The politicians were the guests of the Saturday show “Where is Mr. Cogito?” in the first Polish radio program, where they talked about will of President Lech Kaczynski on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of his taking office as mayor of Warsaw, which falls this year.

During the broadcast, the famous words of Lech Kaczyński were recalled: Today Georgia, tomorrow Ukraine, and later the Baltic States, and later maybe it will be time for my country, Poland.

Modern events prove practically every day that The CH Kaczyński was right that he correctly predicted the future, he correctly predicted the dangers looming in that future, he had accurate diagnoses of how to react to those dangers – said Deputy Prime Minister Sasin.

“Putin managed to deceive world leaders”

He pointed out that Cheese fries “we managed to deceive the vast majority of world and European leaders into believing that Russia is a normal democratic state, Putin is a normal democratic leader like those who are elected in the United States, in Western European countries .” In fact, one of the few, or perhaps the only politician at this point, who was not deceived by Putin, at any time and at any time, was precisely President Lech Kaczynsky. He wasn’t wrong, but he wasn’t afraid to speak out loud either. – added.

sasin reminded Party anniversary of the outbreak of World War II at Westerplatte in 2009, in which he participated, among others. Cheese fries. It is very difficult to say very nasty things to the head of a foreign state at a ceremony while he is listening. At that time, President Lech Kaczyński did not hesitate to stigmatize Putin’s imperial policy, saying that it was precisely this type of action that led to World War II. – noted the Deputy Prime Minister.

He added that what Putin did in Georgia and tried to do in other countries where people died was an attempt to implement his policy. The President (Kaczyński) then did not hesitate, he was tough on Putin, you could say, he told him to his face what he thought of such actions and what they could lead to. Sasin also noted that none of the leaders present at these ceremonies invoked, among others, then German Chancellor Angela merkel“He did not dare to tell Putin that there was no consent to pursue such a policy.”

Deputy Prime Minister, Head of the Ministry of National Defense Mariusz Blaszczak he pointed out that Lech Kaczyński had warned against building a Russian empire. President Kaczyński was a scholar, he was a man who cited historical examples, and it was clear from these historical examples that if the Western world showed weakness, then Russia would fill the void that would be created. And that’s how it happened – said the head of the Ministry of National Defense. He pointed out that weakness had been demonstrated in 2008, and despite the efforts of President Kaczyński, no path was indicated for Ukraine or Georgia to join the North Atlantic Alliance.

Błaszczak also referred to the anniversary celebrations at Westerplatte in 2009, in which she participated Angela Merkel. As he pointed out, “It was the Germans who built the foundations on which Putin later built a military advantage.” He built a powerful Russian army. (…) It was Putin who built around the army, around the secret services, because he comes from the secret services, but around the army he built Russian military power, which he has then used. Weak, inadequate response to threats after 2014, this weak, inadequate response also translates into another attack on February 24 this year – said the Minister of Defense.

What is the task for us? What is the testament that we, as Law and Justice, fulfill? This testament of the late President Lech Kaczyński means to build a strong Polish army, we equip the Polish army with modern weapons, knowing that it is only through deterrence, it is only through building a strong army that we will not allow these Russian imperial ambitions to spill over into Poland Blaszczak added.

Sasin also stressed that President Kaczyński prioritized the safety of Poles.

During the broadcast, politicians also talked about President Kaczyński’s merits for Warsaw. Here they exchanged the construction of the Warsaw Uprising Museum, investments, but also social programs such as hot meals for children in schools and their guardians, or the construction of municipal blocks.
