We have 2 fresh “heroes”

Ukrainian Vladimir crane, suspected of blowing up the Nord Steram pipeline and justice Dariusz Łubowski – these are the fresh large heroes of the Ukrainian organization in Poland.

This organization groups practically all political and media formations and the alleged patriotic storyteller from the sign “Gazeta Polska” applauding the justice after the decision not to issue the Ukrainian to the German judiciary.

Judge Dariusz Lubowski, alternatively of complying with applicable global law, which clearly states that the European Arrest Warrant (ENA) is not subject to discussion, made a purely political decision, due to the fact that he was terrified of the reaction of politicians and the media. A individual who has been prosecuted with the European Arrest Warrant may not be given to a individual in only 3 cases: if a individual has already been convicted of the same offence; he is underage (the individual afraid has not reached the age of criminal work in the executing State); and in the case of amnesty (the executing State, he may have prosecuted that person, but the offence is subject to amnesty in that State). no of these cases happened. Meanwhile, the Polish court focused in its justification on political and historical issues. He felt that Ukraine "had the right" to carry out a diversion act because: "This kind of action taken by armed forces and peculiar forces during the war on the critical infrastructure of the aggressor is not sabotage, and an act of diversion which in no way could be crimes." So he indirectly admitted that the crane was the perpetrator.

In this case, however, it is not the most important, but the fact that the Polish political “class” in the group, from both supposedly fighting OP and PiS camps, demanded before the judgement of the court not to transmit it to the “Germans”, due to the fact that the crane is simply a “hero” and should get an order. In the case of PiS, that's understandable. The Ukrainian sabotage group acted calmly and without hindrance in Poland during their rule, but the PO, which has slogans about the state of law, about the superiority of global law over national. For what? Obsessive rusophobia or fear of what the crane might uncover at the trial in Germany?

The problem is that the attack on Nord Stream was not an attack on “Russian critical infrastructure” but on the property of respective companies from European countries, not only Russia and Germany, but besides from the Netherlands, France, large Britain and Austria. Doesn't Donald Tusk know that? The translation that Nord Steram I and II drove the "Kremla war machine" is lying. For decades Europe has utilized inexpensive energy sources from Russia and built its economical power, Poland too. The claim that the benefits were unilateral is absurd. In addition, after the outbreak of the war, Europe itself cut off from Russian gas supplies, and Poland, utilizing legal gaps, pumped Russian oil as long as possible.

Péter Szijártó, Hungarian abroad Minister, said: “According to Donald Tusk, blowing up a gas pipeline is acceptable. It's shocking due to the fact that I want to ask what else can be blown up and inactive consider it forgiving and even commendable. 1 thing is certain: we do not want a Europe in which prime ministers defend terrorists." And he's right.
