"Mr President, I am charged with handing over to you about 100 000 protests by Poles from Poland and across the world. We are all outraged by the shameful European Parliament resolution vilifying Poland, the Polish people and
the much-loved Catholic radio station with millions of listeners, and making allegations of anti-Semitism, homophobia and racism against us.
The resolution was intended to tarnish my country’s honour, and is already being used for that purpose. Attempts have been made to exert pressure on the European Union to interfere in Poland’s internal affairs. Parliament’s response to these protests will serve as an indicator of the value it places on democracy and tolerance. It will also reveal whether truth can prevail in this House, or if Parliament will simply become a breeding ground for lies.
We shall appeal against this resolution at the European Court of Justice. Three hundred and one Members voted in favour of the resolution, yet we are unaware of any facts that would substantiate the claims it makes. I believe those who supported the resolution base their views on Poland and its people on information drawn from the liberal media, which are hostile to our cause. The Members concerned have never listened to
nonetheless they voted in favour of a document bearing no relation to truth or reality. These signatures therefore constitute a protest."@en1
