Tomasz Sakiewicz was a guest on Radio Republika, where he extensively commented on the current political situation in Poland, international relations, and the issue of aid to Ukraine. The head of the House of Free Word (DWS) referred to attempts to exclude Prof. Cenckiewicz as an action aimed at “furnishing the president’s office”, and also appealed to officials to respect the Constitution.
Commenting on the matter of excluding Professor Cenckiewicz, Tomasz Sakiewicz stated that this is part of a broader political strategy.
“As for the exclusion of Professor Cenckiewicz, this is obviously an attempt at furnishing the president’s office. It is a broad action by the Germans, because we must remember that soon there will be a meeting between President Karol Nawrocki and President Donald Trump. Without the head of the National Security Bureau (BBN), such talks would be extremely difficult.”
Sakiewicz also warned against the consequences of submitting to the decisions of the current government.
“The attempt to force recognition of the government’s decision will mean accepting its direction, that is, subordination to the Germans. Let’s not kid ourselves, during Lech Kaczyński’s time it wasn’t easy either.” He also appealed to public officials: “I appeal to officials not to break the Constitution, because they will be held accountable for it together with Tusk.”
Sakiewicz also addressed Polish aid to Ukraine, emphasizing its initial justification, but at the same time pointing out the need for changes.
“Our aid to Ukrainians was right. It built our image and helped Ukraine in that first period when it was attacked. That does not mean that we will replace the Ukrainian state in relation to Ukrainians. Rationalization must occur so that pathologies do not arise, such as the case of someone receiving 800 Plus without being in Poland. Let’s help Ukraine, but in such a way that this aid is not simply an exploitation of ourselves.”
Sakiewicz also directed strong words to Ukrainians, warning them of the consequences of defending certain aspects of their own history.
“I strongly advise Ukrainians against this matter, because they will lose all moral advantage in this war, and it will turn out that Russia is fighting Nazism. Even acknowledging the context that Ukraine was occupied by the Soviets, the massacre of Poles was carried out under those slogans and banners. The consequences of this ideology are unacceptable not only to Poles but to people of the free world. My family fell victim to the Banderites. I have a terrible problem with this. My grandmother’s brother, Father Walerian Raba, can be a symbol of the possibility of reconciliation, because the Ukrainian who murdered him later apologized. If they defend this history, they will hand Russia a weapon.”
Commenting on internal politics, Sakiewicz criticized the spending of public money. “The shameless use of funds by the ruling party, which financially supports those who support that party.” He also referred to the reaction of the European Union (EU). “The European Union will not voice its opinion on this matter, it will take the money. They will gladly not give it to us and pocket it themselves, because they don’t have money either.”
