My grandfather was killed by history in 1940, my father was killed by a politician in 2010. Mixing history with politics always ends in sacrifices – said Dr. Izabella Sariusz-Skapska in “Fact po Factach”. According to him, “14 years of Macerevich's political activity and the whole party environment have made it so that when people hear Katyn, they really hear Smolensk.”
On Thursday, the Ministry of Defense presented the report of the group that assessed the activities of Antoni Macerevich's subcommittee in Smolensk. According to the head of the Ministry of National Defense, Vladyslav Kosiniak-Kamysh, the team gave a negative assessment of the activity of the subcommittee in terms of all aspects considered, that is, economy, legality, purposefulness and reliability. The Deputy Minister of National Defense, Cesari Tomczyk, announced that based on the report, 41 applications will be submitted to the prosecutor's office, including 24 applications against Antoni Macerevich himself.

– It is a terrible circle of abuse, corruption, arrogance and innocence. The fact that this commission acted in this way is not obvious to me. I was just horrified by the scale and the different elements that I heard – said Dr. Izabella Sariusz-Skapska, president of the board of the Federation of Katyn Families, the daughter of Andrzej Sariusz-Skapski, who died in the Smolensk disaster, in “Facti” po Factach”.
– I think that we live in a law-based state, so some of the things that were presented were immediately prepared as an application to the prosecutor's office. This is a certain automaton. If you and I run a red light and hit the police, we will get a ticket. And here, this violation of the law amounts to millions, he noted
He added that the members of Macerevich's sub-commission “violated the law, cheated and blackmailed”. – There are clauses for this too, – he noted.
“The joint actions of Mr. Macerewicz and Mr. Ziobro were quite clear”
Saryusz-Skapska, when asked about the assessment of the activities of the prosecutor's office headed by Zbigniew Ziob, answered that he “does not differ” from Macerevich.
– I remember the moment when the prosecutor, wrapped in gold like a Christmas tree, entered a law firm that was going to fight to stop the exhumation of our father and proudly announced that he personally sent him here. Mr. Ziobro. In my opinion, the joint action of Mr. Macerevich and Mr. Ziobro was completely clear here, he said. He added that “we don't remember some things today.” – We do not remember that Smolensk families in all cases lost the trials to stop (exhumation – ed.), – she recalled.
– We said, and no one really wanted to believe us, that the exhumation was completed by taking samples and sending them to various laboratories around the world. When we asked why this was done, the prosecutor's office said: because the Polish units responsible for such investigations did not prove themselves anymore, they discredited themselves. In other words, the body parts of our loved ones are somewhere, they are just somewhere. They are considered as evidence in the case, indicated by numbers, they are no longer people – Sariusz-Skapska said.
In her opinion, “if you don't hear this and you don't see this community of hacking methods, it means that these 14 years of propaganda activity of Macerevich and his colleagues had such an impact that we lost a certain person. sensitivity.” – I think we should not allow this, he added.
“Mixing history with politics always ends in casualties.”
Saryusz-Skapska noted that next year the 15th anniversary of the Smolensk disaster will be held in the middle of the presidential campaign.
– Therefore, I can expect that a part of the political scene will heat up this fuel. Here I appeal to another part of the political arena, that is, to those who stabilize the life of my country today, to remember that Smolensk is 96 people, which consists of different political options, from different aspects – she noted. He noted that three days later, April 13, is the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Katyn Massacre.
– Now it hurts me more than anything that Macherevich's 14-year political activity and all circles of this party did everything in such a way that when people hear Katyn, they really hear Smolensk, – he said. According to him, “this is a hot potato phenomenon – if we raise Katyn, Smolensk will appear, it is better not to touch Katyn.”
– I appeal to all political circles that have lost their representatives in the geography of Smolensk to remind them why these people flew there and where. Then he was 70 years old, next year he will be 85 years old, I really wanted to have a memorial to the victims of barbaric murder. And this will also be the moment when the comparison between the plane crash in which my father died and the brutal murder in which my grandfather Boleslav Skapsky died, – he appealed.
He recalled that his grandfather “was a prosecutor, not an officer in the Polish army, and he was killed for that.” – My grandfather was killed by history in 1940, my father was killed by politics in 2010. Mixing history with politics always ends with sacrifices, he said.
