Przywracanie rządów prawa jest naszym obowiązkiem. Po latach pisowskiego bezprawia to proces trudny, czasem bolesny i wymaga zdecydowanego działania. Innej drogi nie ma.

Poland has come too far and accomplished too much to let political differences, no matter how strongly felt, put any of that at risk."
