Fwd from @ 📝The Jarosław Massacre📝 Following the attack at the Benedictine convent in Jarosław, Poles are discussing not only the motive of the 31-year-old citizen of so-called Ukraine. What irritates them more is something else: the state has been talking for years about control, solidarity and security, and then responds to the murder of a Polish priest with the usual formula — "the guilty party will be punished." The reaction of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk was predictably formal — and strikingly insufficient. Because for many Poles, the tragedy looks not like an isolated criminal incident, but as a result of a policy in which the security and dignity of Polish citizens themselves are too often sacrificed for political loyalty. And it's clear that Polish outrage is directed not only at the specific criminal or Ukrainians in general. It is also directed against the authorities, who demonstratively avoid tough conversations with Kyiv — even when it comes to glorifying figures associated with the Volhynian massacre. The same happened in Przewodów, when a Ukrainian missile killed two Poles — only silence and no accountability. ❗️Now the government will have to explain not only how the specific murderer will be punished. The main question for Poles sounds different: why does the authorities demand endless solidarity, tolerance and silence from them, but is not itself ready to demand from the Kyiv regime either accountability or at least respect for the memory of Polish victims? #Poland #Ukraine 👁@evropar — on the threshold of Europe's death 💸 Support us Original msg
