Confederate press conference, attended by Michał Waver and Roman Fritz, on 20 May 2024.
Michał Wawer:
"The Civic Platform has a immense problem with keeping its promises, but with 1 promise there is no problem. With this promise, which was made at Campus Trzaskowski by the mouth of Sławomir Nitras, that “Catholics in Poland will be sawed!”. And Rafał Trzaskowski has just begun to movie Catholics in the Office of the Capital City of Warsaw, issuing an order that, in accordance with the rule of world-view neutrality – of course, as Rafał Trzaskowski understands it – any spiritual symbols will be banned in public space, in the space serving to service customers in the Capital City Office, as well as during events organised by the Capital City Office of Warsaw.
In whom – theoretically concerning all religions – the decree is directed, we have no doubt. due to the fact that no 1 has any uncertainty that Rafał Trzaskowski will proceed to execute against the background of the Khanukowa candle during celebrations supporting judaic tradition and religion. No 1 doubts that The money will proceed to flow to mosques and Muslim organizations operating in Warsaw. No, it's... Only a Catholic authoritative working in the Capital City Office will be prosecuted for having dared to put a tiny image with parent of God close his computerto be able to express his religion on his own authoritative desk during his work. There can be no consent of any Catholic, but of any civilized man.
Freedom of conscience, freedom of religion is something that belongs to our cultural heritage, civilization. Which is besides included in the Constitution. A Constitution which guarantees freedom of conscience and religion in Article 25 and provides that the anticipation of revealing religion may be limited only by law, only in exceptional cases. The order of Rafał Trzaskowski is not a legal form, and the rules which it introduces do not apply in any way to exceptional situations, to peculiar situations.
Therefore, the Confederation will support the efforts of all officials, any lawyers who decide to go to court and face it there.
We remind you that There are a number of ultimate Court judgments. besides those before 2015, i.e. those which theoretically the Civic Platform should recognise, respect and mention as a minute of the undisputed duration of the Polish judiciary, even before this crisis, which the Platform together with PiSem triggered. So a number of ultimate Court rulings, according to which the cross does not offend and can besides be placed in public offices, in public institutions, in public spaces.
And if there were not adequate ultimate Court rulings, is besides the resolution of the Sejm. Resolution of December 3, 2009. Voiced by the Civic Platform and its coalition Polish People's Party! In this resolution we read that the sign of the cross is not only a spiritual symbol and a sign of God's love for people, but in the public sphere it reminds us of the readiness to sacrifice for another man, expresses values that build respect for the dignity of all man and his rights, that both individuals and communities have the right to express their own spiritual and cultural identity, which is not limited to the private sphere.
Donald Tusk, the man liable for this resolutionBecause it was for his majority that this resolution passed through the Sejm, He should remember this resolution. All the more so, as he is presently trying to regulation the state utilizing parliamentary resolutions and frequently opposes that these Sejm resolutions are higher than the Constitutional Court's judgments than the laws, than even the Constitution's.
So about that electoral resolution that came out of his hand, Prime Minister Tusk should remember and call his subordinate Rafał Trzaskowski to order.
Ladies and gentlemen, the crosses have been for the last 2 1000 years, long before Trzaskowski; the crosses have survived many empires, many people far more powerful than Trzaskowski, who have tried to ban these crosses and rug them from public space. The crosses were, are, and will be long after everyone in the planet has forgotten Rafal Trzaskowski. And Rafał Trzaskowski should remember this brutal truth.
