Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has criticized protests across the country against abortion restrictions, announcing a harsh response "to barbarism, vandalism and aggression".
Morawiecki has asked for the help of the army and in a message on youtube expresses fear of the escalation of social tension and addresses the "wisdom of the silent majority".
"Do not scare us with the army on the streets: if necessary, we will do the lockdown".
Marta Lempart, of the women's organization "The women's strike", thus replies to the Polish premier, who has asked for the help of the military to face protests in Poland against the severe restrictions on abortion.
Lempart has called on Poles to protest since last Thursday, after the decision of the Constitutional Court on the termination of pregnancy, now prohibited even in the case of serious malformations of the fetus.
"We must defend the Church. I invite all members of the Pis and all our sympathizers to contribute to the defense of the churches, which today, for the first time in the history of Poland, are attacked".
This was stated by Jaroslaw Kaczynski, leader of the ruling party Pis and deputy prime minister of the executive with delegation to the inter-ministerial committee for security.
"The time has come when we must know how to say no to those who want to destroy us. Let's defend Poland", says the Deputy Prime Minister.
