‘During the demonstration in Zgorzelec there was provocation. It was headed by masked individuals with racist slogans. They had nothing to do with the organizers. Everything looked like a setup – perfect for German propaganda and to slander Polish patriots" – said Robert Bąkiewicz in a recording made available on the X platform. Very rapidly it turned out that the provokers were utilized by German media.
Several 100 people protested on the border bridge with Germany in Zgorzelec (Dolnośląskie province) against migration policy in the European Union. Among another things, immediate border inspection by the Polish side was requested, following the example that Germany has been conducting since 2023.
This is another specified protest, the erstwhile 1 was held on 8 March at the border with Germany in Słubice; their organizer is national activist Robert Bąkiewicz and Polish paper Clubs.
Provocation at the protest
In his account, Bąkiewicz pointed out that many people saw that the same people who appeared at the protest with racist slogans, later “in collegiate” spoke with police officers. It is besides interesting what Bąkiewicz said that the police did not respond to requests to remove these people from the demonstration.
Was it a service provocation? The most amazing thing is that the police did not respond to our requests to remove these masked people from our demonstration. This is an unprecedented situation. I have carried out respective 100 manifestations in my life, but I have never encountered specified police behaviour, which has a legal work to guarantee the safety of participants and cooperation in this substance with organizers, and here it was passive.
Please don't believe in false accounts of our protest. Don't be manipulated. The fact looks different.
He stressed.
Bąkiewicz besides asked these people in protest to take off their masks and show who they were.
We ask you to take off your masks and show yourself normally. We don't want to tolerate specified images
He said.
There's footage of people in black ski masks on the network.
During today's protest at the border with Germany, provokers appeared. Black ski masks, stature of a service officer, Celtic cross – pretend to be Polish Nazis? They stand in a fewer like stakes and people point fingers at them. Then they went and a fewer returned “in civilian” to evidence people
— reads the account of 1 of the X users.
German media have most likely recorded any appropriate shots and will the planet hear about Nazis on the Polish border already tonight? The same Bolshevik methods all the time. Tusk's back, service provocations have returned to his own citizens.
— added.
Janusz Kowalski, a PiS MP, besides asked about who these people are.
Who are you? Take off those masks, there are Polish patriots. Are you provokers? Take off your masks! Is that German provocation?
said Janusz Kowalski (PiS), a associate of the assembly.
Provocation! Take off the mask!
“The crowd shouted.
Quiet the music, please! Where's the police? We request the police here!
— It was heard from the stage.
Stay calm, does anyone request any medical attention right now? Is there a situation that would require medical attention?
“Bąkiewicz asked.
We're going back to our manifestation, we don't want to see our faces covered. Is that a provoking question?
“He added.
According to the study of the protest participants, men in ski masks utilized teardrop gas during pushes.
Lying “Bilda” relationship
It turned out that the provokers landed on the heads of German media. The German tabloid “Bild” article on protest covered the title: “Polish right-wing extremists show against refugees”.
Hundreds of demonstrators, including many Polish neo-Nazis, hold banners. any with passwords that can besides be seen at AfD demonstrations in Saxony
