels summit was just one step on the escalating ladder of devaluation of the first citizen. Its climax was the conspiracy with Putin to exclude the head of state from the Katyn celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of the NKVD genocide against Polish officers. It worked out all too well, because at the express request of the Russians the anniversary visits were separated, and three days after the Katyn meeting between Tusk and Putin Lech Kaczyński stopped disturbing everyone.
– writes Pyza.
‘There is always a shortage of money under the PO government’
Mariusz Błaszczak, former Minister of National Defense, comments on the state of the Polish army in a conversation with Piotr Gursztyn (“There is always no money under the PO government.”) He notes, among other things, that the constant audits and inspections at the Ministry of Defense are very disturbing, the purpose of which is not to modernize the army and increase state security, but to political retaliation. He also negatively assesses Donald Tusk’s statement about Poland’s accession to the German European Sky Shield initiative.
This is a very recent initiative of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, proposed in August 2022. It assumes coordination of the purchase of military equipment for anti-aircraft and missile defense. However, so far I do not see that this idea, despite numerous public statements, has translated into concrete actions and therefore into measurable benefits for Poland. Moreover, we cannot afford two such costly initiatives. After all, it is better to have such a system in our own hands and not always ask others to take care of your security. And we are much further ahead in building the anti-aircraft and air defense system than Germany and other European countries. The breakthrough came when in 2018 I signed a contract with the USA for the first stage of the Vistula system, i.e. the first Patriot batteries and ammunition. This is a symbolic beginning of the construction of the Polish integrated anti-aircraft and missile defense system in all its layers (Visla, Pilica, Narew)
– explains Mariusz Błaszczak.
“Communist monuments – for how long?”
Stanisław Płużański in the article “Communist monuments – how much longer?” writes that despite the so-called decommunization law, which prohibits the spread of communism or any other totalitarian system, the remains of this former criminal system are still present in the public space. The process of their liquidation accelerated after the Russian aggression against Ukraine. However, not everywhere. The journalist points out that the decommunization process is met with resistance from some local governments. The best example is Rzeszów and the Revolutionary Struggle Monument. It stands on land that was returned to its original owners, the Bernardine Monastery.
This was opposed by the Rzeszów authorities, who tried to get the monument back and block possible demolition plans. According to them, the monument lost its communist character long ago and has been a showcase of the city for years. […] In June it turned out that the Podkarpackie Provincial Monuments Conservator, at the request of the Rzeszów Sole Proprietorship, had initiated a procedure to have the facility entered into the Register of Monuments. On August 8 it was announced that the Monument to the Revolutionary Struggle had been entered into the Register of Monumental Sculpture
– writes Płużański, noting that this makes further attempts to liquidate the facility impossible. In the same way, the demolition of the notorious monument to communism, the Monument of Gratitude to the Red Army, in Olsztyn was blocked.
