Polish PM's Spectacular Reply to the Manchester Attack "Europe, Rise from Your Knees Are You'll Be Crying over Your Children Every Day"

The prime minister of Poland has launched a blistering attack on the “political elites” of Europe in the wake of the Manchester terror attack, warning the continent must put in place “strong politicians” willing to tackle the threat or risk “crying over your children”.



Speaking in the Polish Parliament on Wednesday, Beata Szydło seized the moment to launch an excoriating attack on European Union leaders following the Manchester attack which, among others, claimed the lives of a Polish couple, leaving their two daughters as orphans.



“We are not going to take part in the madness of the Brussels elite,” she railed. “We want to help people, not the political elites.



“Where are you headed Europe?” she demanded. “Rise from your knees and from your lethargy or you will be crying over your children every day.



“If you can’t see this – if you can’t see that terrorism currently has the potential to hurt every country in Europe, and you think that Poland should not defend itself, you are going hand in hand with those who point this weapon against Europe, against all of us.



“It needs to be said clearly and directly: This is an attack on Europe, on our culture, on our traditions.”
