Jarosław Kaczyński appeared in Zabrze on the first weekend of August. During the speech, the leader of the largest opposition organization did not neglect to drive in a pointed ruling coalition. He stated that "today the planet is going to the right".
Kaczyński reached for anti-Semitic film, talking about the wife of the head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs
– And Poland also, thankfully, goes to the right. It's in all the studies. So possibly they're going to effort to pretend, too, and I stress that word: pretend they're going to the right. And this pretending will be called Radosław Sikorski," said PiS president, referring to the Coalition on October 15.
He then referred to the wife of the head of the MFA – an American writer with judaic roots Anne Applebaum. “You can laugh, but at the minute he works in specified a way that his wife, you know who she is, writes the book “Mother Polk”, added Kaczyński, laughing.
The consequence of Radosław Sikorski did not take long. "Once upon a time for acting as Minister of Defence in his government, he kissed me in my hands, and Anne Applebaum praised for 'Gulag' and more. And now she's attacking her by letting her eye out to the anti-Semites. I do not remember akin innuendos towards the president Agata Kornhauser-Duda" – wrote the head of the MFA on X.
Kaczyński mocking Sikorski again
The president of PiS was asked about Sikorski's entry on Monday in the Sejm. "If you take what Mr. Sikorski says seriously, I feel sorry for you," replied 1 of the TVN journalists.
Kaczyński's words about the writer provoked criticism. "Sikorski is right that Kaczyński gives eyes to anti-Semites. 'You know who she is' about the wife of the head of the MFA in the context of her book 'Mother Polk' is simply a terrible hint. This will now be the policy of the right. Xenophobic, exclusive, anti-elitarian, populist, Trumpian. fresh radicalism" – says writer Przemysław Szubartowicz.
Let us add that anti-Semitism in Poland has a long and complex history. The coexistence of Poles and Jews for centuries was full of both cooperation and tensions. In the 20th century anti-Semitism took peculiarly tragic forms – from inter-war violence, the Holocaust of Jews through Nazi Germany, to post-war pogroms (e.g. in Kielce in 1946) and the 1968 anti-Semitic campaign.
Nowadays anti-Semitism in Poland occurs mainly verbally – on the Internet, social media or any political statements specified as Grzegorz Braun. Importantly, it is anti-Semitism in a country where there are practically no Jews – in Poland it is simply a very tiny cultural spiritual group.
