Views are one thing, actions are another? Mentzen to the Deputy Head of the Ministry of National Defence: I will not make a clown of myself

Deputy Minister of Defense Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka engaged in a brief exchange with Sławomir Mentzen regarding participation in the 'wGotowości' training program. This initiative aims to prepare citizens for potential crises, including the war in Ukraine. Mentzen declined to participate, stating he would not act like a clown, despite advocating for mandatory military training for 19-year-old men. He criticized the suspension of compulsory military service as a mistake. Additionally, Mentzen mocked the recruitment of women into the police force, prompting a former police officer to invite him to physical fitness tests, which he did not respond to.
