Red card in the "Gozdyra Debate." MP lashes out at politicians

" I want to show a red card here ," Krzysztof Mulawa said in "Debata Gozdyry." "I was in Katowice today, I want to talk about this because it's very important. What we hear is just trivia—we can laugh about it, at those truly strange and funny faces, but today farmers, especially miners and steelworkers, actually cut corners during the protests in Katowice," he said.

- They said they want to fight for Poland, fight for energy security and fight for food security of our country - added the MP.

When speaking about the red card, Mulawa was referring to a short clip from the courtroom, where Krzysztof Brejza and Jarosław Kaczyński appeared. They both looked at each other with stone faces, straight in the eye.

The politician appealed for a return to discussing real issues . "Let's stop getting worked up over what Mr. Kaczyński, Mr. Brejza, or anyone else has done. Let's focus on serious matters—the highest energy prices in Europe for industry," he said.

Green Deal in Poland. "Kaczyński is responsible. Tusk is doing nothing about it."

The MP warned that the problem of unstable energy sources is not an ideological issue, but an everyday reality. "We need stable energy, because if we have energy from anything, but it's unstable, you won't be able to go home and dry your hair after a bath, " he explained. "That's how it will be," he assured.

He also addressed the responsibility of politicians in harsh terms. "Mr. Kaczyński is responsible for implementing the Green Deal, and Mr. Tusk is doing nothing about it," Mulawa said.

The guest of Tuesday's "Debata Gozdyra" also explained that mining subsidies stem from flawed assumptions in the EU's emissions trading system. "Do you know why we subsidize mining? Because we established the harmful ETS tax . If we shift this tax to wind farms or photovoltaics, photovoltaics will be the most expensive," he noted.

When host Agnieszka Gozdyra pointed out that Polish coal mining is expensive , Mulawa cited South Korea as an example. "I was in Korea, and Koreans, who are devoid of this ideology, were asked by us, members of parliament from various groups, what the cheapest energy source is in Korea. "Coal, then gas, nuclear, and finally wind. They import coal and have the cheapest energy," he assured.

Finally, Mulawa emphasized that his symbolic "red card" is a warning to the entire political class . "It's time to stop pretending that everything is fine. Poland needs real decisions, not media hype," he said, concluding his appeal.

Protests in Katowice. "They're saving Silesia"

On Tuesday, thousands of people participated in the "Star March" in Katowice. Asked about opposition to the Green Deal, August 80 leader Bogusław Ziętek described it as a "criminal ideology." "It's not really saving the Earth, it's just killing off European societies and the European economy," he said.

As Dominik Kolorz, chairman of the Silesian-Dąbrowa Solidarity trade union, stated in his speech, the demonstration showed that when there's a problem in Silesia, union colors are irrelevant. "We can unite and be together. Only together can we defend Silesia, defend industry, steel mills, coking plants, mines, and the automotive industry. Let all of Poland see, let the government see, that we can't fool around with Silesia," he exclaimed.

" We are fighting for Silesia , we are fighting for Silesian industry, we are fighting for the survival of the Polish steelworks operating in Silesia, the mines, Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa, the coking industry, and the automotive industry. We don't want a repeat of what happened 25 years ago, when the so-called transformation led to poverty in Silesia; we are now staring it in the face," Kolorz said before the march set off from the Spodek Arena.

He argued that unions and demonstrators today are "saving Silesia." He explained that one of the main goals of the demonstrations is to oppose the Green Deal. He diagnosed that all governments since 2007 have been responsible for bringing the Polish steel, mining, energy, arms, and automotive industries to their current "tragic situation."
