There was a parliamentary intervention concerning the Ministry of the Interior and Administrative Affairs. Deputy Minister Szczepański, who is not directly responsible for police oversight, met with the delegation and engaged in a lengthy discussion that, in the speakers’ view, pointed to a provocation organized by the government, according to PiS MP Przemysław Czarnek.
proponents noted that, during the Law and Justice era, it was not customary to prepare large piles of paving stones on Sejm grounds near police vehicles for someone to throw. This, they implied, was not a practice associated with the party in power at the time.
– this was highlighted by Przemysław Czarnek.
During today’s parliamentary session, a question was put to a representative from the Ministry of the Interior and Administrative Affairs. However, the deputy minister present did not supervise the police and services, and other ministers were absent for the meeting, despite invitations extended to individuals with comprehensive knowledge of the situation, according to Ewa Leniart, a PiS MP.
The questions focused on who coordinated the preparations for hosting the protesting farmers and who ensured the security for a protest that attracted thousands and occurred within the law. The ministers were also unable to confirm whether participants were injured by police actions, whether any were still hospitalized, or what their current condition might be.
– she added.
After the discussion, one clear picture emerged: a person who appeared to lack any knowledge of the situation had become the target of the parliamentary probe. The implication was that someone was claimed to know nothing, which was characterized as a political tactic where, in urgent moments, the Civic Platform sends someone else to respond to questions that fall outside their political role. The conclusion drawn was that no definitive information surfaced.
– emphasized Piotr Kaleta, PiS MP.
“The provocation was of a political nature”
The speakers asserted that the events surrounding yesterday’s protests carried political significance and that the provocation was framed as a police responsibility. They stressed support for the Polish uniform and for police officers who had faced criticism from the government, and they argued against using officers as instruments in political theater. Plans were announced to push for an urgent meeting of the Committee on the Interior and Administration to examine the matter further, with the participation of committee members and representatives from their group, to establish a clear point of reference for comparison.
– announced.
The intervention suggested that the current government aimed to intensify conflicts. It referenced an attempted disturbance and noted that paving stones placed on Wiejska Street had been used to fuel unrest. A week earlier, videos circulated on social media showing objects scattered on lawns during a peaceful farmers’ march. The speakers claimed that such incidents echoed clashes from 2015, when independence marches were reportedly infiltrated by provocateurs who were inspired by the police, and warned that similar scenarios could unfold again. Each new video depicting aggression was to be examined in detail.
– stated Anna Kwiecień, PiS MP.
One key moment from the session was captured on video, showing how those tasked with managing the Ministry of the Interior and Administrative Affairs monitored events on Wiejska Street. The footage purportedly showed protesters being overwhelmed, with a flag-bearing individual toppled and restrained as if confronted with obstacles prepared by Hołownia’s team for the parliamentary reception. A question was raised about whether the ministry had contacted its headquarters or the main command to inquire about ongoing actions, but the response was silence, described as an admission of guilt and a signal of centralized control from the ministry. The events, including the clashes and a large pile of paving stones beside police cars, were presented as attempts to label farmers as aggressors. The speakers concluded by affirming strong support for farmers and Polish citizens who stand up for their country.
– summarized Przemysław Czarnek.
