Statement from the police chief regarding services under the Constitutional Tribunal. "I don't have my consent"

He emphasized that everyone who observed the course of events regarding the Constitutional Tribunal on Friday and Saturday should have no doubt that the presence of policemen was necessary to ensure the safety not only of those inside the Tribunal, but also of the thousands gathered in front of the building.

"We are all aware that the unpredictable scenario of such events may bring a threat resulting not only from the accumulated, often extreme emotions of the crowd, but also from threats coming from outside," General Boroń noted.

The commander assured that all police activities under the Constitutional Tribunal "were fully consistent with applicable law." "Our role is not to assess the functioning of the Tribunal, but to implement the tasks contained in the Police Act. Already its first article indicates that the Police serves society and was established to protect public safety and order, including the protection of human life and health and property, as well as ensuring public order. And it was these premises that guided the activities of the Constitutional Tribunal," he explained.

"As the Chief Commander of the Police, I always guard the law and procedural transparency," he admitted. As he noted, the goals of his activities are social good, protection of police officers and ensuring the safety of citizens. "The formation I lead serves the Republic of Poland and its inhabitants, not anyone's current interests," he added.

I have never and will not allow any of you to be exposed to illegal liability while performing your duties - to turn to the Boroń police officers.

He assured that all officers had his full support. He also thanked them for their professionalism and dedication.

The activities under the Constitutional Tribunal were carried out in accordance with all legal and ethical standards, we read in the letter.

"I do not consent to destroying the sense of security in our country. I am outraged by the fact that such a narrative is also spread by some officers," said General Boroń.

"I appeal to everyone to remember what a huge responsibility for ensuring internal security rests on the Polish Police today. Breaking the unity of the formation and creating internal divisions certainly does not help effectively ensure the security of our homeland," he added.

The announcement of the Police Commander-in-Chief is a response to the open letter of the chairman of the "Police Solidarity" Trade Union, Jacek Łukasik.
