"I wish to protest to the House about the defamation of Poles and of Poland as a whole. The latter is a country that could serve as a model of multicultural coexistence, in view of the large number of national minorities living alongside the Polish nation.
In the latest report by the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance, Poland is accused of virtual anti-Semitism and discrimination against Roma. The report condemns national movements and singles out
even though the latter attempts to present an objective and truthful picture of reality.
Anti-Semitism has always been foreign to the Christian outlook of Poles, whereas the German Nazis and the totalitarian Soviet regime inflicted physical and moral harm upon millions of people. Ever since Poland regained independence, attempts have been made to blame Poles for this harm.
Even the Jewish Diaspora in Poland objects to the report’s accusations of anti-Semitism. By way of contrast, the report makes no mention of the anti-Polish sentiments that are frequently expressed, in particular in those media outlets that have been bought out by foreign capital.
We therefore demand that the report be corrected and these insults withdrawn."@en1
