Dominik Tarczyński on immigration and Poland

by Pavellim: Dominik Tarczyński

The question that lands hardest isn't about policy, it's about a daughter. Dominik Tarczyński says he wants his future daughter to live, not become a victim of rape and murder. That's the reason he gives for not supporting immigration, and he turns it back on the interviewer: is that not enough? Isn't that a sufficient reason? He also claims plenty of people across Europe share that view. When the interviewer calls Poland "fairly" protected on immigration, Tarczyński pushes back on the word. Fairly doesn't cut it, he says. Zero illegal migrants, none let in, not a single one. Zero, zero. The hedge is the thing he won't accept. Then comes the fear question. Is he acting out of fear of what may come? No, he says. Poland isn't afraid, it's smart. He calls its people brave and strong, says they don't engage in political correctness and don't give a damn about it, and that they take care of their families. The whole exchange is reported as an interview, and he's the one making the claims.
