The defence of the climate and environment minister Paulina Hennig-Kloski, against whom the PiS applied for a vote of distrust, was an chance not only to show the unity of the Democratic coalition again. Due to Donald Tusk's speech, she may have become a turning point in the run before the elections to the Europarliament.
Donald Tusk stated that this event could not be considered without the context of fleeing to Belarus, and thus betrayal and disclosure as a co-worker of Belarusian and most likely Russian interviews, a erstwhile justice Tomasz Szmydt.
Tomasz Szmydt was 1 of the heroes of the hatred affair. He and his then wife Emilia Szmydt “Little Emi” dealt with the glee of judges reluctant to “good change” and “reform justice” led by Zbigniew Ziobra.
According to Emilia Szmydt, Łukasz Piebiak, Deputy Minister of Justice in the Law and Justice government, brought her individual folders, confidential, compromising information, delicate data, completely private cases and simple lies about judges, and she dissolved them online.
Today, Łukasz Piebiak says that the hatred scandal “was assembled by the east services” and it was on their orders that Tomasz Szmydt was sent to the resort. Luke Piebiak as 1 of the fewer does not deny that Szmydt knew. He thinks that character traits were right to be a spy. Plus, he had debts, he liked gambling. And his Deputy Minister Piebiak urgently delegated to the KRS.
Minister Ziobro argues that Szmydta never met, Jarosław Kaczyński “has nothing to do with it” – both of them like to be amazed at why the services under Donald Tusk allowed Szmydt to escape.
And yet it was in the times of the Law and Justice, Thomas Szmydt performed crucial functions in the heart of the “good change”: he worked in the department of administrative supervision, was the manager of the legal department in the KRS office, or, in fact, neo-KRS, the chief specialist in the Department of Administrative Law and the head of the department of administrative issues, had access to information about the clause “reserved”. Under papers signed by Łukasz Piebiak, Zbigniew Ziobry and Michał Wójcik, who besides claims that Szmydta does not know and reminds that it was president Komorowski who appointed Szmydt as justice of the Administrative Court.
Yes, Tomasz Szmydt's career began in 1999, and he was appointed successively by presidents: Aleksander Kwasniewski – on the justice of the territory court in Ciechanów, Lech Kaczyński – on the justice of the territory Court in Płock, finally, in 2012, Bronisław Komorowski handed Szmydt a nomination for justice of the WSA.
When Onetu journalists exposed the hatred scandal, The Szmydt was recalled from a delegation to the KRS, an NSA disciplinary spokesperson was to initiate investigations and then disciplining. Yet, justice Szmydt shortly returned to judgment. He resigned himself while asking Belarus for political asylum.
Who's gonna win this story?
Tomasz Szmydt's career was long and fruitful. erstwhile he became an agent of abroad services – it is unknown. Anyway, the public doesn't know. Thus, it is simply a field of show for the politicians of the Law and Justice, who effort everything to decision distant from specified a disgraced figure, or even neutralize the sound of the scandal. Euro MP and candidate for Euro MP Karol Karski argued even in Facts after Facts that "it is apparent that Poland is infiltrated by the Belarusian and Russian services" – there is no wonder why there is so much noise?
A completely different maneuver was adopted by Donald Tusk, who, from the Parliamentary Court on 9 May, said out loud everything that had been whispered about for years – for Tomasz Piątek and Grzegorz Rodzikowski, trailing traces of the activities of Russian services, it must have been an evening of deep satisfaction.
Tusk recalled Cyrillic band scandal, Falenta, Russian coal, whose imports under the regulation of the Law and Justice rose to scope 13 million tonnes in 2018 (then it started to fall, in the following years it was like in 2010 and 11 or 9-8 million tonnes, but about this Prime Minister He didn't say.).
He recalled Macerewicz's activity, his suspicious colleagues, cutting out arms bids, a leak of Dworczyk's letters. He even mentioned meetings between Jarosław Kaczyński and KGB officer Anatolij Wasin (Kaczyński immediately began explaining that he was preparing a visit to Moscow by Lech Wales, gathering with Wasin for the year and a half in 89/91.
"Truths," Tusk said, as shortly as they appeared, immediately "by political will" were covered, investigations were held back. "I have learned from the heads of service that all matter, whether it afraid energy, army, security, diplomacy, visa scandal, pointed to the increasing influence of Belarusian and Russian services in your management system," Tusk said straight to the Members of the United Right. And the service “behaved under the Law and Justice as paralyzed.”
After all, the activity of the “cast” straight affected the safety of the state, due to the fact that what is different is the public provision of delicate data to people who have access to state secrets? It's revealing the weaknesses that intelligence agents can usage by blackmailing, threatening, forcing cooperation. Just as he plays at the political isolation of Poland from EU countries, quarreling with his neighbours – the enemies inactive in September 2023 were: Brussels, Berlin and even Kiev. Although Russia is at war.
Donald Tusk announced an investigation of police, services and the establishment of the Sejm committee to examine Russian influences, this time constitutional – as you remember Andrzej Duda signed unconstitutional, then withdrew, but did not withdraw, at the end of the day committee ‘lex Tusk” who was to check the ties to the Russian agent of opposition leaders, yet did not move. Now, as Tusk said, it will move, but not as a media performance, but seriously, due to the fact that there is simply a war going on just outside of the country and this substance is “deadly serious”.
Even in fresh history, specified public accusations of agenthood, of surrendering to Russian influence, of activity (conscious or not) in favour of Russia would not fall out of the mouth of democratic, responsible, serious politics. due to the fact that from PiS politicians we heard about Donald Tusk's activities for Germany or Brussels or Putin for 8 years constantly – but it is simply a different caliber and another voters. While the politicians of the Law and Justice have seemingly been able to cast unconfirmed slanders, the evidence must go for the words "payable traitors, the stony soldiers of Russia" which Tusk addressed to the United Right.
Even if the commissions are secret – I hope that even before the elections for the Europarliament – we will see more names, more pieces of the puzzle – if not, if the PiS succeeds in blurting, dissolving, denying – due to the fact that everything can turn out to be the responsibility of polarization, where the evidence does not count, only the 1 who shouts louder can win the next 10 consecutive elections.
Tusk, if he plays for his electorate, and for this populist must besides shout louder – what he just did, but must besides have evidence from which the Earth and the stools will shake.
