Valdemar Buda, PiS candidate for the European Parliament, was a guest on the “Varcecha Contra” program on the “Super Express” channel on YouTube. At one point, the host asked him a question in English. He emphasized that it was a test of language skills and asked about the difference between the Council of Europe and the Council of the European Union. Waldemar asked Buda to answer in English.
“Not everyone can say”
The European Parliament candidate limited himself to one sentence in which he said there were more important issues than his English. He continued his statement in Polish. – I know the procedures, they are complicated. I think the audience would like to know such a general layer… – he said.
The host interrupted him and asked if he could say anything other than this one short sentence and if he could communicate with politicians from other countries behind the scenes of the European Parliament to “take care of Polish interests”.
Waldemar Buda argued that his English was at a communicative level and that he had no problems in conversations in this language. – However, even if you explain it in Polish and ask the candidates to understand the decision-making process in the European Parliament, not everyone can say it – remember that he defended himself.
The question on EP candidate’s language ability starts at 10 minutes 38 seconds recorded.
The next question, this time in Polish, was well handled by the MP. Łukasz Warzecha asked the guest to start called normal legal procedure. “The European Commission is taking the initiative,” he said. – You know that. I’m glad you answered this question, because I have a feeling that many candidates, probably from your list, won’t be able to answer it – praised the presenter.
