Ladies and gentlemen,
The 3rd Papal March is behind us. Hundreds of Poles passed through the streets of the capital last Sunday, remembering our holy compatriot and reminding us of his legacy.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of you for joining this initiative: be there with us in Warsaw, or through financial support.
This means a lot – above all, it is simply a clear sign that for us, the people of St John Paul II, his teaching is inactive alive, and his character, although so many years he is no longer with us, has not gone into oblivion.
However, I cannot neglect to mention the circumstances that make this March peculiarly important.
When we remembered the Holy Pope and reminded him of his legacy, politicians who ruled us decided to launch another attack on the values he fought for.
Just before the Papal March, the ruling coalition announced an agreement on a law on the position of the closest individual in the relation and a joint-life agreement.
So another marathon of convincing Poles about how much specified a bill is essential began. In the ruling opinion, this is simply a essential step to guarantee respect and equal rights for those surviving in non-formalized relationships, which were allegedly to be discriminated against so far.
What's it truly like?
To put it simply: This bill is simply a cunning fort whose eventual intent is to destruct the image of the Polish household as we know it.
Similar legal solutions introduced in another countries in any case (!) were just an introduction to the full preference for same-sex relationships.
In this case, too, in our case The country, even though tiny concessions, will be the first step on the road in which we will end up full aligning concubinets and homosexual relationships with matrimony and granting single-sex couples the right to adopt children, in vitro treatments or surrogates.
If we want to halt this destruction, this is the last minute to act!
Of course, we will now hear the same as usual calming phrases: that it is about people surviving in unformed relationships being able to visit hospitals, run a joint bank account or bury their deceased partner.
Don't be fooled!
Those passwords are rude manipulation. For specified rights apply to persons who are not married now. The fresh task will not change anything about this!
But the current bill is to go even further – in practice, it is intended to grant concubines and single-sex unions privileges due to matrimony only:
- the anticipation of joint taxation settlement,
- tax exemption on inheritances and donations,
- as well as a household pension, wellness insurance or care leave.
So, in fact, these solutions will lead to discrimination against spouses!
Remember: this is not about any “love”. After all, marriages do not get peculiar rights “for reward” for feelings! No – matrimony between a man and a female is simply a commitment to society. It is simply a promise that we want children to be born in this relation and that they can be raised in the best environment for this, or permanent, loving family.
It is clear that this commitment will not be taken on by people in partnerships. Their intention is not to proceed the relation – if so, what would harm them to declare it in the form of marriage. Nor is it a commitment to the birth of offspring, which is clearly impossible for single-sex couples.
The nonsubjective is so clear: to get undue privileges in the name of alleged "tolerance" and "non-discrimination".
But this false “progress” will end for us in the same way as for Western Europe, where solutions akin to partnerships have already been introduced: a complete distribution of social governance and the demolition of the household on which this order is based.
We have the last minute to halt this destructive momentum!
Therefore, just after the politicians announced the ruling coalition agreement on the position of the next person, we organised a joint conference with the Ordo Iuris Institute, during which we clearly pointed out the manipulations of the creators of this task and warned that if we went on this path, we would not avoid the tragic destiny of another countries.
Do not be deceived that the innocent “status of the nearest person” or the partnership itself will end. We besides warned about how this was expected to wash our eyes at the conference.
In Austria In 2010, an institution of partnerships was introduced, and as early as 2019 the legal definition of matrimony was changed and it was possible for homosexuals to adopt children.
Even faster things happened, for example. in Ireland, where partnerships entered legal order in 2011, the definition of matrimony was already changed in 2015 and adoption of children was introduced a year later.
In Estonia In early 2024, a law allowing single-sex marriages entered into force and granting them the right to adopt children. And it started in 2016 with a licence to registry partnerships.
However, the most ‘express’ example is Malta: Partnerships were introduced there in 2014 and "marriage" for single-sex couples and kid adoption 3 years later, in 2017.
How shortly will things take place at our place?
Let me repeat – we cannot have illusions that Poland will avoid this fate!
That in our case LGBT activists will actually halt in the mediate of what is now under pressure.
We had already alerted about this many months ago erstwhile we started our run “Stop the Partnerships!”. At our appeal we managed to gather almost 60,000 signatures, and your large support is the best proof that Poles do not want to go the same way towards social degeneration as our European neighbours have already gone.
That's why I believe that despite the strong pressures of politicians going to hand with activists, everything is not lost yet!
President Karol Nawrocki has late expressed his want to reject specified a bill if it reaches his desk.
That's a good sign. To support the president in this decision, we will hand over to him the signatures collected by us under appeal ‘Stop Partnerships“. Let the voice of thousands of Poles be an additional motivation to defend the household and marriage.
However, there is 1 more, equally important, if not more important, challenge under the present circumstances.
We request to convince the public that these "compromising" solutions, as the rulers say, are in fact just an introduction to the complete demolition of the institution of marriage.
Unfortunately, many Poles inactive fall for left-wing phrases.
But here I see a light in the tunnel.
Not long ago, we were able to show a false “progressive” communicative on wellness education. It's a trap with a akin mechanics – seemingly innocent, or even essential for someone's well-being, they hide a truly well-thought-out plan to spread society from within.
And in the case of wellness education, we have won by convincing thousands of parents to defend their children from manipulation in school benches. The large social unrest has stopped the destructive urges of leftist politicians!
I believe this can happen this time. But we request your help!
We want to show Poles that a lasting matrimony is the only institution on which we can build healthy families. Without families fulfilling their basic functions, there is no healthy social tissue.
We request to remind each another of how important, but besides how beautiful and valuable matrimony is in individual terms. Moreover, it cannot be replaced by any imitation which grants undue privileges without any obligation.
The information run on partnerships, which we have been conducting through social media for months, and which enters a crucial moment, takes on considerable financial resources. So far it has been mainly spending on promoting the content of affirming marriage, but now that this issue is back in circulation, we request to make efforts to convince the public that the government's task is, on the 1 hand, profoundly unfair and, on the another hand, perverse.
Only by raising clear social opposition can we halt this leftist revolution! We don't have time to waste! We cannot let Poland to take 1 step on this road.
I want to halt the demolition of the family!
I say you have heard these mocking comments: how would a relation of 2 loving people endanger the existence of a family?!
It is an apparent effort to mock all those who, like us, have the courage to beat the alarm.
However, as we have been doing since the very beginning, as shortly as the first votes have appeared to urge the introduction of the Law on Partnerships, so we will do so until the last moment, so that – I hope – we will win the fight for the future of our Homeland.
The nonsubjective of these measures is clear. I repeat: this is the alignment of the union of single-sex couples with marriages and giving them all marital privileges, including the adoption of children, as well as beginning up access to unethical procedures, specified as calling children to life in the procedure in vitro Or surrogacy.
This may shortly be our reality.
Therefore, at the end I will remind again the words of St John Paul II: "These matters must not concern me, they must not hurt me!"
And today, so many years after these words are spoken, these things must not be taken lightly!
If we step down now, allowing Poland to enter this road, there will be no return from it.
Greetings.
Marcin Perłowski
