Confederation press conference on the announcements, by any politicians, of the liquidation of the Institute of National Memory.
Bartholomew Pejo:
“Włodzimierz Czarzasty already a fewer days after the election says that the Institute of National Memory should be eliminated. Like another units, like the Central Anti-corruption Bureau. On RMF FM, among others, Mr Czarzasty made it clear that the Left would be in favour of eliminating the 2 institutions.
It is worth reminding that it was not anyone another than Włodzimierz Czarzasty who was a associate of the Socialist Union of Polish Students and a associate of the Polish United Workers' Party. He besides said, “There was communism in Poland? What was Communism like? What is this nonsense?” It is no wonder that specified an approach is not different from that of the Left, which is likely to form a government in a moment. ...
– We want to emphasise firmly that the Confederation is in favour of the Institute of National Memory inactive existing. In a somewhat different form. The Institute of National Memory should be primarily depoliticised and not engaged in politics, as it has so far looked. On the another hand, we cannot let people like Mr Czarzaste to decide whether the Institute of National Memory will be or not.
Krzysztof Tuduj:
Red spiders counterattack. That's what we're dealing with. Vladimir Czarzasty's message is very symptomatic of this environment. For that part of the political scene that has its red pedigree.
– The elimination of IPN is an attack in the Polish state's right. This is harm to the Polish state. I would like to mention the message of the president of the IPN by Karol Nawrocki:
For post-communist environments, the activities of the Institute of National Memory from the beginning were salt in the eye. The words of Włodzimierz Czarzasty fit perfectly in the expectations of the Kremlin and all those who dream of building the future on political amnesia.
– But it's not just the Black guy who picks up the thesis. besides Grzegorz Schetyna, b. president of the Civic Platform is amazed if any PO activists question the liquidation of the IPN. ...
The election run is over. The white and red flags are already off. There are already unbuttoned white and red hearts. Now we have the European Union's blue flags. And we have a counterattack of red spiders. ...
Grzegorz Braun However, he stressed that the IPN needed repair. That he needs to be repulsed. He should besides deal with specified matters as investigating the crime in Jedwabne or explaining the execution of Fr Jerzy Popiełuszko. besides specified an institution as the Roman Dmowski and Ignacy Paderewski Institute of National thought Heritage should not be liquidated. And that is besides what the “red spiders” demand.
