Unprotected and untrained
Janina Ochojska in an interview with Polsat News raised the subject of Mateusz Sitka, a Polish soldier who died on the Polish-Belarusian border.
I feel very sorry for the young soldier for losing his life. I feel sorry for his family. But he lost his life due to the fact that he was unprotected, untrained and without a bulletproof vest. There are no hords pushing our borders said the activist.
The founder of the Polish Humanitarian Action besides stressed that Poland should conduct migration policy in a little aggressive way, which would avoid the situation of mass influx of migrants. She pointed out that attempts to destabilise EU countries were made during the crisis in Usnarz erstwhile larger groups of migrants arrived by aircraft and put force on the border. However, she pointed out that this situation had rapidly changed.
Chief MON reacts
The words spoken on the air by Ochojska were rapidly responded by the Deputy Prime Minister and national defence minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. He wrote on the X portal:
Against the words of Mrs Janina Ochojski, Sergeant Mateusz Sitek was well prepared, trained and equipped. He died at the hands of 1 of the thugs who wanted to endanger our safety. They are deliberately and deliberately aggressive against which we as a state will defend.
It is worth noting at this point that PAH’s founder utilized the erstwhile authority to share akin thoughts. 1 example is the day of December 19, 2021, erstwhile Janina Ochojska referred to the coverage of Kamil Syller, an activist and a citizen of Podlasie. Syller described an incidental in which soldiers outside the restricted region were to attack 2 people from the aid network supporting migrants. According to his account, uniforms forced activists to lie on wet ground. Maciej Wąsik, then Vice-President of the Ministry of abroad Affairs, referred to Ochojska's statement:
I am convinced that Mrs Ochojska does not want any humanitarian action. She wants to hit the Law and Justice government, she's instrumental.
