MEPs: Tusk takes revenge. Our freedom is being taken away from us
The protest began with the singing of the Dąbrowski Mazurka, followed by remarks from Beata Kempa. She described Donald Tusk’s moves as acts of revenge and framed the gathering as a stand against what she called lawlessness in Poland today.
According to the speakers, a protest of this scale, decades after 1989, against political imprisonments underscores the community’s concern about the fairness of current political actions. They stressed solidarity with ministers reportedly facing oppression and imprisonment for actions against corruption, arguing that these prosecutions threaten the country’s economic foundations. The speakers insisted that the entire team surrounding Tusk was engaging in revenge and called for the release of political prisoners.
One of the MEPs emphasized the sense of urgency, describing a daily erosion of freedoms. She noted the cancellation of duties and responsibilities as a violation of dignity, urging continued effort and perseverance to defend what supporters see as essential rights.
Participants voiced slogans such as “The red crow will not defeat the eagle” and “There will be punishment for Bodnar,” reflecting the energy and sentiment of the crowd during the event.
