In a televised interview, Jan Tomaszewski, a Senate candidate on the Law and Justice list and a former star and coach of Poland’s national football team, addressed the migration pact and its potential impact on national security. He argued that allowing large numbers of migrants could create a climate of fear, comparing the situation to experiences in several other European countries. He described how, if the pact were accepted, ordinary people might feel unsafe to leave their homes. He noted that, at the moment, Poles feel secure, a point he connected to the government’s perceived handling of the issue.

AZ Alkmaar should have already been expelled from the competition.

The host pressed Tomaszewski for his assessment of the events in Alkmaar. He criticized what he saw as heavy-handed interference by officials and security personnel, calling the actions a scandal and a dangerous precedent. He described the incident as a confrontation that involved a bus and guards, questioning the involvement and behavior of police. He insisted that the club should face consequences for the disruption.

The editor of wPolsce.pl then asked for his view on the response from Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and the Polish government. Whether the authorities acted appropriately was part of the discussion, according to the interviewer.

He emphasized the continuity of government policy, arguing that the country has enjoyed a period of stability. He asked the reader to reflect on whether life had been so comfortable since the end of the war and praised the government for the way it conducts itself in this area.

If you let them in, we will be afraid.

The wPolsce.pl journalist also asked Tomaszewski for his view on the prime minister’s decision to veto provisions of the EU migration summit, particularly those related to relocating refugees. He described a migration pact with forced relocation as a problem and framed the veto as a protective measure for Poland. He argued that allowing the pact could spark fear in citizens, citing how people in several European nations might respond to greater immigrant inflows. He stressed that Poles currently feel safe and that this safety matters in national decision-making.

When the editor inquired about a possible referendum, Tomaszewski stated clearly that a referendum is needed and urged broad participation. He suggested that other countries, including France, might also consider a similar referendum in the near future.

In a personal note, Tomaszewski revealed his intent to join the Law and Justice party. He described the move as a meaningful step, both as a personal milestone and as a sign of his commitment to Poland. He expressed gratitude toward the people who he believes have helped shape Poland into a fair and normal country over the past eight years.
