“The fragment of the country’s 2011 defense plan that I unveiled is a historical document,” said the head of the Ministry of National Defense, Mariusz Błaszczak, in Kolno. He added that this document “is a testimony to the approach of the authorities at the time” to the issue of state security.
The Minister of Defense opened the conference “Safe East”, which was organized on Friday at the Kolno Culture and Sports Center. Previously, he took part in the oath of the first group of soldiers of the unit in Kolno, one of the locations of the motorized brigade in formation, which is part of the 1st Legions Infantry Division.
Unlike those who ruled Poland until 2015 and decided that Poland would be defended on the Vistula River, the Law and Justice government changed these plans. Poland is defended on its borders. Every piece of Polish territory is defended by soldiers of the Polish army
– Błaszczak emphasized.
Klich’s plan
The head of the Ministry of National Defense last week referred to the publication of an excerpt of the plan to use the Polish Armed Forces as part of an independent defense operation, which was approved in 2011 by the then head of the Ministry of National Defense Bogdan Klich. .
The document I revealed, for which I am so criticized by opposition politicians, was and is today a historic document. However, it is a wonderful testimony to the approach of the authorities at the time to security in our home country
– the minister pointed out.
He added that “in the name of a well-understood social interest, the clause should have been removed from this historic document.”
This is a historical document, I emphasize it again, because we are now establishing new military units in the eastern part of our country.
– he said.
Reconstruction of military units
Referring to state security policy, Błaszczak reiterated that the PiS government’s goal is to “create a Polish army so strong that the aggressor will not cross the borders of the Republic of Poland.”
So that the tragic events that took place in the history of Kolno and many other cities do not repeat themselves
– said the Minister of Defense at a conference attended, among others: local government officials from northeastern Poland and students of uniformed classes.
We are creating military units in places where the presence of the Polish army must be marked for security reasons and to deter the aggressor.
– he said. He added that Kolno is a city that has experienced tragic events related to military operations in its history.
The head of the Ministry of Defense announced that there are currently more than 42,000 people in voluntary military service (set for 18 months). soldiers, most of whom are professional soldiers. He also said that over 4.4 thousand people in Poland will take the oath in the next two days. new soldiers.
Błaszczak pointed out that the creation of military units is also important for local communities as a development impetus, including in the economic field.
Saturate the east with troops
Hence our decision to saturate eastern Poland with the Polish army
– said the minister. He listed the units being raised and strengthened in this part of the country. As he noted, for local governments these are “just benefits, I don’t see any threat here.” He also thanked the soldiers serving on the eastern border and supporting the Border Patrol.
He said the relocation of migrants was, in a sense, their “invitation.”
When they hear that the European Commission (…) wants to implement a relocation mechanism, that is to say, disperse them throughout the territory of the countries that are part of the EU, they go, because that is what they want.
– said the head of the Ministry of National Defense. He encouraged people to take part in the referendum that will accompany the parliamentary elections on October 15 and to vote “against these mechanisms”.
