From March to the media, leaks proceed to flow about plans to change the definition of espionage contained in the Polish legal system.
The authors of leaks are usually persons associated with the Ministry of Justice or straight with Solidarna Polska and its leader Ziobra. In fresh days, an extended interview on this issue was given Marcin Warchol, a trusted Ziobra man and his right hand in the ministry.
‘An intelligence activity will be an activity or a squad of activities, undertaken in the interest or for the benefit of a abroad State, intelligence or abroad entity, consisting in the acquisition, transmission of messages which the disclosure of which may undermine the State’s interest in the protection of independence, territorial integrity, external or interior security, defence, environment, cultural heritage, technological or economical potential, or the conduct of another activities affecting the State’s interest in this regard, Mr Warchoł stated. By translating the Vice-Minister into applicable language: erstwhile the provisions are introduced, the charge of espionage can be made virtually to anyone, just as in the times of Stalinism. Because, for example, writing on social media, that the Polish military is presently vulnerable, does not constitute “another action that undermines the safety of the state”?
Of course, to establish specified a right and transfer it to the squad Ziobry is an thought as good as giving a monkey a razor. A monkey will surely enjoy specified a gift and enjoy it. Doing indeterminate harm to himself and everyone around him. I can already see with the eyes of the soul as the next day after the entry into force of the criminalized regulation, sweaty boys from Solidarne Poland begin joyful collection of receipts. Both political competition and partners. Even the other. It remains to be hoped that akin conclusions will be reached by both opposition leaders and Jarosław KaczyńskiThen they'll send the incriminated task consecutive to the trash can. But there's no certainty. In the end, there are no shortages in the Law and Justice that would gladly set fire to the piles under their “Russian agents”. However, if these unfortunate ideas were to be passed as a model, the law-abiding citizen already wants to publically denounce 3 apparent cases of cooperation between Polish officials and abroad interviews.
11 November 2014 editor-in-chief of “Gazeta Polska”, Tomasz Sakiewicz was honored Ukraine safety Service medal. SBU statutoryly deals with counterintelligence and intelligence, including the creation of a network of agents of influence in abroad countries. Her boss back then, Valentin Nalijkenko compared Polish police to the NKVD and Gestapo. "On Ukrainian soil, the authorities changed 1 by one. However, they had a common goal – to destruct everything Ukrainian. Break the unity of our nation. Whether Polish police, German Gestapo or russian NKVD were sent to the prison in Łącki, their main prisoners were freedom fighters, members of the liberation movement" - he said. This did not offend Sakiewicz, who accepted the medal enthusiastically. ‘This is the first medal I received in my life – the editor-in-chief of “Gazeta Polska”. As we can see, this case of cooperation with a abroad intelligence is perfectly documented and obvious. It remains to direct a simple indictment and wait for conviction.
The second case involves the amendment of the Act on IPN in 2018. The intention of the originators of the change was to add to the Act the paragraphs on the prosecution of flag crimes and punishment for talking Poles about participation in Nazi crimes. The thought seems to be good, but the intention is murmured. For the incriminated change was only a cuckoo egg planted Matthew Morawiecek by priceless allies from Solidary Poland.
As a result, the loudest in decades of howling of the world's judaic environment has spread. In the face of specified a dictum, Polish politicians, perfectly trained by their superiors, began to kajaj racing. The Polish side would have preferred to release a veil of silence for the activities, but the Israeli side was (probably not accidental) much little discreet. That is why we learned that the secret talks were held at the Mossad delegation in Vienna and at the Mossad office in Glilot, Tel Aviv. They were to negociate with Israeli intelligence with PiS Members Legutko and Poręba. abroad intelligence dictated changes in our law and even "consulted" authoritative statements of Polish politicians. If this is not a ‘team of actions, taken in the interest or for the benefit of a abroad state’, I do not know what it is.
Example three, possibly the most curiosal, is the case Robert Grey. Do you remember who a gentleman with a purely Polish name: Robert Grey? He was Deputy Minister of abroad Affairs of the Republic of Poland in his office Beata Szydło. As we read on the MFA website, Mr. Grey “has completed his studies at the University of Massachusetts (philosophy and sociology) and fresh School University in fresh York City (international relations, government and law specialization). He was a regional legislative advisor to the Massachusetts State Senate. He spent a year in Africa collecting materials on the effectiveness of partnerships with global organisations and ON. In Cambodia, he investigated human rights. He worked at Putnam Investments in Boston. He then specialised in global relations, in peculiar economical diplomacy and negotiations, and in building partnerships between the private and state sectors. From 2005 to 2008, he worked at the UN office in fresh York City, where he headed the Partnership Office.
From 2008 to 2010, he was Managing manager of the planet BPO Forum Partnerships in cooperation with the UN (New Delhi/New York). Since 2010 he has worked in Poland. From 2010 to 2013, he was the manager of global Relations and Partnerships of the Institute for east Studies and economical Forum in Krynica, and from 2012 to 2013 advisor to the Management Board of Polish Defence Holding/Bumar Group. From 2013 to 2014, he served as manager of Communication and External Relations of the University of Warsaw. He was then the operational manager and board associate of the venture capital fund Xplorer Fund in Warsaw, as well as the president of the board of the Globe Forum Foundation. As of May 2016, he was an advisor to the Political Office of the Minister of abroad Affairs".
Nice resume. Regardless of the persistent rumors of Mr Robert's relation with the CIA, we have surely been dealing with entrusting a key position in the apparatus to a national of another state, in addition to being powerfully linked to abroad political and capital structures. So compose “an act or a set of activities, in the interest or for the benefit of a abroad State, intelligence or abroad entity’. Fortunately, the characters of these events can sleep peacefully. Not at all due to the fact that lex retro non agit (the law does not work backwards), due to the fact that this rule has been simply ignored by the Polish legislature for respective years. The point is that no 1 in Poland will decision American spies (which is understandable). Israeli (which is understandable much less) or even Ukrainian (which is simply curiosal). Instead, Polish services will fight freedom of speech with all seriousness, pretending that this is how they fight Russian agents. That's our law and justice.
