Władysław Kosiniak-Kamish On 1 October, he called "ordinary rudeness" a mockery of Sławomir Mentzen from women admitted to the Lower Silesian Police. The dispute was triggered by 150 officers, 65 of whom were women. The right is obliged to talk hard about the efficiency of services, but contempt towards people in uniform does not strengthen the safety of Poles.
Mentzen mocked the fresh recruit
Sławomir Mentzen published a recording relating to the fresh recruitment in the Lower Silesian Police. He ironic that after the admission of more than 150 Georgian officers gangs and Ukrainian veterans are expected to tremble with fear. The movie primarily showed women, so the meaning of the message was clear: the politician questioned their usefulness in dealing with dangerous crime.
The starting point was actual recruitment, but Mentzen gave it inaccurately. Provincial Police Command in Wrocław informedthat on 16 September 150 people were admitted to the service: 65 women and 85 men. After basic training, 135 of them are to be sent to municipal and region commands in Lower Silesia.
Chief MON's harsh response
Władysław Kosiniak-Kamish rated Mentzen's entry as chauvinism and depreciating women's values. He called it “ordinary rudeness”, and the mockery of the uniform he called utmost stupidity and scandal. He besides announced that he would defend women in uniform who deserved respect for their service.
The representatives of the Ministry of abroad Affairs responded similarly. Minister Marcin Kierwiński stated that police officers served Poland well, and the spokesperson for the ministry Karolina Galecka accused Mentzen of bringing shame. Prime Minister Donald Tusk published a photograph of the officers with 1 word: “Pride”. The police dispute became another chance for political clashAlthough his point is more serious than an online punch exchange.
Uniforms require efficiency and responsibility
You have the right to make all candidates for the Police advanced standards. The citizen expects the officer to be fit, courageous, prepared and able to intervene effectively. sex cannot service as either a reduced tariff or a reason for collective ridicule. Clear standards and fair enforcement are important.
The police themselves remind us that service is not limited to direct clashes with violent criminals. Officers work in prevention, traffic, crime, investigative and forensic technology. Each of these tasks requires different predispositions. Mentzen's criticism has so hit a real problem, but a bad target.
The right hand should not underestimate the service
Mentzen can rightly ask whether the Polish services are ready for organised crime, migration force and threats to war behind our east border. That's the kind of question you need. The answer, however, should be numbers, recruitment requirements, the quality of training and the effectiveness of formation, not mocked at people who have just taken a vow.
Also, rulers cannot be outraged erstwhile questions about staff shortages, equipment, or standard of preparation of officers are raised. Defending the dignity of police officers does not close the debate on the state of the police. It imposes a simple duty: to discuss honestly and to measurement everyone with the same measure.
Poland needs efficient services and a serious right. respect for a uniform does not mean giving up state control. It means that criticism is expected to hit the incorrect rules, neglect and lowering requirements, alternatively than officers being collectively judged on grounds of gender. Without this limit, the debate on safety becomes a spectacle from which Poles have no benefit.
