During a session of the Polish Parliament, MP Przemysław Czarnek of the PiS party claimed that Polish citizens were violently attacked by German law enforcement during a protest related to border security. Czarnek referenced an incident involving members of the Border Defence Movement and alleged a brutal response from German police. This statement ignited a heated debate within the Sejm, with interventions from fellow parliamentarians Krzysztof Paszyk, Roman Giertych, and Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. The discussion centered on the alleged assault and the broader implications for Polish-German relations. Czarnek, a candidate for Prime Minister, framed the incident as an attack on Polish patriots. Details of the Berlin incident and independent verification of the claims remain unclear. The parliamentary exchange highlights growing tensions surrounding border security and the treatment of Polish citizens abroad.
