A day of national unity and independence in Warsaw and the day of wrath in Breslaw






Solidarity with the British people in Breslaw (Wrocław) during the March of Polish Independence, organized by radical nationalists which have friends in Britain. That valuable attitude can’t, however, substitute for a reasonable consciousness of main dangers for Poland and Europe.

As a result of the lifting of the Warsaw's Mayor ban on the independence march by the court, Polish nationalists, after tough negotiations with the government, gained at least many concessions.

The procession of inhabitants of the capital of Poland as well as guests from other parts of the country and abroad finally took place under the name of Independence March.




Some symbols of nationalist groups were also allowed.

This gave rise to the sharp criticism of the ruling party Law and Justice on the part of the so-called mainstream mass media (neoliberal running boys) in the Western countries


A bigAmerican newspaper: “But hundreds of yards behind the officials from the governing Law and Justice Party were far-right activists known for promoting racist, homophobic and supremacist slogans.”
Germanpublic television: “It was the first time that representatives of the Polish state held an Independence Day rally together with such right-wing organizations.”


An average Western countries citizen was bombarded with headlines like: Warsaw blocks far-right march. But later: Polish state leaders hold joint march with nationalists on anniversary of Independence Day. The main stream Western media are, besides, filled with such reports being indeed a lot of phoney information.




One wonders: what do the participants of the march have to say?




I do not want to strain the patience of my readers and that's why I'll limit myself to just two examples here. The first is the beautiful girl from the picture above. She told the rapporteur of the Polish Radio (Paweł Kurek, Polskie Radio 24):

 
- Tell me what do you wish for the future?


- So that all people take the slogan: God, honor, fatherland, to the heart.

 
- [...] And what is the independence?

 
- Independence means being sovereign, being fair. [...] Simply getting rid of all the issues that bind us to countries that do not allow us to show our Polish ideals.

 
A hundred-year-old war veteran:For 100 years, the Poles dreamed of the regained independence and managed to realize that dream. We were not become the seventeenth Soviet Republic, and everything indicates that we will be a sovereign Republic. The Polish Republic, which will cooperate with all the peoples of Europe, for the good of all humanity. Not only with the peoples of Europe, but of the whole world. We will not pay homage to the cosmopolitan financial oligarchy, as servants of the golden calf who wants to impose a world without any limits or borders, where peoples should be tyrannized by money. Long live the sovereign republic of all Poles!



The burning of the EU flag by Poles, Italians and Slovaks followed about the same time.




A Pakistani as well a whole Chinese group: Glad because they live and work in Poland


Of course, they spoke English:

It's definitely an amazing experience. [...] It's definitely one of the great experiences which I had so far in Poland. [...] It's a nice celebrating feeling, you know? There is a great celebration around and you can feel that high energy and it makes you feel good.”




I traveled much throughout Europe. I'm here in Poland for the first time and I knew about that great event here of the Polish people... Also because the Polish past is very alike to the past of China. So I'm very excited. To the Polish people; you have developed your country very fast. It's like more and more modern than before and it's good, it is good for us.“



Terrible and true: The PiS government is bringing immigrants from other cultures in large numbers to Poland


The Polish Government signed the Marrakesh Political Declaration on the 2nd May 2018 about „the management of migration flows in all their aspects” between West and North Africa and European Union member states. The provisions of this agreement were fiercely criticized as a total capitulation against massive immigration flows by the Government of Hungary, which rejected it as fouling up on basic needs of common people in Europe.


According to official statistics of the Republic of Poland, only in the first half of 2018, the number of foreigners with a valid residence permit increased by 230 thousand. The work permit also received over 3 thousand citizens of Bangladesh and 1.4 thousand citizens of Azerbaijan, and this speaks mockery of assurances from government officials about refusal of immigration of workforce from Muslim countries.


This simply means that this supposedly conservative government has invited Asian and African economical immigrants to Poland. It is now to be feared that the disastrous consequences of such events, which Western Europe has already felt, are also imminent in Poland. All over the world, the Polines and the Poles commemorated the century of independence. Soon the Polish people will be forced to look for security and bread all over the world, or ... Isn't that already the case?




The young people with good education are Poland's lifeblood; we have assigned them to England, Ireland and Scandinavia

 
"The opportunity to work abroad, which was achieved for young Poles", who was besides educated in this country for Polish taxpayers' money, was not a "great success", as the dominating in Poland political parties are claiming, but one of the most hopeless disasters in the painful Polish history, the impact of which the small and medium-sized cities throughout the country already feel. After the loss of one to two million of our best people, there are 122 Polish cities full of the breadlines.


According to the analyses of the Polish Academy of Sciences, almost half of the 255 medium-sized cities in Poland are threatened with marginalisation and lasting crisis. One of the residents commented on this situation: "Łuków in the Lublin Voivodeship expects the same. Nobody wants to stay here. All of them leave after graduation and return only to their parents for the most important holidays. Only people with primary and secondary education remained. It is a disaster for this city, a few years more and empty houses will stand in Łuków."




The loud march of right-wing radicals in Breslaw (Wrocław)


Jacek Międlar and Piotr Rybak - organizers of the gathering of radical nationalists declared that the March of Independent Poland, which had gone through the streets of Wroclaw on November 11, was to be judged as a great achievement of the National Radical Camp and allied political groups.


However, the former priest (Jacek Międlar) expressively condemned the incident near a pub named Barbara, when glass bottles and torches were thrown out of the crowd that fell on the counter-demonstrators (the so-called Antifa), injuring three people.


Piotr Rybak, in turn, stated that the Breslau's mayor's decision to dissolve the assembly ten minutes before his scheduled end was a vile provocation. The city president tried to ban this march, but the organizers turned to the court, which overturned the president's decision.


The protest march of the Breslaw nationalists was dissolved after the beginning of theirs leaders’ speeches on the Breslaw market square. However, the event’s organizers had no problem to complete what they had started. They continued their speeches. It's just that they started using unloved words. The police did not followed orders, the only results of which could be riots, destruction of property and unnecessary victims. It is besides a typical behavior of the Polish police in such situations.


It was, unfortunately, just a knee-jerk nationalism. The young men showed simply a kind of reflex action as their response to the large-scale and well-prepared plan to get rid of them as an independent political factor.


They don´t even try to find some suitable answers on the threats that can seal the fate of Poland, They just don't notice most of the threats! I heard the speeches from the tribune on the market square of Breslaw (Wrocław) heedfully. Only the opposition to the European Commission's policy can be considered reasonable. Otherwise, the walls of Breslaw (Wrocław), heard only such slogans as: "We do not want a sickle or a hammer! The red scum will have to pay!" Perhaps it should be translated in English that way: “Use a sickle, use a hammer, smash the Red rabble. Or: “We don't want communism! We do not want this anymore! We want return Vilnius and Lvov to Poland!. All these few hours afternoon and evening only such slogans and speeches.


If even, as the organizers of the march claim, about 50 thousand people gathered on the demonstration (250 tousands in Warsaw), they made in the end only a lot of noise and successfully discouraged the community at large, and especially the middle class once again. It is not surprising that a fairly strong group of national-minded Polish intellectuals, with historian Jan Engelgard at the top are not at all in favor of such a nationalism.


In my personal opinion the national radicals got their priorities wrong, perhaps except for protest movement against the EU, also some new international contacts. But they are still in desperate need for more proper and substantial mottos and methods if Poland shall be saved.
