Protest in Radom around the detention center draws public support for Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik
In front of the detention facility in Radom, a fresh demonstration unfolded as supporters gathered to show solidarity with Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik. Barbara Kamińska, wife of the former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration, thanked those present for listening. Her words carried a personal note of gratitude, emphasizing that the encouragement offered by the crowd provided strength during challenging times.
The gathering featured Barbara Kamińska alongside Jadwiga Wiśniewska, Marek Suski, and Zbigniew Kuźmiuk, all members of PiS, as well as notable figures such as Prof. Sławomir Cenckiewicz and Krzysztof Wyszkowski. The assembly reflected a broad spectrum of political actors who stood together in support of Kamiński and his spouse, underscoring a shared sense of purpose among participants.
The day’s most meaningful moment came from a brief telephone conversation with Kamiński. The wife described a concise call that reaffirmed their commitment to showing up each day at 6 p.m. and conveyed a heartfelt message of thanks from her husband. The sentiment resonated with the crowd, who echoed their appreciation with chants of Mariusz’s name, reinforcing a mutual bond between the demonstrators and Kamiński’s family.
In return for Tusk
Barbara Kamińska referenced remarks by Prime Minister Donald Tusk about the danger of elevating a criminal to hero status. She countered with a firm stance, declaring that a hero cannot be turned into a criminal and stating that her husband is a hero. Her proclamation concluded with a call for honor and glory to those she regards as heroes, a plea that reverberated through the reviewing crowd.
During the remarks, she highlighted a contrast with situations in Belarus and Russia. She asserted that Kamiński should not be deemed a political prisoner simply because of his beliefs and commitments to Poland. The speaker stressed that the differences between neighboring countries and Poland lie not in their ideals but in the treatment of individuals who hold political views they defend.
The crowd listened as she articulated a broader perspective, arguing that while the context in Poland differs from that of Belarus or Russia, the essential argument centers on political imprisonment and the consequences of political conviction. The message underscored a belief that Kamiński’s detention is tied to his political stance and allegiance to the country, rather than any convicted wrongdoing.
