Mateusz Morawiecki questioned how it is possible that “someone goes to prison less for torturing a child than for fraud” and added via Facebook that he is “in favor of reinstating the death penalty for the most violent criminals”.
Poland’s conservative nationalist Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki proposed on Wednesday the death penalty for particularly heinous crimes after the death of a little boy from abuse.
Mr Morawiecki questioned how it was possible that “someone goes to prison less for torturing a child than for fraud” and added via Facebook that “I personally support the reinstatement of the death penalty for the most violent criminals”.
Poland’s prime minister had already come out in favor of reinstating the death penalty earlier this year.
He returned to the subject after the revelation of a crime that shocked the country.
On Monday, Kamil, 8, who lived in Czestochowa, succumbed to his very serious injuries at a pediatric hospital in Katowice. The child was taken to the hospital by his biological father.
Doctors determined that the child had suffered burns to the head, torso and limbs and multiple fractures. The main suspect, according to authorities, is the child’s stepfather. The stepfather and mother have been arrested.
Reports in Polish media insist that both the school and the welfare service, which were in contact with the family, did not realize that the child was in danger.
The punishment for the crime must be “severe, dissuasive and proportionate to the crime”, argued Mr Morawiecki, judging that anyone who commits such horrific crimes against a child must be a “monster”.
