He was accompanied by party figures including Antoni Macierewicz, Zbigniew Bogucki, and S\u0142awomir Cenckiewicz.<\/p>\n<p>The PiS leader accused the authorities of using protesters to mask scandals, claiming the government utilizes &#8220;the worst social scum&#8221; to mock the law and disrupt the commemorative events.<\/p>\n<h4>Demands for an &#8220;Alternative Guard&#8221;<\/h4>\n<p>Kaczy\u0144ski criticized the police for their lack of intervention, describing the current force as &#8220;thugs of the ruling party.&#8221; He vowed that a future government would replace existing structures with a &#8220;citizen guard&#8221; to ensure order.<\/p>\n<p>He further suggested that authorities failing to maintain order would face investigations to determine if they were acting on their own or under the influence of foreign powers, including Russia.<\/p>\n<h4>Threats of Judicial and Political Purge<\/h4>\n<p>The former prime minister warned that upon regaining power, his administration would implement strict bans on approaching the Smolensk monuments.
