Confederate press conference attended by Deputy Marshal of the Parliament Krzysztof Bosak and Grzegorz Płacz, 10 July 2024.
Krzysztof Bosak:
– We want to mention to the controversial point, which is possibly unspoken, scandalous, namely the agreement on safety cooperation between the Republic of Poland and Ukraine announced yesterday and previously hidden from Parliament, hidden from the National safety Council, and possibly from another constitutional authorities of the state. He will deal with a very large, twenty-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-seven-one-seven-seven-seven-seven-one-seven-seven-one-one-s-one-seven-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two- The case is controversial for respective different reasons. And I guess this cover-up is simply a thing that should at first glance everyone has doubts about what's actually going on here.
The Prime Minister at the conference, presenting it, said that these were very circumstantial commitments. If these are very circumstantial obligations, and if they concern global agreements, treaties, armed forces, the usage of them, crucial economical commitments, then Article 89 of the Constitution and the appropriate procedure are provided for in order to ratify specified agreements. Let us remind you, “The ratification by the Republic of Poland of the global agreement and its termination require prior consent in the Act, if the agreement concerns peace, alliances, political agreements or military agreements.”
For anyone who reviews this agreement announced yesterday by the Prime Minister, it is clear that it concerns alliances, political agreements and military agreements. That was the first point of Article 89. On the another hand, point 4 “significant financial burden on the state.” It is said that for 10 years the Polish State is to finance the functioning of the Ukrainian State, its armed forces, to participate not only in their training and provision, as so far, but even in the formation of Ukrainian troops in our territory. specified a thing, proclaimed and accepted without Parliament being accepted in democracy.
From my conversations and my contacts, this has besides sparked a crucial stir among people working or working in safety and defence. During fresh meetings, visits, consultations of the National Defence Commission there was no mention of the obligations contained in this agreement. The question is, how were these commitments concluded? Who truly takes it on? Who's gonna do it? This agreement, apart from the fact that it contains crucial obligations imposed on the Polish State and, in fact, almost no or any obligations imposed on the Ukrainian State, does not specify what precisely the cost forks are, who, when, how it is expected to do all this and who is liable for it.
It is on so many levels a contract of evil and unacceptable that it looks like any kind of draft, like any dirty writing that has been announced. At the same time, the Prime Minister, with his authority, as we understand, vouches for this thing! In our view, in the view of the Confederate, in the opinion of our lawyers is simply a violation of the Constitution, it the acceptance of the contract by a individual who is not authorised to do so, without appropriate constitutional authorisations and is simply a constitutional substance eligible for the Court of State.
There are many things in this agreement, ladies and gentlemen, controversial. I draw attention to the formation of the alleged Ukrainian Legion. This looks like nothing more than an effort to complement the missing Ukrainian forces in the Ukrainian state, a mobilization in Poland! Poland is not a organization to this war and should not join the war. Therefore, the current scope of engagement of armed forces and training facilities belonging to the Polish State is at most sufficient. No more! Training Ukrainian soldiers, supplying, transferring weapons, what else do we want to do as Poles? Organizing a abroad state's armed forces here is 1 step besides far. Training, transfer of experience in agreement with another NATO members, that's normal. On the another hand, the organisation of mobilization, training of equipment at the Polish cost of abroad armed forces, erstwhile Polish soldiers were robbed mostly of their equipment, equipment, erstwhile the measures that were to go to the modernization of the Polish armed forces went to various purposes related to the actions of another state, this is an unacceptable situation.
At the beginning of the Polish commitment to Ukraine, it was said that we would get a replacement of equipment from allies. It didn't happen. It hasn't happened yet! We gotta pay for everything again. And now it turns out we're going to be equipping an army of neighboring states. This is, ladies and gentlemen, incredible!
I would besides like to point out that here are commitments to support Ukraine's membership of NATO and the European Union, as a strategical interest of Poland. These are things that have never been discussed in Poland in Parliament! We had no debate where we could put our arguments on these issues. Nobody in NATO takes a state in a state of war seriously into an alliance! No 1 in the European Union seems to take seriously the fact that a country does not want to implement EU standards, and Ukraine clearly does not want and benefits from its competitive advantages in accessing the Union marketplace at the moment, without gathering EU standards on various issues.
We inactive have the value of aid from Poland to Ukraine valued at over EUR 4 billion and a commitment to further strong support for 10 years. But which money is that? How does this relate to the de facto crisis in Poland for respective years, where it inactive turns out that there is simply a deficiency of money for something? The aim is to proceed activities aimed at the anticipation of Poland capturing missiles and unmanned vessels over Ukraine. After all, specified actions can be carried out without any agreement. Why would you put that in? What is the point of this for the Polish State? We are further considering the transportation of further aircraft from Poland, Migów 29. And who will give us the planes in return? What will we defend ourselves with if Ukraine loses this war? We have military training for the Ukrainian Legion and extended cooperation of the arms industry. What is our business in letting the Ukrainian arms manufacture into our arms industry? So far in agriculture we have allowed the Ukrainian oligarchic agricultural industry, the transport sector, Ukrainian transport, and we are not doing so well, we look bad. At the moment, Ukrainian transport railways are expected to enter the tracks, while the government puts in a state akin to the bankruptcy of PKP Cargo.
This is simply a diversion against Polish economical interests! And we're going to talk about all this in an open text. For what Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced, he deserves the Court of State.
