"Mr President, Mr Roszkowski and I requested that Parliament should commemorate and pay tribute to the officers that were brutally and deliberately murdered in Katyn in April 1940 in an act of terrorism by the Soviet NKVD, the People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs. We received an answer from the President of Parliament saying that we must never forget dates and tragedies of this kind that are part of our history, and I am much obliged to him for this. At the same time, however, he informed us that the Bureau had decided not to hold a minute’s silence for the victims of this crime, and I find this most regrettable. Before I make a proposal to the House, I should therefore like to use ten seconds of my speaking time to pay tribute to the officers who died in Katyn and to their families. Other Members may wish to join me in observing this silence.
Mr President, I propose that Parliament proclaim 5 March the day of the fight against all kinds of totalitarianism. Stalin’s gang took this barbaric genocide decision on 5 March 1940."@en1
