Let’s not appropriate Independence Day to just one place. And it’s very far, right-wing. Let’s go ahead and say that we are one – said Jurek Owsiak, president of the WOŚP Foundation, in “Fakty po Faktach” on TVN24. He said that “maybe we need shock therapy.” – I am ready to pay even higher taxes, for example for health care, if I know that this money will not be wasted – he added.
In the program, Owsiak referred to Saturday’s Independence Day and the nationalist march organized in connection with it, which took place through the streets of Warsaw.
– I have nothing against parades. I have nothing against any procession. Let everyone reveal themselves in this matter and say: “this is how I see it.” I am against it when the law is broken with slogans. When you say Nazi slogans, when you present slogans that say who is a real Pole and who is not – said the president of the WOŚP Foundation.
– But let’s not create such a law, let’s not appropriate Independence Day to just one place. And it’s very, very far, right-wing – he added. Owsiak said that patriotic manifestations should be dominated by the attitude of smiling and contentment. – Let’s go ahead and say that we are one – he added.
Owsiak: common Europe is for the good of Poland

– Mr. Jarosław, believe me that Poles who have chosen this new time also believe that a common Europe is for the good of Poland – he said.
Owsiak: I am ready to pay more taxes if I know that this money will not be wasted
Owsiak also referred to the current socio-political situation after elections parliamentary. He said that “maybe we need shock therapy.” – So let’s make the calculation as we have – he added.
– Even if this bill is dangerous. Even if this bill – our entire system, the state of the country – requires saying: “you will pay more tax because we have to fix it somehow.” I’m ready for it. But I prefer to know the worst truth, he continued.
– I believe that many people prefer this truth. And he also prefers to face this truth. I will say it again – I am ready to pay even more taxes, for example for health care, (…), but I am ready to pay if I know that this money will not be wasted – emphasized the TVN24 guest.
