Prime Minister Donald Tusk reportedly said:
"We will probably make mistakes or commit acts that, according to some legal authorities, will be inconsistent or not entirely consistent with the provisions of the law, but nothing releases us from the obligation to act every day."
The PM emphasized that it is necessary to act in terms of "militant democracy".
Attorney Bartosz Lewandowski points out that the concept of militant democracy was created in 1937 and was popularized by political scientist Karl Loewenstein.
"The concept of 'militant democracy' assumes that liberal democracies should take necessary steps of any kind (even unconstitutional) against those persons, associations or political parties who - as part of public discourse - formulate slogans questioning the principles of liberal democracy."
"Militant democracy" in theory is supposed to guarantee freedom, but in practice it serves to justify violence and "deprive citizens of civil rights whose views threaten the rule of the "liberal elites" or the revolutionary left."
Lewandowski points out that these actions create second-class citizens.
