– This control has purely political features – it paralyzes the Institute of National Remembrance.

These types of things should not happen in a democratic state during the election campaign, because this is the moment when neither I nor my employees, we have no doubt that it is a political control – said Nawrocki and added that in his opinion and this one The control will end with the statement that the Institute of National Remembrance issues its financial resources in accordance with the law.

Nawrocki defends BÅ‚aszczak
During the conference, Nawrocki was also asked about the disclosure of a fragment of the Polish Armed Forces Plan of the Polish Armed Forces with the cryptronism “Warta” in the parliamentary campaign by the then head of the Ministry of National Defense. This plan is a document from 2011 regarding the method of defense against a possible attack Russia. Referring to this document, Blaszczak accused PO politicians that during their rule they planned in the event of an invasion of the state defense on the Vistula line and “devoting half of the country to the attacker”.
Fragments of declassified documents “were used in the PiS election spot, which was broadcast in mid -September 2023 before the parliamentary elections in October.” The then Minister of Defense showed the first page of the document describing the defense operation “Plan of the use of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland Warta – 00101”. General MieczysÅ‚aw Cieniuch, who at the time as the Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Army signed a document, later explained that it was planned to use the army for 10-14 days, but it did not mean that the defense would last. He added that Blaszczak showed only the fifth, last stage of defense.
Nawrocki said that Blaszczak “had to tell Poles that the government, headed by Tusk, planned to give half the Polish -Lithuanian Commonwealth to the barbarians.” – It was in the interest of the Polish state to indicate what is happening in the Commonwealth and how these people think about Poland's security – said Nawrocki and emphasized that “after this line” financial resources related to “development and financing of Poland” are distributed .
– The situation in which Mr. BÅ‚aszczak found himself today shows how much price you pay for the truth. He pays the one who told the truth, and not those who were ready to give Poland to barbarians – said the PiS candidate.
In this case, the Prosecutor General Adam Bodnar He asked the Sejm to repeal immunity for the former head of the Ministry of Defense. In response, Blaszczak announced that he would not waive immunity. The National Prosecutor's Office said that there is a “reasonable suspicion that Mariusz BÅ‚aszczak as the Minister of National Defense exceeded his rights and abolished clauses in strategic operational planning documents.” “September 17, 2023, he publicly disclosed and, contrary to the provisions of the Act on the protection of classified information
