The first foreign visit of @czarzasty.bsky.social, the Marshal of the Sejm – to Berlin. “It's not too late, but we need to wake up. Poland is not safe without Germany, and Germans must believe that they are not safe without Poland.”

When I was in highschool in early 2000s, we still had civil defense classes. It was just about a decade after the Cold War came to an end. We learnt first aid and how to shoot. I would have never thought this knowledge would be of any use again. Strange and sad times we live in.. #Poland
