"Madam President, I am distancing myself from the utterances of my fellow Member, Konrad Szymański, and associating myself fully with those of Mr Pinior. Poland signed the Sixth Protocol abolishing the death penalty and took upon itself the legal obligation of eradicating this form of punishment from our land. On 17-18 June last year in Luxembourg, European Foreign Ministers, all European Foreign Ministers, including the Polish Foreign Minister, agreed that the European Union should submit a joint draft resolution against the death penalty. What has happened since 17 June to make Poland change its view in September? Obviously it must be the domestic situation, and obviously it must be the elections. But can we say in fact that Poland has changed its view? It is not Poland, it is the Polish government. Poles are not barbarians, they do not accept the death penalty. Poles have stood against the death penalty on many occasions. And I have to say to you, and especially to Mr Szymański, that public opinion polls indicate that 57% of Poles do not want the death penalty. Please remember this when representing Poland, and convey what Polish society thinks, with this trend in mind."@en1
