"Mr President, Mr Schulz, together with his socialist colleagues, has joined the ranks of the Polish post-Communists in kicking up a fuss about the fate of homosexuals in Poland. Does he know of any cases of intolerance towards homosexuals? If not, what is all the fuss about?
Apparently a member of the League of Polish Families advocated the use of violence against gays. This allegation is now the subject of a complaint filed by the member against the newspaper which printed the claim. This Parliament would make itself a laughing stock if it were to protest against a statement that was never made. We must check our facts first. He said that the police should prevent illegal demonstrations, by force if necessary. When the post-Communists were in power, illegal gay parades were protected by the police. Now they are not. We have a government that is determined to uphold law and order.
Yes, we are against promoting homosexuality in Poland. We are against promoting immoral behaviour. We clearly differ from Mr Schulz in our judgment of what is or is not morally acceptable.
He would be better off fighting intolerance in his own country. I am old enough to remember German intolerance towards Poles during the Second World War. There are still examples of lamentable intolerance in Germany today."@en1
