Jerzy Owsiak responds to Ziobro’s words towards Agnieszka Holland. He hopes to stand trial

Echoes of Zbigniew Ziobro’s scandalous words towards Agnieszka Holland’s latest film, Fri. “Green Border”. The Minister of Justice allowed himself to compare the director to propagandists of the Third Reich. Jerzy Owsiak took the floor in the matter, recalling a loud scandal with the participation of TVP, which is considered to be a television subordinated to the authorities.

The film “Green Border” tells a fictional story based on real events on the Polish-Belarusian border in the last two years. The production, in which Maja Ostaszewska plays the main role, has a chance to win the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival – one of the most important events of this type around the world.

The shameful words of the Polish rulers towards the director arouse disgust around the world

Not everyone liked the idea of ​​creating such a film by Agnieszka Holland. Even at the production stage, it was attacked by the national media and politicians of the United Right. Krystyna Pawłowicz allowed herself a perfidious comment, calling the work “a disgraceful reptilian that hunts the families of Poles”. Zbigniew Ziobro, on the other hand, referred to the Third Reich in the context of the director, posting a scandalous post on portal X (formerly Twitter), in which he wrote:

In the Third Reich, the Germans produced propaganda films showing Poles as bandits and murderers. Today they have Agnieszka Holland for that…

The world’s largest media and people of culture reacted to this disgraceful comparison. In “” we read that the comparison of the director and her latest film to the Nazis and their propaganda is extremely ironic due to her previous productions, which were about Jews during World War II and the Holocaust.

In his last post, he recalled the scandals involving the national media.

I will tell you that Nazi propaganda is on public television. An example of this is, among others, Mrs. Piela’s material in the “Mimienna 20” program about the activities of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. Mrs. Piela’s plasticine world is a vivid copy of the Nazi propaganda from the 1930s. I fought for the good name of the foundation, but the court in no way recognized my case. Let me remind you, Mr. Ziobro, of the famous case of blurring the heart of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity on the jacket of a TV news guest – we read.

“You played the Nazi card, which fits incredibly well into the modern language of the ruling team. It is vile, terrifying and full of fear for the near future. Like many, many people, I also signed the letter defended by Agnieszka Holland. And I’ll tell you briefly – enough of this bloody and terrifying language. I hope that after October 15, you will explain yourself to an independent Polish court for every such vile word you say, “said Owsiak.

He ended his post with a memory of Agnieszka Holland’s visit to the Academy of Fine Arts, accompanying the Pol’and’Rock Festival. “Your meeting was one of those that can build people’s faith in creating mutual good. Thank you again!” he concluded.
