If it is true, as President Kaczynski has repeatedly stated, that there is no
place for anti-Semitism and racism in today's Poland, immediate and long-term
measures need to be taken, among them:
* Roman Giertych should be removed from the position of Education
Minister. The leader of a party steeped in anti-Semitism and intolerance
should not be influencing education policy and curricular reform in a
democratic country which is also a member state of the European Union.
* Andrzej Lepper should issue a statement forcefully condemning
anti-Semitism and return the honorary doctorate conferred upon him by MAUP.
Both Lepper and Giertych should announce their commitment to take disciplinary
action against members of their parties who promote hate or incite hate crimes.
* The provisions of the Polish Constitution and Penal Code which deal with
racism and anti-Semitism should be fully implemented. Radio Maryja, which has
consistently violated these provisions by broadcasting hate speech, should be
held to account in a court of law. The station should not receive funds from
individuals whose racist and anti-Semitic activities are in breach of Polish law.
* Poland's leaders should stop giving Radio Maryja legitimacy. They should
refuse to appear on its programs until such time as the station offers an
explicit commitment to stop broadcasting hate speech.
* Poland's government should renew its commitment to promoting a tolerance
agenda in education, the media and other sectors.
