[PL]: Gosiewska: Trwa zacieranie śladów

Polish and Russian authorities do their best to hide the truth about Smolensk – says Beata Gosiewska to Fronda.pl.

The more time passes since the catastrophe, the stronger my belief that it was an assassination. What I don’t know is who has carried it out and how. Neither victims’ families nor public haven’t still been said what really happened in Smolensk.

The disinformation campaign has been conducted deliberately since the very first moment after the catastrophe. We were given contradictory pieces of information. Edmund Klich’s statements were sometimes scandalous. He disappeared for some time and then appeared again. The interview with Klich cited by “Gazeta Polska” confirms the information. I’ve heard that three ambulances drove away from the crash site on the signal. Nobody has told us who was transported. I don’t know if my husband wasn’t there. Such news are shocking for the victims’ families. Klich’s words while confronted with the film where the shoots are heard, are meanness. The government with the prime minister lied from the very beginning saying that they wanted to inform us about the investigation progress. They are not doing this and probably they didn’t even intend.

It is also astonishing that during the election campaign an acting president and candidate for president at the same time B. Komorowski revealed the stenographic record from the cockpit, which – according to the experts – had been faked.

Interrogators have never had access to the original black-box records. How can the Polish Prosecutor’s Office clarify anything if it accepted the fact that the Russians are to decide about everything in this investigation? It is even hard to call it an investigation, it’s rather erasing traces, so as nobody would never find out what happened at the Smolensk airport.

What is striking in the whole case is the government calm. They behave as if all of this was arranged by some agreement concluded with Putin. These Putin hugging and the propaganda of good relationships with Moscow are disgusting. I’m aware that both governments are doing their best to never let us know what really happened in Smolensk. The Prosecutor’s Office seems to be waiting till the traces, which could have been found during autopsy, will disappear.

The Tupolev’s wreck has already lost its evidential value. The interrogators deal with any point of the case only when media published it. They decided to play the fool. They pretend that everything is OK, that nothing wrong is going on. They make fools of us. It’s really sad to live in a country where families have no right to know how their relatives died.

The premier’s declarations half a year after the 10 April that he will find out if there were BOR (Government Security Office) officers at the Smolensk airport that day are scandalous. That says the Polish government head who supervises BOR! The government and the interrogators are behaving as if they came from some different world. For me it is clear that they are responsible for the catastrophe. These are not only incompetent but also irresponsible authorities. But for some reason they have the consent of most media.

I don’t believe that current authorities of Poland and Russia want to clarify the 10 April tragedy. I’ve been saying from the beginning that they do not want it, that they’re obliterating traces. What I also find ununderstandable is prosecutor Parulski promotion to general. He has been awarded for conducting the investigation in such a scandalous way. He failed to gain the promotion during the presidency of Lech Kaczyński. But then the president from PO (Civic Platform) comes and prizes him for the way the investigation is conducted. At the same time The Prime Minister talks about the investigation independence. If this is what independence looks like, well… congratulations. For me, what has been done about the catastrophe is sheer illegality.

I’ve been waiting for six months already for the simplest paper – an autopsy protocol. Our relatives were buried against the law. Death certificates are also inconsistent with Polish law. They’re lacking the causes of death. In July I submitted the motion for exhumation. There has been no response. Like to most of other families motions. The motions for access to the secret part of the investigation files were also left unconsidered for months. The interrogators watch what authorities do and do the same. They feel the atmosphere and pretend that they really run the investigation. But I still hope that today technological capacities will let us know the causes of that tragedy one day. After all, the catastrophe happened in broad daylight in the centre of Europe.
