Polish police chief responds to his officers: "Everything was legal" After the "Police Solidarność" union warned against the breakdown of moral and legal doubts about the operation in the Constitutional Court, police chief Major General Marek Boronen sent a letter to all police officers. He opens it by quoting the police oath, "to faithfully serve the nation," the same oath opposition MPs have been reminding police officers of all weekend. His main points: The police presence at the court on Friday and Saturday was "necessary" to protect the people inside and the crowds outside. All police actions were "in full compliance with the law." "Our role is not to evaluate the functioning of the court. " "I have never allowed, and will not allow, any of you to be exposed to illegal liability" for the performance of his work. On the leaked order that put the riot squads on full alert between November 2 and 8, he says it is "not related" to the court. Its real purpose: preparation for "attempts to destabilize our country carried out by services from the East. "The fact that it was sent the day before the court takeover, he says, "doesn't give anyone the right to create a false narrative. He also says he is "outraged" that this "narrative" is being spread by some of his officers, and warns that "breaking the unity of the formation" does not help Poland's security. So: the government blames the Russian robots, Sikorsky blames Russian propaganda, and now the police chief blames "services from the east. ".
