On Saturday, November 28, another wave of peace people poured through Poland protests. The demonstrations were organized on the 102nd anniversary of gaining voting rights by women. The demonstrations were counted by the police, which hesitated to use direct coercive measures. Officers IDed the participants protests, blocked people who wanted to diverge and even chose to use tear gas. One of the victims was MP Barbara Nowacka, which suffered despite showing the policeman her MP ID.
Małgorzata Trzaskowska at the Women’s Strike protests
Małgorzata Trzaskowska, wife, was also present at the protests the president Warsaw. On her Facebook page, she gave a short account of the demonstration, during which she was locked in a police cauldron. She was held in this way for several hours, and finally she was identified. Trzaskowska refused to accept the mandate, so her case will end in court, she reported on Facebook.
Trzaskowska: I saw shame in the eyes of the policemen
Despite such treatment by the police the woman defended the officers. Trzaskowska believes that the police will eventually start to behave normally and “will stop beating women with clubs, attacking them with gas, stop breaking up demonstrations, separating individual groups of protesters, taking them into a cauldron”. In her opinion, this will happen when the policemen stop working under personal pressure Jaros³aw Kaczyñski.
I saw the shame in the policemen’s eyes. They know we know. They are ashamed because they realize that they are just a blind bayonet in the hands of people who are terrified of losing power.
– wrote Trzaskowska on her profile. The fear in the ruling camp stems from the fact that this time it was not politicians, who were mostly men, who were against it, says Trzaskowska, but women who were fought by the rulers.
They already know how it will end. It’s just a matter of time…
– concludes Trzaskowska.
