Kierwiński on motives for Kraków attack
Interior and Administration Minister Marcin Kierwiński said on TVN24 that every potential motive for the actions of the 24-year-old perpetrator of the attack in Kraków must be thoroughly investigated. According to wiadomosci.wp.pl, the minister stressed in a conversation on "Fakty po faktach" that he will not pass judgement or prejudge the causes of the crime.
The discussion included the possibility of the perpetrator's fascination with far-right ideologies — a thread that Kierwiński had mentioned the day before. The minister explained that his previous statement referred to the initial leads available to the authorities, not to final findings. "In cases like this, first hypotheses and initial information always emerge," he said.
Kierwiński stressed that the police are actively conducting the investigation. "We are not passing any judgement here. Every potential motive, every potential circumstance must be checked," he added in response to a journalist's question about whether he was presenting unconfirmed information. "The police are investigating these leads. I am saying this with full responsibility," he emphasised.
The minister highlighted the significance of the case for public debate. "We are dealing with a terrible crime, a terrible murder. This is all a very heated matter," he said, adding that every hypothesis put forward by investigators must be verified. At the same time, he stated that he does not wish to provoke unnecessary political emotions.
