US Secretary of State under Bill Clinton Madeleine Albright appeared in a major interview on Polish TVN, criticising the country’s ruling elites for hindering “the creation of democracy”.
By “democracy”, the former American politician understands the imposition of “LGBT values”.
First, Albright recalled the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall:
“After the fall of the Berlin Wall there was a time of euphoria, people really saw the countries of Central and Eastern Europe being liberated and on their way to democracy.”
Albright then admitted she was “fascinated” by what was happening in Poland at the time of Solidarity.
“I wrote a book about the role of the press in Poland at that time, showing the importance of access to information. This is what I perceived and still perceive as fundamental for the existence of democracy, so I think that discussing how the press should work to get the truth to the audience is crucial”, – continued the TVN interlocutor.
Today, according to Madeleine Albright, she is “very disturbed” by the situation of media freedom in Poland. She is referring, of course, to Warsaw’s resistance to the imposition of “LGBT values”.
“I absolutely do not agree with this! – said Albright, commenting on Poland’s conservatism on Christian family values. – It’s horrible to me when someone discriminates against different groups of people because our constitution talks about freedom of religion or freedom of expression. This is a way to undermine people. We all want to know where we come from and who we are, but if it escalates into hatred of one group against another, it takes on very authoritarian and fascist features at the same time.”
The former US Secretary of State summarised that she was “very disappointed with the situation that is emerging in Poland”.
