“Civic Platform is a monstrous hypocrisy. Today they are trying to forget the fact that they were liquidating military units in our country,” said Mariusz Błaszczak, the head of the Ministry of National Defense, in the program “Gość Wiadomości” (TVP Info).
They opened the “Brzeska Gate” and invited the aggressor
he stressed.
We are constantly reinforcing the Polish army to deter the aggressor
– added the Minister of National Defense.
The situation at the border
Minister Błaszczak referred to the situation on the border with Belarus.
The nation stood by the Polish uniform when soldiers were attacked at the border. (…) Soldiers of the Polish army ensure our safety
he noticed.
Next year’s budget will be a record budget for the Department of Defense. It will amount to PLN 158 billion, compared to PLN 38 billion in 2015. Note the scale of the growth. It all pays off
announced the head of the Ministry of National Defense.
Attacking the opposition
The minister referred to criticism from the opposition.
The opposition criticizes me for placing orders recently [sprzęt wojskowy], I have been ordering since I became the head of the Ministry of National Defense. My predecessor also started these preparations. Those who ruled until 2015 liquidated military units and did not order equipment. (…) It seemed as if they did not want to defend our country
he said.
Opposition MPs from PO and PSL criticize me for organizing picnics. I do it to encourage young Poles to join the army
– added.
