Confederate press conference attended by Marty Czech and Michał Waver, 26 June 2024.
Michał Wawer:
– ♪ Up ahead ♪ another installment of the drama, which is the passing of the law on the revision of the definition of rape proposed by the Left.
In the first act of this drama, the Left presented a bill that was a legislative nightmare and left a immense field of abuse and doubt. The Sejm saw this and the codification committee dealt with this bill in specified a way that alternatively of a legislative nightmare we now have a legislative monster glued together from fragments of what we had in the current definition and passages of what the Left wished for.
It didn't solve anything, it didn't improve anything. We inactive have a bill that leaves more question marks to the courts and average citizens, more doubts than gives answers than gives legal clarity! If this bill in specified a form is passed by the Sejm, no 1 will truly have any clear guidelines, no legal certainty about what rape is, how rape in the Polish legal order is defined and who, in what situation for rape may be convicted. Not due to the fact that a average individual does not know this intuitively, but due to the fact that the courts will find themselves in a situation of complete ambiguity of the law.
Left works the way left works. He naively writes into the bill what they think is best, what is desirable, without considering what the actual consequences of specified actions will be. And the effects will be that at the time erstwhile the law is pasted into this current definition the premise of consent, it will not be clear erstwhile this consent is to be expressed, or in what form it is to be expressed, or how the court can verify it. The actual effect of specified government will be to destruct the presumption of innocence!
And this will in no way contribute to greater protection of victims, due to the fact that In the course of this legislative work, the left gave up increased protection for victims! Among another things She resigned from the request to qualify rape as a crimeand. What of all the demands of the Left in this area was a good postulate. And this 1 good request was rejected by the Left in the course of legislative work.
Instead, in the absence of any increased protection of victims, we have increased threats for all others. What we have seen in the wave of events covered by this combined “mee too” denominator is increasing, that just any people, not only women, scope for rape charges, harassment charges as a tool for making money, as a tool for winning court battles, as a tool for gaining fame. I All those who are presently exposed to specified threats, precisely the threats concerning the slanders of false accusations, after the legal changes proposed by the Left, will be significantly, much more threatened. If we want to fight sexual violence, The Confederacy has a prescription for this, it is not a prescription to deprive Poles of their innocence.
