Civic Platform MPs demand explanation from the Interior Minister regarding the police entering a flat of a man who dressed a monument to the late Lech Kaczyński with a T-shirt saying "Constitution". They want to know whether, in his opinion, such reaction was adequate to his deed.
MPs from Civic Platform also want to know if the police intends to take the same measures against people who carried banners saying "White Europe" at the Independence March on 11 November 2017. Last week, a 67-year-old from Biała Podlaska (Lubelskie voivodeship) dressed a monument to Lech Kaczyński with a t-shirt saying "Constitution". He was detained by the police and charged with desecration of a monument. Furthermore the police searched his house at 6.30 a.m.
Civic Platfrom's Borys Budka said at a press conference on Tuesday that together with his colleague Andrzej Halicki, they sent a notice to Interior Minister Joachim Brudziński in which they demand "urgent explanation of the outrageous incidents" that happened in recent days.
It cannot be this way, said Budka, that "the police is helpless against hate speech, anti-Semitic and racist slogans; and at the same goes after good citizens peacefully manifesting their support for common values such as the Constitution".
The Minister of Internal Affairs and Administation Joachim Brudziński on Saturday responed via Twitter to Civic Platoform's Joanna Augustynowska: "in my opinion, the measures taken by the police weren't adequate. However, we must bear in mind that if there's no response to these pathetic "happenings" today, then tomorrow we may witness desecration of other monuments".
