I watched a tv show last night about the 1965 Meat Festival. The convictions in it have been called a Communist crime.
For an incomprehensible reason for me, this was illustrated with a WP band, specified as the soldiers of the Home Army wore. It was suggested that the death punishment in this trial was based on the leaders of the People's Poland. Władysław Gomulka. Gomulka itself was called a bloody duck. I don't think it's fair to accept specified a narrative. This is highly unfair.
The scandal was to bargain a large-scale deficit commodity specified as meat, to trade better goods for worse, to falsify invoices, to hand bribes to those dealing with meat transportation who provided larger deliveries in return. It had nothing to do with politics, independency or communism. The main suspect in the trial was the manager of Municipal Meat Trade Warsaw Prague Stanisław Wawrzedki. He was the father of the celebrated actor Paweł Wawrzecki today. The mentioned Stanislaw Wawręcki was sentenced to death penalty. 4 another directors were sentenced to life imprisonment and the remaining defendants were sentenced to 9 to 12 years in prison.
The jury chaired, was Roman Covers. It's the same overzealous man who sentenced the captain to death. Witold Pilecki. The punishment for Wawrzecki was evidently excessive. But you can't call harsh punishment for a thief a communist crime. It must not be equated with unjust judgments which fell upon innocent soldiers and political activists in the times of the Bermanov region as Tadeusz Łabędzki or Adam Doboszyński. This is not an example of an innocent man being sentenced to death, but an example of a punishment besides harsh for a criminal.
This judgement was deleted and condemned in Poland more than 20 years ago. In 2010, the Warsaw territory Court ordered the payment of PLN 200,000 in damages to 1 of the sons of Stanisław Wawrzecki. Then why is he mentioned today? I think there are 2 reasons.
First, it is symbolic to me that 1 of the first judicially deleted and widely condemned judgments was the 1 concerning apparent theft. It's about any rehabilitation. It was then, and present it is simply a systemic signal, from which it may appear that stealing public property is no longer peculiarly reprehensible. And that's the narration that made many thieves under the cloak of privatization actions plunder our country due to the fact that they felt unpunished. To them, the state meant no one. This was done by people who were full of clichés about Poland. The late deputy prime minister and self-defense leader Andrzej Lepper mentioned this many times. Protected and guarded property is the private property, especially belonging to transnational corporations.
Secondly, the example of Wawrzecki's destiny present is utilized by the stupid Brussels propaganda opponents of the main punishment. Although this is simply a completely meaningless argument, nobody calls for the death punishment to be applied to economical crimes. I was and am a supporter of the main punishment. I believe that it should be restored in cases where crime is among the heaviest and there is no uncertainty about it. This is, in my view, a fair and universally felt punishment by the nation as a balancing punishment. Whoever murders others in a savage way should be convinced that he besides sentenced himself to death. punishment for a degenerate killer is not expected to be mild. She's expected to be fair. The righteous punishment for execution is death. We must not let in the name of any global formulas and spell law to defend a torturer more than the victim.
