Safjański: The state passed the exam on extinguishing fires, but failed in prevention and communication

The former director of the National Interpol Bureau discusses the decision not to issue a red notice for Paweł Rubcow, emphasizing the importance of not allowing political considerations to influence police actions. He argues that the case is critical for national security due to allegations of espionage for the Russian military. He believes that the police should have submitted the request to Interpol, allowing the organization to assess it rather than preemptively rejecting it. He also addresses the recent violence in schools, linking it to a failure in the system to act on warnings about youth radicalization. The discussion highlights the need for a proactive approach to prevent such incidents and the importance of accountability within the state apparatus.
