Press conference under the Ministry of Defence, attended by Members Krzysztof Bosak and Witold Tumanowicz and Krystian Kamiński, “one” of the Confederation in the elections to the EP from the Warsaw district.
We got shocking pictures from our soldiers on the border! The view of ammunition magazines taped with tape is simply a symbol of the state from the dictatorship.
The tape that was meant to prevent the failure of ammunition actually puts our defenders in danger. Soldiers are forced to... pic.twitter.com/5kddNvkaAiu
Krystian Kamiński:
– That's the image we got from the soldiers. That's how ammunition magazines are issued to them, and that's how they're to be returned to them! This is simply a dictate state, a theoretical state that measurement Donald Tusk's first rule. They truly anticipate soldiers to press magazines like that. If there's a threat, they'll take the magazine off, take the tape off, plug it back in, and just start defending themselves! This is simply a mockery of soldiers! He's mocking their safety. He's mocking the anticipation of threatening their lives.
In training it is besides said, any soldiers so heard that you can connect specified a magazine and you can usually defend yourself. Only, as it turns out, as the practice shows, 1 shot of a weapon starts to jam.
Really, what's happening in the ministry present is just mocking security, mocking soldiers. He mocks everything we believe so that soldiers can have the right opportunities to defend our borders. And soldiers send it to each other, soldiers send it to their families. It's not like you don't know that. They're truly worried about life due to the fact that it's explained to them that it's more crucial that they don't lose their ammunition from the magazine than that they can defend themselves in a life-threatening situation. And we see in fresh days what this threat looks like!
MON just explained that he knew about the situation 2 months ago and was sweeping under the carpet. And the soldiers are now officially afraid to say something, fear that the consequences will be the same as those soldiers on the border 2 months ago. That's why we gotta leave, we gotta talk about it so that it affects public opinion; influence, force on MON to change that. We gotta have safe boundaries, and to do that, soldiers can't get that. The soldiers request to be certain that the weapons they have will work immediately, will work smoothly, will work flawlessly.
Christopher Bosak:
– Let me remind you of any simple facts.
In 2021, as the full border brawl began, transforming into a crisis - as we can see, unfortunately, permanent - I publically asked questions:
– Has the media reached the weapons manual yet?
– What means of direct coercion were given to soldiers and officers?
To these questions, what are the instructions, the legal basis and the scope of the coercion measures, we have no clear answer after more than 2 years! Whether it's the Law and Justice or the Left Platform.
On the another hand, a peculiar squad of prosecutors in Siedlce was appointed to prosecute soldiers and officers who effectively defend borders, including by withdrawing illegal immigrants to the right side of the border. We pay attention to this and we paid attention to it on 24 April. We pointed out that It's a hit in the morale of soldiers..
After these events presented, whether in photographs or those about which we hear - suspension and charges against soldiers for the usage of weapons during the defence of the border – frominjured very seriously four, possibly more. We know about 4 cases of soldiers. 1 of which is inactive fighting for his life. He was transported here from the infirmary in Hajnówka after 3 operations, the failure of a very large amount of blood, now transported to the infirmary in Warsaw. That wouldn't gotta happen!
I'll stress that again. At election meetings, which we have, especially in east Poland, we are approached by both families of soldiers and soldiers in civilians as well as officers of various services, and they say: I am from the police, I am from the prison service, I am a soldier, I served on the border, helped build this barrier – do something about it. Do something about it due to the fact that We have bad conditions, we're not equipped, no 1 knows precisely what it's expected to look like.. individual take work for this!
Today's speech by the Minister of National Defence does not show that he feels liable for this situation. The defence minister de facto refused to measure the movie material he saw. That's a pledge attitude! This is not the time to send us back to the D.A.'s office, this is not the time to send us back to Minister Bodnar, who, we all know, is simply a left-wing fanatic who, if he could, would just open those borders.Oh, my God! He doesn't hide with his views and He created not a squad to prosecute illegal immigration smugglers, but a squad of prosecutors to prosecute officers and soldiers.. Sending distant at the minute with an evaluation of this film, which papers the actions of soldiers, to Minister Bodnar, is either a defector from Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamish, or even worse! That means he just agrees.
But how can we agree that the usage of a weapon, where no 1 on the another side, according to information, has been harmed, the border has been defended and We now have like bandits to treat those who thus defended the border – this is absurd.
We request that everyone who is liable at any level be resigned.
It can't be that soldiers gotta hotel to legal aid. It can't be that they're treated like bandits. It cannot be that they are prohibited from utilizing sharp ammunition, and do not seem to be forced by police. It can't be that another word is coming and the head of the BBN calls for an amendment to the rules so that the powers of the police services, which even the huntsman defender has at its disposal, are granted to the soldiers, and that's not done!
We live in a state of dictatorship. Neither the PiS nor the Platform changed it. Both of these formations advanced on the border, photographed against people in uniform and did not care about them. If the minister had spent 1 day there talking to the soldiers, this situation could have been changed by now. He has tools for this. Meanwhile, he didn't do anything. And that's why present in the Sejm we're demanding resignation, we're here. We've shown it again, if I may, I'll show you this picture: glued magazines, ammunition taped in magazines, that's a symbol of what the current Ministry of National Defence has in head for defending borders. If the heads of all liable for the practice of sealing ammunition in magazines, treating soldiers like children, recklessly, and sending them into a hybrid conflict, where they are exposed to the failure of wellness and life – if that does not change, we anticipate the resignation of everyone responsible.
Witold Tumanovich:
– It is apparent that the Polish soldier cannot be afraid to defend the Polish border. The Polish soldier must not be afraid to defend his life, his health, defend himself against the invaders who storm this border, who are a threat. As we can see, many of them are at this point vulnerable, and at this point we can inactive hear and see pictures that show that Donald Tusk is indeed a state for duct tape!
Mr. and Mrs. Donald Tusk, who glues up magazines to soldiers that fight soldiers more than invaders, this hybrid war that Lukashenko and Putin are forcing here. We are dealing with a situation where bigger criminals for Bodnar's crew, Kosiniak-Kamysz, Donald Tusk are our Polish heroes, who deserve the award. Our Polish soldiers are entitled to medals, not handcuffs.
