Mateusz Morawiecki published in late August a movie praising safe Poland without migratory riots, but utilized staff recorded Sahar, an Iranian female surviving in our country for 11 years. The dispute shows an crucial difference: the state must block uncontrolled migration, but cannot pretend that there are no legally surviving and integrated foreigners in Poland.
Polonaise in front of the Palace of Culture
Sahar released on 22 August a recording of young people dancing polonaza in front of the Palace of Culture and discipline in Warsaw. The movie was to show her the delight of Polish tradition. A fewer days later, the staff were included in Matthew Morawiecki's material on safety and migration.
The erstwhile Prime Minister spoke English that there is no chaos in Poland, people can leave safely at night and our country should not repeat the mistakes of France and Germany. The direction of this diagnosis is correct. Border protection and dispute over migration policy concern the real safety of Poles, not abstract passwords.
The problem came where the political shortcut replaced precision. The movie about Poland without migrants was illustrated with migrant material. Sahar arrived from Iran 11 years ago, lives in Poland and publically respects Polish culture. This fact cannot be removed with a convenient slogan.
The usage of material is besides important. The recording of a peculiar individual was included in the political message without showing who the author was and what the intent of its publication was. A politician may give images his own comment, but the recipient has the right to know the context, especially erstwhile this context undermines the literal wording of the slogan.
The author of the movie responds
In an interview with Onet Sahar, she explained that her recording was made outside politics and was utilized in a different context. She was most affected not by the omission of the signature, but by the inclusion of the movie in a message that made her feel excluded from a society that she believed to be part of.
Its consequence besides contains a crucial distinction. A foreigner who comes legally, learns language, works and respects local customs is not the same as mass migration outside the control of the state. National realism requires that these 2 situations be called separately. Otherwise, honest defence of borders turns into a message that is easy undermined by 1 staff.
Security needs precision
Poland has the right to decide who it allows, on what terms and for how long. He is besides obliged to remove persons who break the law and have no reason to reside. Discussion on State deportations and effectiveness cannot be held hostage by political correctness.
At the same time, a conservative migration policy is not about denying reality. Foreigners live in Poland. any of them actually affect life, respect the law and adopt Polish social standards. The State should separate integration from the creation of parallel communities, and a legal stay from pushing the border.
Morawiecki's accident does not invalidate criticism of western politics of open doors. However, it shows that a strong message must withstand confrontation with facts. safety is at stake for Poles without abandoning justice and common sense. The boundaries are to be sealed, the law enforced, and the words of politicians precise.
