“We want to expand arms production. We need this in times of war on our borders,” said Jarosław Kaczyński in Huta Stalowa Wola.
The President of Law and Justice spoke to workers at the Stalowa Wola plant at a meeting.
Let me start in an unusual way. I feel a certain emotion, because I haven’t been in the factory hall for a long time. But it’s not like I haven’t been in my life. 35 years ago I was at the Gdańsk shipyard, a total of several weeks, during two strikes. I’ve been to many other factories. It was a place where we, together with others, made this great effort to create the greatest social movement in the history of Poland, Europe and perhaps the world, namely “Solidarity”. It was the most important experience of my generation. And here was one of the strongholds of “Solidarity”, so I feel moved and thank you for this invitation. Thank you also for inviting me to this special moment. The moment when you manage to solve difficult problems that at some point had to be tackled
he said.
Conversations with “Solidarity”
Then President Kaczyński spoke about talks with representatives of “Solidarity” about seniority pensions and increases.
These conversations paid off, though they weren’t easy. It refers to the great events of August 1980. The way is opened to what lies between these 21 points, namely trainee pensions. This road is open. It’s difficult, but very important. It is very important for Polish workers, for Poles and for something more difficult to grasp (…) to a certain kind of tradition, memory that we need so that our nation, Poland, can reach back and those who make the older a part of society remembers. At one point it was about 10 million people. It’s worth remembering. We will make a decision about the future in October. May Poland take advantage of its development opportunities, opportunities for every Polish family, opportunities to catch up with rich EU countries, opportunities for us to finally stand on both feet, without any complexes. Or can we not take advantage of these opportunities and the system will return to Poland. A very unfair and very inefficient system. When he returns, it will be the role some have assigned us, the role of cheap labour, a place to build warehouses, factories with simpler equipment. We’ve been working it out for the past eight years and this steel mill is an example of that
– he said.
Jarosław Kaczyński also drew attention to the importance of Huta Stalowa Wola.
We want to expand arms production. We need it in times of war on our borders. We have to defend ourselves and this bet has to play a big part in that
he said.
