On the 128th anniversary of the birth of the first commander of the 1st Polish Army in the USSR – Lieutenant General Sigismund Henry Berling we call for peace and call out: NOT FOR WAR.
This man by his will and by the power of patriotism rescued Poles from the inhuman land, leading them to their homeland. He was inspired by ideas of blood economics and political realism. He rejected concepts of "two enemies" and understood geopolitical processes. General Berling as a actual soldier knew what war was and how crucial it is to prevent this eventual and always incorrect solution.
We take advantage of General Sigismund Berling's prudence and his commitment to the war in Ukraine is due to 3 main reasons: work for the nation, a sense of realism and patriotism. We don't want a national threat. We are convinced that our expanding commitment to war is dangerous and compromises the Polish right of state. We love Poland and want it to make in peace.
The subject of war concerns all Poles. due to the fact that in the process, the biological existence of the nation is threatened. There are matters which must unite all Poles regardless of political views, class conditions, religion or planet views. This is the issue of opposition to war and of pushing Poland into it.
The opposition to the war should present be a precedence and common among Polish citizens. . Whether they are closer to conservative or liberal views. Whether they describe themselves as right or left. Whether they are believers or agnostics or non-believers. The 1 from the left and the 1 from the right - precisely the same way he dies. It is the cry of children in Ukraine and in Gaza. Let war be a message to the people of the world.
For us Poles as a nation, a global conflict due to geopolitical situation and besides national character would be disastrous. The war between Russia and the NATO block would take place in Polish territory. Poland, as in 1914-1918 I 1939-1945, would become a battlefield. What Poland can do in today's realities is to stay as far distant from conflicts as possible.
Restrict yourself to rational humanitarian aid to real victims. We should advance the kind of fresh Rapack Plan. It would be wise if people with authority, citizens of Poland in our country, started promoting ideas to influence the large and powerful of this planet And scope society with a different communicative than war. In our Polish interest we should work towards diplomacy and peace relations, creating the widest possible non-atomic zone. Let us have in our heads the wise words of Prime Minister Andrzej Lepper "Every war is unjust, there are no wars of justice and wrong, it is simply a carrier of demolition and immensity of misfortune, it entails unnecessary human sacrifices" May the message of Pope Francis in the cry for peace become the beginning of the conflict for peace.
We appeal to all the countrymen – NOT FOR WAR! Yes, for peace!
