Transcript:
00:41 | Marek Jurek, thank you for agreeing to this interview. We are at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. | |
00:45 | You are a Polish European representative, and a former president of the Polish Parliament. | |
00:49 | Could you please tell us a couple of words about yourself for our audience? | |
00:53 | For our French-speaking audience, which perhaps doesn’t know you | |
00:58 | very well. —Yes. I started my political work | |
01:02 | at the end of the seventies; | |
01:06 | it was completely different at that time. It was a movement of young Poles, | |
01:10 | a secret movement, the first movement of Catholic youth, | |
01:14 | a right-wing political movement; and now here | |
01:19 | to jump to the end of my work: I working on the commission | |
01:23 | of the exterior, the commission of civil liberties, | |
01:27 | the commission for defense; I am a member | |
01:31 | of the conservative group in Poland; I preside | |
01:35 | at the Right of the Republic — it’s a Catholic party | |
01:39 | of the independent right; which is called in France the “other right”. | |
01:43 | But you are nevertheless more or less associated with PiS [Law and Justice party]; | |
01:47 | how come? You were elected from the common list, I think? — We were | |
01:51 | in coalition; our colleges from PiS | |
01:55 | preferred to work alone, so | |
02:00 | we are an independent party, but of course we defend | |
02:04 | all the good initiatives by the government when it is attacked by | |
02:08 | the liberal opposition and by foreign institutions, of course. | |
02:12 | You mention the EU, among other things | |
02:16 | the PiS government, which when elected at the end of 2015 was very strongly criticized | |
02:20 | by the EU; there were even quite hysterical debates in the European Parliament. | |
02:24 | The liberal opposition is also pretty hysterical. They blocked | |
02:28 | the Parliament for several weeks, the Polish Parliament. So how do you | |
02:33 | see all those attacks against the initiatives | |
02:37 | of the new Polish government? —I think | |
02:41 | the Polish government was attacked in the same way | |
02:45 | that last year the Hungarian government [was attacked], because | |
02:49 | the liberal establishment, left wing liberal, | |
02:53 | of the EU doesn’t accept the right wing governments of Central Europe, | |
02:57 | because for us the first societal priority | |
03:02 | was: to change society after a long | |
03:06 | period of communist slavery. Because | |
03:10 | the countries that were part of | |
03:14 | the free world after WW2, often consider communism | |
03:18 | an authoritarian regime, a political dictatorship. | |
03:22 | This is absolutely false: because it was a totalitarian system | |
03:26 | that completely wrecked life of society | |
03:30 | and that destroyed old organisms | |
03:34 | of the social communities, replacing them with false elites | |
03:39 | by a dominant class, which, in the end, as we say, | |
03:43 | changed the ID of the communist party | |
03:47 | into a control at the dentist [word play lost in translation]; membership in the communist party | |
03:51 | into membership in the board of directors | |
03:55 | of big companies. So, in Hungary, | |
03:59 | in Poland, in many other countries of | |
04:04 | Central Europe, we need to change society deeply, for example by reestablishing free speech: | |
04:12 | the real condition of public debate. Because with the concentration of the media | |
04:20 | of the same type, that is completely | |
04:24 | tied to the liberal establishment | |
04:28 | of the Left, we didn’t have the conditions | |
04:32 | for a true debate, for the criticism of the government, for example, or for | |
04:36 | defending the government if we won the elections. | |
04:41 | So the measures | |
04:45 | taken by the Hungarian government were totally | |
04:49 | Legitimate, and, in the name of free speech, | |
04:53 | they should have to be supported by Western countries. | |
04:57 | Unfortunately, they were attacked. It was similar with the change | |
05:01 | in Poland, because Polish people decided | |
05:05 | to change the government, to break up with | |
05:09 | the liberal system, | |
05:14 | Decided to turn the country towards conservative values, | |
05:18 | towards the reinforcement of our sovereignty. | |
05:22 | And it’s not only the question of | |
05:26 | the choice of the Law and Justice party. Because | |
05:30 | it’s not only a question of the PiS government. | |
05:34 | Because this trend of change, represented for example by the movement of | |
05:38 | Paweł Kukiz, who won three million votes | |
05:43 | in the presidential election and over a million in the | |
05:47 | parliamentary elections. The list of Mr. [unintelligible]and Mikke | |
05:51 | and others, so the big majority of | |
05:55 | the country voted for the right. And of course | |
05:59 | it was totally contested by | |
06:03 | the EU establishment, | |
06:07 | the liberal establishment of the majority | |
06:12 | of the countries of the Western Europe. —Exactly | |
06:16 | this non-liberal turn, to use the expression used by Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbán, | |
06:20 | that we saw a little later in Poland, was it | |
06:24 | precisely the symbol of the failure of liberalism, | |
06:28 | of the opening to capitalism in the countries former members of the Warsaw Pact, | |
06:32 | and also the symbol of the failure of the promises | |
06:36 | of the adhesion to the EU, since those countries | |
06:41 | hoped, Poland and the others, hoped for a better standard of living | |
06:45 | and so on, and in the end the balance sheet isn’t that good? — We are very | |
06:49 | attached to our freedom, to freedom in all the areas. | |
06:53 | Freedom of speech, political freedom, especially | |
06:57 | economic freedom; now freedom alone | |
07:01 | is the foundation of common good, because all the… | |
07:05 | everybody… every community that belongs to the EU | |
07:09 | national community has to be the owner of its own freedom. | |
07:14 | Liberalism rather negates the common good. | |
07:18 | Therefore our choice | |
07:22 | was a choice of sovereignty and the rejection of | |
07:26 | permanent intrusion, interference from the EU | |
07:30 | on the direction of our policies, in areas such as, for example, | |
07:34 | immigration, because a for the last couple of months before the elections | |
07:38 | we witnessed a constant pressure | |
07:43 | to impose the migration policy, not only the migration policy, | |
07:47 | but also the multicultural model that was forced on the people | |
07:51 | of Western Europe, also on our country and other countries | |
07:55 | of Central Europe. Of course | |
07:59 | it’s the choice of the natural law of defense of | |
08:03 | the values of life, of family, that are totally | |
08:07 | not only questioned but negated, for example | |
08:12 | by the institution of the EU, | |
08:16 | and of course, as I said, it was rejection of | |
08:20 | post-communism, so the choice of the social change | |
08:24 | that has to reinforce the freedom of Polish people. So it wasn’t our rejection of liberalism, | |
08:32 | it was the rejection of a system | |
08:37 | that has no mandate, especially not in our country, | |
08:41 | to bring up the values of freedom, because | |
08:45 | it represents rather a domination | |
08:49 | By the establishment talking about freedom, | |
08:53 | when it wants to destroy the natural community, | |
08:57 | the sovereign competency of the state, | |
09:01 | or the principal of natural law. | |
09:05 | And we are the ones defending freedom. | |
09:10 | Exactly. Last year there was a lot of talk about the law that was in fact | |
09:14 | a citizen initiative, to make access to abortion more difficult, | |
09:18 | finally it was rejected by the government, it made a lot of noise, | |
09:22 | perhaps even more in the international press | |
09:26 | than in Poland, I don’t know; how do you see | |
09:30 | the blow which was delivered against this project? — I think that | |
09:34 | protection of life is necessary for every society, because it is | |
09:38 | the first of our freedoms: | |
09:43 | The freedom to be born. | |
09:47 | Because all life starts with | |
09:51 | conception, | |
09:55 | but it is conditioned by the act of birth | |
09:59 | Therefore the defense of the unborn baby | |
10:03 | is a movement and a legal solution necessary | |
10:07 | for a civilized society. | |
10:12 | And of course it’s a negation of the today’s barbarism, but it’s morally necessary. | |
10:20 | Concerning the Right of the Republic party, we were totally in solidarity | |
10:24 | with the initiative Stop Abortion, | |
10:28 | with their popular initiative, and we are very disappointed | |
10:32 | that unfortunately the majority of our politicians, | |
10:36 | raised under the pressure of the EU Parliament | |
10:41 | and of the foreign pressure at the same time, that they surrendered | |
10:45 | before that black revolution that was organized | |
10:49 | in Poland. And I think that unfortunately | |
10:53 | the beginning of this failure was in the realm | |
10:57 | of ideas, because many politicians said that | |
11:01 | The question of the right to live | |
11:06 | was a very important demand but | |
11:10 | Concerned the individual conscience, | |
11:14 | the subjective individual conscience. | |
11:18 | We’re convinced that it’s a question of | |
11:22 | the clear disposition of every healthy conscience, | |
11:26 | so unfortunately… we should have defended life, | |
11:30 | and not surrendered before that revolution supported | |
11:34 | by foreign countries, but the fight isn’t over, because | |
11:39 | we will carry on, since Poland resisted | |
11:43 | the civilization of the death since 1956, when the abortion law | |
11:47 | was imposed by the communists in our country. | |
11:51 | So another subject that causes talk about Poland is the migration question, | |
11:55 | with the questions of quotas for the settlement of migrants and so on, | |
11:59 | which in fact reinforced or almost re-launched the Visegrad Group | |
12:03 | the association among Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary that had been | |
12:08 | almost non-existent for the last couple of years. What perspectives | |
12:12 | do you see for cooperation between those four countries of Central Europe? | |
12:16 | I think that we have efficiently blocked that | |
12:20 | policy of administrative distribution | |
12:24 | of immigrants to different European countries. It’s very clear now that unfortunately | |
12:32 | this migratory flow was inspired by politicians | |
12:36 | from Germany, from the EU, | |
12:41 | because for example the declaration by Mr. Juncker, the president of the | |
12:45 | European Commission, who said many times that we have to open | |
12:49 | the legal routes for migration, | |
12:53 | that we have to prepare those routes, | |
12:57 | it was a sort of promise | |
13:01 | to legalize illegal immigration. | |
13:05 | So it was certainly the inspiration for those wretched people | |
13:10 | to be manipulated and used by | |
13:14 | the illegal immigration mafia, | |
13:18 | this great business in Libya, | |
13:22 | in other countries, which we are now sure | |
13:26 | is often also manipulated by the Islamic State, | |
13:30 | the Caliphate of the Islamic State; so it’s also | |
13:35 | a very serious danger to European security. | |
13:39 | But generally I think that we should always | |
13:43 | live with a spirit of compassion, | |
13:47 | but also of responsibility. Because those people were | |
13:51 | encouraged in that illegal immigration, | |
13:55 | which was inspired by the establishment in the dominant countries | |
13:59 | in Europe, and by the direction of the EU. | |
14:03 | Fortunately the governments of the Central European countries, | |
14:08 | especially the four countries of the Visegrad Group, | |
14:12 | we organized an efficient resistance | |
14:16 | up till now, against that policy of | |
14:20 | administrative protection, of multiculturalism. | |
14:24 | We never contest | |
14:28 | individual immigration, because those are individual cases. | |
14:33 | We contest this societal model, | |
14:37 | which negates the identity of Western European people | |
14:41 | that was imposed by the establishment | |
14:45 | of this country. We are — in a very aware way — rejecting this | |
14:49 | societal model. What is interesting in Central Europe is | |
14:53 | that the Visegrad Group countries are today ruled by | |
14:58 | representatives of different European political “families”, because | |
15:02 | in the Czech Republic we have a liberal government, in Slovakia | |
15:06 | a leftist government, in Poland a government | |
15:10 | associated with European Conservative Association, | |
15:14 | in Hungary a Christian Democratic government. | |
15:18 | Those are… this is the entire European political landscape | |
15:22 | from left to right, but who — | |
15:27 | in Central Europe— reject, | |
15:31 | refuse to copy | |
15:35 | this social model which was unfortunately | |
15:39 | recklessly approved in Western Europe. | |
15:43 | I’m saying “recklessly”, because, for example | |
15:47 | I am sure that the current situation | |
15:51 | in France, in Germany was never | |
15:55 | the object of a democratic vote. It was an evolution | |
16:00 | while public opinion was anaesthetized | |
16:04 | for decades. Now we have a situation | |
16:08 | that is extremely difficult for those countries; | |
16:12 | that we understand very well, but we haven’t copied this social model, because | |
16:16 | we have many things to fix in our country, many difficulties | |
16:20 | that still exist, caused by | |
16:24 | our experience of almost half a century of Soviet domination. | |
16:28 | So the last subject that is important for Poland | |
16:32 | in the recent news is the election of Donald Trump in the USA, | |
16:36 | which could potentially have two major influences | |
16:40 | on Poland: that there would be perhaps less intense foreign pressure | |
16:44 | concerning social questions, where the government | |
16:48 | will be willing to start different reforms; the other effect | |
16:53 | on the Polish government is that the future president Trump quite clearly declared that | |
16:57 | he was considering reducing the financial participation of | |
17:01 | the USA in NATO, the system of common defense, and | |
17:05 | giving that relations between Poland and Russia are still very complicated, | |
17:09 | I would like to have your opinion concerning the prospects we can perhaps expect for Poland, | |
17:13 | also in the case of relations between Europe and Russia, | |
17:18 | as a result of the election of Mr Trump. —Of course | |
17:22 | what happened in America is analogous with | |
17:26 | the changes in Poland and in Hungary, because it was a fall of the progressive establishment, | |
17:34 | which was rejected by the people | |
17:38 | in favor of conservative values. If it’s about the personal presidential policy | |
17:42 | of the new American president, it’s always an open question. | |
17:47 | You asked about our activity in | |
17:55 | the context of NATO: We are one of four | |
17:59 | European countries whose | |
18:03 | financial contributions | |
18:07 | are proportional in terms of defense, so | |
18:11 | I am sure that we will keep | |
18:15 | strong ties — in the area of defense — | |
18:20 | with the United States concerning | |
18:24 | the demands that other countries contribute more | |
18:28 | for the common defense, which are totally understandable. | |
18:32 | Concerning the Russian question, it’s — | |
18:36 | we will see, it’s the country that annexed Crimea. | |
18:40 | It’s a situation with no precedent | |
18:44 | in Europe, at least in Continental Europe. After being — | |
18:48 | after a second war… no, Kosovo was a separation; | |
18:53 | it was a separation I was against. | |
18:57 | I was partisan for absolutely keeping | |
19:01 | the disposition of the decision of the UN | |
19:05 | for the autonomy of Kosovo, and not for proclaiming it an independent state… | |
19:09 | but what happened in Kosovo was a pretext | |
19:13 | for the Russian invasion of Georgia, | |
19:17 | which created satellite political organisms. | |
19:22 | But Crimea is an annexation. | |
19:26 | We mentioned the invasion of Georgia. | |
19:30 | We are watching Moldova | |
19:34 | the Dniester region. So Russia is a country that | |
19:38 | didn’t approved of the political consequences of the disappearance of the Soviet Union. | |
19:42 | President Putin declared, “It was the greatest political tragedy | |
19:47 | of the 20th century”: the fall of the Evil Empire. | |
19:51 | So I think that we need to still | |
19:55 | stay in solidarity and show caution | |
19:59 | towards Russia, but this week we present | |
20:03 | with my friend Ujazdowski our initiative in the Polish press | |
20:07 | addressing also the new American policy. | |
20:11 | We expect | |
20:16 | from the United States of America | |
20:20 | either an efficient military solidarity, or initiatives that would diminish | |
20:28 | Russian military pressure on Poland: for example the talks about | |
20:36 | the demilitarization of the region of Königsberg, | |
20:40 | Królewiec, which is called Kaliningrad | |
20:44 | in Russian. But our ministry, | |
20:49 | our liberal government | |
20:53 | decided that in our diplomatic language use | |
20:57 | we wouldn’t the name Kaliningrad, | |
21:01 | because Kalinin was one of the signatories | |
21:05 | of the decision concerning the massacre [of 5000 Polish officers in WW2] at Katyń. | |
21:09 | So we don’t think he was a person who deserves | |
21:13 | to be commemorated in the name of an important European town. But I think that we need to talk. | |
21:22 | This region is a part of Russia, but the density | |
21:26 | of military forces, or even the possibility | |
21:30 | of using the nuclear weapons in that region, | |
21:34 | is a great danger, not only for our region, but also for | |
21:38 | European security. So we think that we need to either defend | |
21:42 | Central Europe against Russian pressure, or | |
21:47 | talk with Russians concerning the decrease | |
21:51 | of military pressure on our region, because | |
21:55 | our national aspiration, for half a century, when | |
21:59 | we resisted communist domination, | |
22:03 | was independence and peace, and we | |
22:07 | want simply live in peace and security. | |
22:11 | So you are a proponent of dialogue with Russia, and not | |
22:16 | of an escalation, never-ending conflict, of tension. | |
22:20 | What do you think, how could a balanced dialogue be established, | |
22:24 | that could also satisfy | |
22:28 | Aspirations for the defense of Poland? —We expect from Russia | |
22:32 | an acceptance of the independence | |
22:36 | of the states that were born after | |
22:40 | the disintegration of the Soviet Union. | |
22:44 | Because if Russia doesn’t want | |
22:49 | to be identified with the Soviet Union, | |
22:53 | it has to break with this illegitimate legacy | |
22:57 | of the Empire that was | |
23:01 | a prison of peoples. | |
23:05 | I think that in Europe we have to be unanimous | |
23:09 | concerning this topic. —Thank you. —Thank you. |
Well at least this politician has no illusions as to what the EU is really up to.
EACH RELIGION IS THE CONTROL SYSTEM OF ITS SOCIETY. A PRIMITIVE VIOLENT SOCIETY CREATES A PRIMITIVE VIOLENT RELIGION.

I guess you must be a two finger only typist?
Your post would have been easier on the eyes if it had been in paragraph form, but your message has certainly resonated with me.
And in reply; Nous devons tous etre en garde!
Nemesis, you know better: this is an English language website. If it hadn’t been up so long and were I not so tired, I’d have deleted the comment.
Please don’t, because it gives an understanding of the angst that others are certainly feeling in a language of their own.
I don’t mind translating for my own needs, maybe others could look up the internet for their translations?
he might be right in everything he says here, but you need to know, that mr.Jurek is a Catholic equivalent of the Taliban. he’s anti gay, pro church, he voted to impose teaching religion in public schools. when an underage rape victim was about to have a resulting pregnancy aborted, he organised protests to try to stop that. he’s not a good role model.
and this is part of the problem: no reasonable political center. we get to choose between far-right with their religious bigotry, and far-left with the religious fanatics they support.
At some point in your thinking, you must assess which is worse, the Taliban with its 1400 years of terror or the Church of Rome, with its dying adherence?
I know which system I would be choosing for my own longevity.
We live in a time or extremes. The center cannot hold – in fact, there is no center anymore. So you get to choose your bigotry, hoping it is less damaging than the other side’s bigotry. You don’t have to like it, though. Would I prefer this Jurek’s ideas to those of the 32-gendered, essentially useless fragile snowflakes? Yes, but I don’t like it.
But that depends what you mean by center. Right now the center moved so much to the left that the former middle is present-day right.
As of Mr. Jurek he is not even close to the Taliban. He does not likes gay marriages, so what is wrong with that? Do you mean that everyone has to be FOR gay marriages? But he does not say “kill gays” like the Taliban does. You also tell us that he is for catholic church. My question to you is “What is wrong with that?” Would you claim that it is wrong to be for Orthodox Judaism? I am sure you would not say that. So what is wrong if someone is for Catholic faith?.
I agree. There is nothing wrong with a society which is held together by Catholicism. It’s a foundation of healthy, strong Christian values. And yes, in such a society certain things like gay marriage, or abortion wouldn’t be allowed, but who’s to say that would be a shortcoming for a society?
I don’t see how a reasonable political center should be a goal for any society. You can make compromises and concessions on little things but there has to be a core that never gets compromised otherwise what do the people really have to hold on to?
A society based on reasonableness and a middle of the road approach is going to drift in the wind and be susceptible to all kinds of nonsense and moral sickness. There has to be an anchor there somewhere. I’m not arguing on behalf of Catholicism above other choices, only that it is one of the good choices.
I get the feeling that the Taliban would not just protest the rape victim’s abortion – but would actively want to punish her… for adultery!
Also that the Taliban would not just be “anti-gay”… but would actively be throwing them off tall buildings.
And also that the Taliban would not just be “teaching religion in public schools” – but teaching one religion, hate to all other religions, and explaining the brutal penalties which await for converting to another religion, or for a woman who decides to marry a man of another religion.
To summarise – if Poland’s “Taliban” are the likes of Marek Jurek, then it can’t be too bad a place to be 🙂
Please don’t type in all capitals. It becomes unreadable.
It is also mostly in French, a further issue of readability. I guess it just got by. But most people simply skip the ALL CAPS messages. They are supposed to represent great anger – i..e., SCREAMING.
Gee, you’re up late, or an early riser?
Couldn’t sleep. Facing a root canal today. So I’m now on my way back to bed.
Dymphna – Fear not the root canal. The technology is so far beyond what they had in the 70s, it’s barely more now than any other dental procedure. Gone are the jarring pain and rivulets of blood.
I’m fortunate in my dentist. He travels world-wide teaching microscopic dentistry. That procedure means he never has patients with post-op problems. Even his hygienists use the technique to clean teeth. They say it’s a learning curve but now they wouldn’t go back.
For me, the trip in and back is very tiring, but at this time of year, all the redbuds and dogwoods are in bloom and the azaleas are warming up for their turn.
I wonder how the politicians in the West would respond had they been invaded by millions of people who were all atheists, and were intent on spreading their ideology throughout the various Countries that showed them nothing but assistance and kindness, and in return they behaved like uncouth savages with a grand sense of entitlement?
They’d react just about like they are now.
These “immigrants” serve an economic purpose.
