Senator Jan Filip Libicki tweeted an entry that cut off his own party. The PSL politician referred to victims of pedophilia in the Church and the activities of Tomasz Terlikowski.
"The vigor with which editor Terlikowski puts all victim of pedophilia in the Church at the centre gives birth in me - admits that evil - temptation to halt caring so much" - Libicki wrote.
The food with which the editor @tterlikowski puts all victim of paedophilia in the Church at the centre of the task – he admits that evil – the temptation to halt caring so much about them. For now I'm fighting this temptation effectively, but I don't know how long... @newPSL
— Jan Filip Libicki (@jflibicki) March 26, 2023The PSL spokesperson almost immediately posted a correction and apology on the network for the senator's words.
Today in the morning interview RMF FM Robert Mazurek asked politics for a Sunday entry. "I know many seminars, parishes and assemblies where specified situations have not occurred. I believe that what Terlikowski writes is false. If we start saying that something happened everywhere, we weaken the social sensitivity to these cases, erstwhile these crimes of pedophilia actually happened" - Libicki said.
Senator apologized to victims of pedophilia
Jan Filip Libicki admitted on RMF FM that he had made a mistake and apologized to victims of pedophilia. "I made a mistake due to the fact that as a politician I should anticipate and ponder not only what I wanted to say but how her portrayal on Twitter will be taken away".
Senator added, "It was not my intention to diminish the pain and suffering of victims of paedophilia crime, either in the Church or outside the Church. If this is misunderstood, I want to make it clear that victims of pedophilia crime, these victims on second thought, I apologize."
Libicki stated that he would not remove the entry so that, paradoxically, it would not gain more popularity. However, he assured that he was ready to "translate from it in the media".
"The Lord wrote that you would not care about the victims of pedophilia. I know you're not a mean man, but this entry is dripping either stupid or mean," said Robert Mazurek, the interviewer. "I'm sorry again if anyone felt offended" - said Libicki.
The politician was asked straight whether he was afraid of being excluded from the legislature pact for the upcoming elections. "I am not afraid of specified things and I am convinced that the PSL will make a wise decision on this matter. I'm not afraid they'll throw me off the list," said Libicki.
