26/06/2024 | 18:32:45 Thank you. Mr Chairman, Dear colleagues, I would like to start by thanking Lord Richard KEEN for drafting a far-reaching report that proposes a real solution to resolving conflict between states of the Council of Europe, and potentially beyond, and to resolving the issue concerning compensation and reparation. Other potential avenues that exist to resolve conflict and seek redress can be blocked or simply ignored. Here there is finally a proposal that will allow victim states and victims to... 15/03/2022 | 12:48:53 Dear colleagues, Dear President, In the beginning I would like to inform you that the Polish Prime-Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala and the Prime Minister of Slovenia Janez Janša, today they are going to Kyiv. They will meet with President Zelenskyy. This is a strong message that our countries are together with Ukraine, together with the Ukrainian people. This is our support and our strong message to the world. Dear... 14/03/2022 | 17:07:10 Thank you. Mister president, we must do everything we can to stop the war. Sanctions against Russia are a very important element, As you see from the headlines and the TEP reports, the EU sanctions already implemented are still not severe enough to stop criminal war aggression of Putin's Russia and Lukashenko's Belarus. At the same time there is a range of assets of many Russians oligarchs already frozen in accordance with the EU and US American sanctions. In order to make peace in Europe... 24/01/2022 | 16:29:42 Thank you very much, thank you very much, Madam President. Dear colleagues, first of all, I would like to thank you for this vote. After the decision of the committee on the election of judges, rejecting the Polish list of the candidates again, appealed to the review of that decision and sent it back to the committee in order to conduct proper interviews. And only after that, to take a fully informed and objective decision. The hearing of the candidates is not even started. They did not get a... 30/09/2021 | 16:36:33 Mister President, I would like to thank [unintelligible] to consider the situation on increased migration pressure on the borders of Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland with Belarus. We have proposed a debate to draw PACE's attention to the unprecedented action and pressure exerted on the European Union by immigrants. First of all, I would like to state very clearly that the current text in the eyes of potential readers may create a misleading impression that the urgent migration situation has been... 21/04/2021 | 11:30:07 Thank you. In my speech, I would like to raise the problem of discrimination against the Polish minority in Belarus. The Polish minority in Belarus are descendants of the Poles who become Belarusian citizens due to boundary changes that occurred after the World War II. The Union of Poles in Belarus [in Polish, Związek Polaków na Białorusi] is an organisation gathering the Polish minority in Belarus. Its activities focus on cultivating Polish culture and tradition, as well as supporting Polish... 19/04/2021 | 17:33:01 Thank you. I have an objection to Document No. 15 26 3 concerning the questioning of the Polish list for electing judges to the European Court of Human Rights. I said before that I would like to strongly underline that the national selection procedure fulfills all standards described in the guidelines of the Committee of Ministers dated March 2012. Our procedure was the same as in 2012. Reviewing many different countries like Germany, Austria or Spain, all the candidates, I'm convinced, have... 19/04/2021 | 17:26:26 Madam President, I would like to thank the rapporteur for this introduction to the report on the activities of the Bureau of the Assembly and the Standing Committee. I would like to refer only to Document 15263 on the Election of Judges to the European Court of Human Rights. The Committee recommends that the Assembly reject the Polish list of candidates for procedural reasons. Even before interviewing them, each day they were invited and were waiting for it during the meeting of the Committee... 27/01/2021 | 17:02:28 Thank you Ms President. Dear colleagues, Alexei Navalny is the main political prisoner of Europe at the moment. He's a great hope for Russian people and a big swear word for Putin's regime. At the same time, if he is released, Russians have a great chance to change their country. Russia without a bloody regime means a safer and more sustainable Europe. But until Russia becomes a democratic country we should agree on common rules between all the democratic European countries. No investments... 26/01/2021 | 19:06:00 Written question The right to a fair trial is one of the most important rights granted by the European Convention on Human Rights. In Poland, there are still people who are the victims of World War II. I personally know many such people, often they are elderly and disabled. Despite the lapse of more than 80 years since the end of the war, citizens of our country have no legal path – under Polish, German or international law – to pursue court claims against a State that violated a number of...
