It's a bill whose intent is to gag your mouth

Member Witold Tumanowicz at the Confederate press conference, 18 December 2024.

– Who wouldn't want to fight hate? It is apparent that everyone would like to, but the fact is that under this very coat, under this slogan we are dealing with a situation of simply ideological war.

Various ideological novelisms associated with a fresh sex interpretation, a fresh household interpretation, a fresh explanation of all kinds of things, a left-wing ideology, are to be introduced as those that will be protected from being criticized. That's what it looks like.

This bill, which we will now proceed to, will defend those who want to introduce us to abnormality, want to overthrow the full public order in general. Different kinds of statements, specified as that the relation between a female and a man is the only relation that can be called marriage; that there are only and only 2 sexes, and many another things will be treated as just hatred speech. We must absolutely argue it.

There will most likely be voices in Parliament now saying that we are imagining that we are over-interpreting this full issue, but that is not true.

We know precisely where it leads, due to the fact that we see what is happening in the West. We see precisely what Mr Pejo said: in the West, priests are put in prison for quoting the Bible! For quoting the Bible, only and only. There is no question about them saying something truly hateful – they simply quote the Bible, they are just rational. And that's what happens to the repression of the state. We can't let that happen.

We cannot let people who have rational views to gag their lips in Poland. Rational, not extreme! Rational. This is what we will be doing in the Sejm tomorrow, and I hope that there will not be a majority, however, to carry out specified an highly grumpy bill through the Polish Parliament, which will origin specified a statement, for example, that there are 2 sexes, or that the relation between a female and a man is the only relation that deserves to be called a matrimony – that specified statements are not treated as hatred speech. And tomorrow, I hope we can talk about this from the platform, of course, but this full bill is just gonna end up in a dumpster.

I besides appeal to Members of the Polish People's Party, who besides have quite a few support in the countryside, people who know very well what normality looks like. I hope that they will not support this law, that, according to this ideological hardening of the left, we will not lead to a situation in which telling average truths and normality will be punished. As a Confederate, we do not agree to gag Polish people.
