"Madam President, Commissioner, Minister, I am obliged to commence this address with a personal reflection. When I was listening, a moment ago, to the speech delivered in this Parliament by Konrad Szymański, representing the Polish right wing, I was reminded of a scene from yesterday’s speech by President Ahmadinejad at New York’s Columbia University. Mr Szymański, your Law and Justice government, the Polish right wing, has placed my country, my homeland, in the company of such countries as Iran and Belarus. President Ahmadinejad yesterday referred with pride to the example of America as a country which is still carrying out the death penalty.
Polish public opinion is outraged that the government in Warsaw has succeeded in blocking the European Union’s Day against the Death Penalty. After all, this is a matter that has united the European Union, it unites European public opinion, it unites European political parties, and it creates a democratic-liberal consensus, regardless of ideological divisions in Europe. I believe that the forthcoming elections in Poland will reveal a Polish society which is determined that the European Union will be able to act together on this issue in the forum of the United Nations with an initiative against the death penalty."@en1
