Its echo does not disappear Statements by Jan Pietrzak on the actions of the German government related to illegal immigrants.
– Here, I have a cruel joke with these immigrants. They hope the Poles are ready because we have barracks. We have barracks for immigrants in Auschwitz, Majdanek, Treblinka, Štutovo. Here we have many barracks built by the Germans. And that's where we'll keep these immigrants who illegally force us Germans. People running for a better world are not outlaws. The government that let them in is illegal. So Germany is illegal. Their slogan, which welcomed the newcomers, was illegal, extra-contractual and inconsistent with the laws. This is an illegal activity of Germany. Next year we have to be sensitive about it, because it seems that they are starting our heads a lot and it annoys me – said the satirist and publicist on Telewizja Republika.
Justice Minister and Attorney General Adam Bodnar said he asked National Prosecutor Dariusz Barski to look into Jan Pietrzak's statements and open an investigation. Earlier, the Racist and Xenophobic Behavior Monitoring Center announced that it had reported on the crimes committed by Pietrzak and Televisa Republika.
