In the context of current events, it is worth recalling earlier statements by Donald Tusk and Simon Holownia about the presence of spiritual symbols in public places.
In the context of the present Marshal of the Sejm, his reaction to the judgement of the court in Płock of March 2021 was recalled, concerning 3 people, who spread a graphic depicting the defiled image of Our woman of Czestochowa with a halo in rainbow colours of the LGBT movement. At that time, the court acquitted the defendants, and Simon Holovnia took the decision positively. He besides pointed out that his group, Poland 2050, advocates that the insult of spiritual feelings should not be prosecuted by public prosecution and not be punishable by prison punishment. net users recalled this position by linking it with his criticism of the Confederate MP expressed on Tuesday.
In January 2020, during an interview for Onet Radio, the talker of the Sejm Simon Hołownia announced that in the event of taking office as president of Poland he would order the removal of crosses from publically available parts of the Presidential Palace. During a conversation with editor Bartosz Węgielarczyk, who asked if the Holownia said crosses should be present in schools, Holownia replied that if 1 of the parents in the school felt uncomfortable due to the presence of the cross, the majority should respect that. He explained this as an expression of a "deep knowing of democracy and community", suggesting that in specified a situation a individual should step down who does not want the presence of the cross and remove it. He argued that specified a motion would be a “greater act of faith”.
– If we have different opinions, we recognise each another as having different opinions. And even if it doesn't bother me, and if it bothers someone, sometimes I should step down. And it will be a greater act of religion and a greater act of my humanism and Christianity than this, if I someway origin him pain, sorrow or anything else-- stated the Holovnia.
Internet users besides recalled an earlier recording on which Donald Tusk, leader of the Civic Coalition, answers a question from 1 of the net users about the presence of crosses in schools.
– I don't think so. Tusk replied. – I would very much like that the place where believers can meet, pray, there are churches, not public offices or schools. The school should teach us all common respect, whether a believer or an unbeliever – he continued.
– Therefore, mostly public places, whether it be the Sejm or the school, should be free from spiritual symbolism. (...) The chance for the Polish Church, what believers want, is authenticity, authentic feeling, not [so in oryg. – ed.]... Faith, allegiance to commandments, morality... This is the space where the cross is present, not schools, offices or parliament said the politician.
In 2011, erstwhile Donald Tusk served as Prime Minister of the PO-PSL Government, the MPs of the Palikot Movement made an authoritative request to the Marshal of the Sejm to remove the cross, which was suspended at the gathering Hall in 1997. This request was supported by SLD politicians for more than 2 decades and later besides representatives of the Left. It is worth noting that the cross is besides present in the legislature Hall and elsewhere in the Sejm.
