Deputy Minister balances flag symbols with Chrobry's sword

In Polish public life there are no shortages of absurds, but what the Minister Anna Radwan-Röhrenschef said is simply a human concept. In a conversation at TOK FM, alternatively of focusing on the real problem of glorifying criminals from UPA and the presence of the flag symbolism in the public space, the minister decided to align the symbols of criminals with the symbol of the fight for free Poland – Chrobry's sword. It's not only absurd, it's shameful.

Comparing the red-black flag of flags under which Poles were murdered in Volyn, to the sword of Chrobry – the sign of the pre-war National-Radical Camp and later symbol of many patriotic environments – is not only a deficiency of historical knowledge, but a conscious spit in the face of Polish heroes. People wearing Chrobry's sword died at the hands of German Nazis in Auschwitz, fought against the commune, were beaten and bullied by security. They were at a time erstwhile the elites of today's “pro-European” parties learned in Moscow, stood on the side of Poland – sovereign, Christian and strong.

Meanwhile, the Minister, in a kind known for TVN propaganda and left-wing liberal media, accuses national communities of "anti-Ukrainian hysteria", as if demanding respect for victims of the Volyn massacre was any kind of attack. It is not a hysteria – it is simply a concern for historical memory and to prevent relativisation of crimes.

We will not let Chrobry's sword to be placed in 1 line with UPA symbols as if they were 2 sides of the same coin. It is an insult to those who gave their lives for Poland. If anyone has a problem with this symbol today, it is not due to the fact that he carries evil – just due to the fact that he reminds about Poland proud, national and independent, which does not bow to Moscow, Brussels or Kiev.

The words of Minister Radwan-Röhrenschef are not only an example of ignorance, but besides a deliberate demolition of national identity. In the name of political correctness, today, everything that does not fit into liberal communicative – from the past of the National Armed Forces to modern patriotic environments – is being tried to remove from public debate. And we say clearly: That's enough!

If the power truly wants to talk about the ban on hatred symbols – let it start with the banders. Not from Chrobry's sword. Not from Polish patriots. due to the fact that Poland is not a country without memory. And he won't be a country without honor.

It is worth reminding us who the individual who speaks specified scandalous words is. Anna Krystyna Radwan-Röhrenschef is simply a sociologist by education. from 2007 to 2015 she served as president of the Management Board of the Robert Schuman Polish Foundation, promoting the thought of European integration. Since 2024 he has served as Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of abroad Affairs in the government of the Poland 2050 Party. It is besides worth noting that she was a close co-worker of president Bronisław Komorowski – a man who, as 1 of the fewer presidents of the 3rd Republic, deliberately marginalized the independency and national environments, promoting alternatively a "soft" course of submission to Brussels and Berlin.

It's not a coincidence. This environment is allergic to everything Polish, strong and national. And present he tries to impose his imagination of past and values – at the expense of remembering the heroes who died for Homeland. It's not there, and there's no consent.
