During a protest in front of the Polish parliament, Jarosław Kaczyński, leader of the conservative Law and Justice (PiS), delivered a fiery speech accusing the government of Donald Tusk of orchestrating a plan that ultimately aims to dismantle the Polish state.
Kaczyński claimed: “The plan for which Tusk was sent here is fundamentally about the liquidation of the Polish state.”
Speaking at the event, titled “Against the violation of the rule of law in Poland,” Kaczyński described the current situation in Poland as disastrous. He asserted that the actions of Tusk and his left-liberal government, especially observable during the pre-election period, were predictably detrimental to the country’s rule of law.
“It was clear to see that the rule of law in Poland would be in dire straits,” he said.
Kaczyński argued that the government’s strategy includes two main objectives: to distract from the escalating difficulties of everyday life and to pacify society. He alleged that Tusk returned to office with a specific mission to execute this plan.
“This is not in the sense that Poland will disappear off the map or that there will be no Polish state institutions, but all significant decisions will be made externally,” he explained, suggesting that Poland might end up as a territory inhabited by Poles but managed from abroad.
The PiS leader also commented on what he called a “siege on Poland,” a figurative invasion through non-military means, manifested in control over media, prosecution services, and political repression.
He urged Poles to mobilize, particularly in safeguarding elections, highlighting the capability of the current government to commit election fraud.
Kaczyński dedicated a portion of his speech to the arrest of Father Michał Olszewski, head of the Profeto Foundation, whose treatment by the police has stirred controversy and been labeled as torture by human rights definitions.
“We have nothing against an investigation, but we are opposed to torture. This crosses a certain line. It is banditry,” Kaczyński concluded.
