Political Accountability in Poland's Security Crisis

Tragedy in Kraków. And this is the end of the myth of a safe Poland.

The end of the myth of a safe Poland. And now politicians and the elites need to be asked a question: Did you prepare our state, our country for events like this?

Because if those who are now saying things like this on television are right, uh, that this could have been expected, then it will eventually come to Poland.

Because there's a war, because these are uncertain times.

What were you doing all that time? What have you been— what have you done over the last few years?

You were fighting in a stupid, shameful, idiotic way, in a stupid way.

You committed the sin of inaction. You didn't prepare us for what's happening now, right now, for any challenges.

You didn't prepare us. To a large extent, this is your responsibility.

Exactly, because there were— there were plenty of warning signs, um, which, um, foreshadowed what happened today.

For example, Bloody Friday, the knife attacks, which were completely ignored by the state.

They were dismissed as teenage pranks under the influence of social media.

And then there was the stress, um, the pressure, and so on.

But I, uh, already knew that day that it was the beginning of, um, what was to come.

But recently, we also had bomb threats, we were told to turn off the freezers, there were some hacker attacks.

Well, basically, every day you hear about cyberattacks.

Um, and our police, uh, are standing guard at the Constitutional Tribunal, when they should be in places where residents are, where tourists are, where places are potentially at risk of a terrorist attack.

And I'll say one thing bluntly. Listen, uh, this could be the beginning, uh, of a huge wave of unrest, perhaps more terrorist attacks.

Let's hope not. But we should expect the worst.

And you politicians, as soon as tomorrow, you'll be back in those media studios.

You'll keep brawling over this nonsense.

You'll keep hurling, uh, accusations over stupid things.

You'll fight over the rule of law. Who's a paleo-judge, who's a neo-judge, and so on.

You'll keep doing all this. You'll commit another sin of omission.

You elites, who are responsible for preparing the state and society mentally and physically for things like this.

In a moment, you'll still be dealing with stupidities, focused on the short term.

When I see those little smirks, that kind of behavior even at this National Security Council, When I saw how the leading figures, our most important politicians behave in the face of the law being broken in Poland, in the face of the threat, uh, of attacks from, you know, uh,

which—Eastern, well, Eastern. And, uh, here, these kinds of things, these political games in general, these politicians' foolish antics.

And what's more, they keep dividing Poles, and putting us, uh, in a state where we feel very unsafe.

We are, we feel threatened because we have no security in the country from our politicians, or from outside. A bitter truth.

Take care, and write your comments here.
