Views

[edit]

Pawłowicz has come to international attention for her negative views on same sex marriage and immigration. Her controversial statements are considered to be hate speech by many commentators.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

Pawłowicz is regarded as belonging to the more Eurosceptic wing of the Law and Justice (PiS) party, and has regularly described the European Union, its flag, or both as being a "rag".[8][9][10] In 2009, she called the Treaty of Lisbon an anti-democratic instrument.[11] In June 2013, she said the Union was "worse than communism" and that she was "waiting and praying" for it to disband by itself.[12] In February 2014, she called the Union a "brothel in which everything is permitted".[13] In May 2022, she expressed her desire for the Union to "disappear from the face of the earth";[10][14][15] in August of the same year, she called for the Polish criminal code to be amended so that Polish MEPs and Union employees could face criminal liability for what she called their disloyalty to Poland.[16]

She calls for a “ban [on] 90 percent of today’s abortions”.[17]

In 2013 during a debate of legalising gay marriage she asked “Are sexual ties the only reason why society should finance a barren existence?”[18]

She has accused the German government of deliberately concealing crimes committed by refugees and immigrants.[citation needed]

She accused Jean Claude Juncker of being an alcoholic after his actions during an audience with the Pope.[19]

She has called George Soros the "most dangerous man in the world" on Radio Maryja, a Catholic broadcaster. She said his foundations "finance anti-Christian and anti-national activities."[20]
