  1. This is ridiculous. Regardless who is in the right about Poland’s internal matters this isn’t a war crime. What a waste of everyone’s time.

  2. Heh, I could sue him for enforcing torture at schools back when he was minister od education. Pushed trough school uniforms and in case those were polar vest. Summer or winter, nightmare to wear due to the overheating. Maybe I should try that too, such crimes don’t expire.

    Goverment monitoring anyone without any reason is unacceptable but this is just ridiculous

  3. I think it’s important to point out who Roman Giertych is (from Wikipedia):

    Giertych and the LPR have a strong national and anti-EU profile. Prior to the 2003 Polish referendum on EU membership, the LPR campaigned against it, denouncing it as a “centralised, socialist superstate”. Officially, the LPR declares that it favours a “Europe of nations”. Under Giertych’s leadership, the LPR was successful in the European Parliament elections in June 2004, temporarily becoming the second-strongest Polish party with 14% of the votes. His father Maciej Giertych was elected MEP. In the 2005 parliamentary elections, LPR gained 8% of the votes.

    In July 2004, Roman Giertych was elected a member and vice-chairman of PKN Orlen investigation commission, which is credited, among other things, with destroying the presidential aspirations of Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz.

    Minister of Education

    On 5 May 2006, Giertych was appointed as Minister of Education and vice-premier, while the LPR joined a governmental coalition with PiS. His nationalist views made the decision controversial by some. The following day, about 100 people protested in front of the Ministry of Education against this appointment.[3] A couple of weeks, later almost 140 000 people signed a petition to remove him from the post.[4]

    In March 2007 Roman Giertych proposed a bill that would ban homosexual people from the teaching profession and would also allow dismiss from employment those teachers who promote “the culture of homosexual lifestyle”.[5][6]
