Madam Marshal! advanced Seymie! We are witnessing another act of drama entitled: non-existent Polish abroad policy, copy-paste policy.
The scripts of this policy are written by others, which Mr Sikorski does not even specifically hide. We are totally dependent on the position of the United States and the European Union, and another countries, specified as Germany, Israel, Ukraine and the United Kingdom, have a large influence on our decisions. An example: as we have learned, we should not even make it clear that the State of Israel is carrying out genocide on the Palestinian people, although it is, I believe, an apparent matter.
You are stressing safety issues, so it is worth recalling your 2012 message by your president Komorowski that Poland is so safe that it can disarm and liquidate military units, and already 1.5 years later Russia occupied Crimea. This is your ability to anticipate the improvement of the situation by your left-wing political camp.
You say, "We have pre-war time." Are you seriously trying to get us into individual else's war? Why don't any of you mention peace negotiations that I hear from, for example, Donald Trump's camp, the erstwhile and possibly future president of the United States? As a typical of Polish entrepreneurs oriented towards export of Polish products, I request peace talks, not an attack on the escalation of war activities. Borders with Russia and Belarus are closed for Polish business due to sanctions, and exports to Ukraine do not be for apparent reasons.
The Minister shows us any illusion of the importance of Poland in the Weimar Triangle. No, Poland is simply a classical junior partner, the axis of the Union is and remains the axis of Berlin – Paris, even though Tusk spent all weekend in Berlin. What is worse, the format in which Poland could truly have something to say, i.e. the Visegrad Group, is gradually losing its importance due to the fact that the Polish MFA clearly differentiates between the correct attitude of Poland and the Czech Republic towards the unreasonable policy of Slovakia and Hungary. The government does not seem to accept the situation that Slovakia can simply lead a Slovak abroad policy and Hungary a pro-Hungarian policy.
The reproduction by our Ministry of abroad Affairs of the popular attitude of the Polish women, both verbal and political, to Hungary or Slovakia must rise our fierce opposition. Hungary always gives Poland peculiar respect and pointless efforts of our governments, despite specified a beautiful past and tradition, it is in rule an effort to get free of the most loyal partner of Poland, occupying in addition the key position of European geopolitics, including the end of the railway silk trail, and this is something we do not agree to. In my opinion and in the view of the Confederacy, we must reconstruct good relations in the Visegrad Group again. Thank you very much.
Mr Roman Fritz (Confederation)
