— We have put forward a motion for a vote of distrust against (minister for equality) Catherine Kotuli and, indeed, we will besides make a second motion for a vote of distrust against the Minister of Education Barbara Nowacka,” said Błaszczak at a press conference in front of the Sejm building on Saturday.
As the head of the PiS Club said, his group considers the words that the Minister of Education has said "to be wicked and false". “We besides believe that this fits into the false German narrative. Germany tries to escape work for the Holocaust by shifting this work to Nazis and Poles, which is simply a historical lie. We argue it,” he stressed.
“ Minister Nowack lost her qualifications to sit in the Polish government after saying those words,” said Błaszczak.
Last week, the PiS had already filed a motion for a vote of distrust with the Minister for Equality, Catherine Kotuli, in connection with the plans to introduce government on sex reconciliation.
Ministry argues that there has been a slip of the tongue
On Monday, Barbara Nowacka at the global conference “We are a memory. The teaching of past is the discipline of conversation" organized on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau said that "in the German-occupied area, Polish Nazis built camps that were labour camps and then became mass extermination camps". As the ministry explained, the minister ‘speakly misguised’.
On Tuesday morning on X Nowacka, she wrote that “it is apparent that the camps were built by Germany, and there were no Polish Nazis. And this is historical truth. I besides talked about this many times during the conference in Krakow. I apologize for the apparent slip of the tongue."
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Donald Tusk, referring to the words of the Minister, pointed out that he would not draw “some dramatic consequences due to a slip of the tongue”. He called for "to separate between what is simply a stupid case and very dangerous aspects of real policy".
