Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz explained the case of detaining Polish soldiers. At one point, Jacek Ozdoba burst into the conference.
The scandal on the Polish-Belarusian border is not going away. Three soldiers were detained in connection with reports of the use of warning shots and possible abuse of authority. According to unofficial reports, Tomasz Janeczek, deputy prosecutor for military affairs, who was appointed to the position during Zbigniew Ziobro's times, is responsible for the entire case.
Kosiniak-Kamysz about the scandal at the border
Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz announced during a press conference that he learned about the case at the end of March. According to the head of the Ministry of National Defense, initially the situation concerned three soldiers, and then two. – In May alone, weapons were used in an emergency mode about 700 times. If any of the commanders analyzes the information later and has any doubts, he or she is also obliged to take specific actions, and that is what happened in this case – explained the minister.
The politician assured that he deeply believes in our soldiers. – Those soldiers who were detained but never arrested. There was no request for arrest from the prosecutor's office, he added.
Ozdoba invaded the Kosiniak-Kamysz conference
At one point, Jacek Ozdoba broke into the minister's conference. The MP from Sovereign Poland wanted to ask Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz questions during the time reserved for journalists. – I wanted to ask, how are you not ashamed? While a regular hybrid war is taking place behind our eastern border, our soldiers are at risk of losing their lives or health, and you don't go out and defend the Polish uniform? – asked the parliamentarian.
– I expected you to go out and talk to the Minister Prosecutor General about the order of the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Lublin, the purpose of which will be to assess the collected evidence regarding the behavior of officers towards foreigners. Do you realize that today the use of direct coercive measures and the defense of officers' lives will be burdened with the fact that you do not stand behind them? – he asked.
At the end of his statement, Jacek Ozdoba stated that Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz was responsible for what happened. – At the end of the day, you can hide behind coalition issues. Just recently you spat on the Polish uniform – he summed up.
Brawl at the conference of the head of the Ministry of National Defense
The head of the Ministry of National Defense decided to respond to the allegations. – You see the difference. I allow everyone to vote. Even those who sometimes say untruths. When we use the strong word “shame”, we also need to think about our behavior. Have you built a barrier on the border that is impassable, as you said? No, we need to strengthen it today, the minister emphasized.
Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz also mentioned that the PiS government did not change the regulations on the use of weapons, nor did it provide legal assistance to soldiers in difficult situations.
Jacek Ozdoba interrupted the deputy prime minister, stating that he “should apologize to the soldiers for the campaign, Zielona Granica, Sterczewski and Jachira.” – You may have packed your backpack, but the word “sorry” should have been uttered by the Minister of National Defense, who allowed spitting on the Polish uniform. You came up with a scenario that fits into the narrative of the Russian Federation, he mocked. – We will not pay attention to the chaos, confusion and false propaganda you are spreading – replied the minister and ended the conference.
