PiS President Jarosław Kaczyński does not draw any conclusions from the events that took place; he is the one who made mistakes, he is the one who alone bears the responsibility; Behind the Third Way are 3.1 million voters who have received our message – said the deputy head of Poland 2050, Michał Kobosko, on Saturday on RMF FM, referring to the words of the PiS president.
On Friday, the chairman of PiS spoke, among other things, at the 9th extraordinary club meeting of “Gazeta Polska” in Spała: that “the sources of the creation of the Civic Platform” are “fairly obvious” and “later this obviousness was confirmed through policies that were clearly consistent with German interests.”
For example, let’s not forget the other side: was the creation of Poland 2050 – because it was not yet the Third Way, but Poland 2050 – the result of a certain TV presenter coming up with such an idea, or maybe something deeper, or the generals who were there just loved this man, or maybe there are deeper reasons for that
– said Kaczynski.
I think the reasons here are deeper and that it is the other side that is looking for a reliable instrument and still hopes that this already established political system, which is not the most convenient anyway, would prefer another system. First, it could lead to what Moscow thinks it should be
– added.
The Vice-President of Poland 2050, Michał Kobosko, was asked about these words on RMF FM radio.
Some people appreciate President Kaczyński for this, but I do not appreciate him for this, that he does not draw conclusions from the events that have taken place, that he does not change and will not change.
– he said.
He added that in the context of the election results, PiS “did not hear President Kaczyński say: ‘I am sorry for the mistakes’.”
He said that some mistakes were made, that magical, mysterious figures made mistakes, but not him. He was the one who made the mistakes, he is the one who is solely responsible. Part of these mistakes was exactly what he repeated to everyone around him yesterday before the elections: the opposition consists of dark, hostile forces, traitors to Poland, mysterious arrangements and so on.
– said the deputy head of Poland 2050.
Mr President, not only the platform had disappeared, but also the entire train station
– added.
As he noted, the Third Way was supported by 14.4 percent. voters, and the PiS president divides Poland into better and worse.
He does not make specific accusations, he asks – as they say – questions, and questions are asked to create a certain impression, but today this is a symptom of President Kaczyński’s powerlessness
– said Kobosko.
He emphasized that 3.1 million voters support the Third Way.
These are the people who received our message, people who decided that the Third Way was very necessary in Polish politics
– he said.
When asked whether Poland 2050 was preparing a response to the PiS president’s words, for example in the form of a lawsuit, he replied: “We will think about it, but there are more important things than wondering about the dilemmas of President Kaczyński.”
Number of soldiers
It is not the number of soldiers that determines whether the army is able to defend the borders, it is a matter of the efficiency and professional modernity of the army, which we must have in Poland, but we do not have it yet – said Michał Kobosko , deputy head of Poland 2050, on RMF FM on Saturday.
We do not know exactly what purchases were made. We know what Mr Błaszczak talked about at press conferences and parades, but we don’t actually know what these contracts are for, whether the so-called framework, broad or specific contracts
– said Kobosko.
We are not announcing, and I certainly will not, that we will break arms contracts that have already been signed. We will not start, like Minister Antoni Macierewicz (former head of the Ministry of National Defense – PAP), by terminating the contract for Caracal helicopters. However, we, who know the reality of the state budget and the debt burden that PiS has led to, must see what is realistic and what we can all tolerate when it comes to military spending.
– said Kobosko.
When asked about Siemoniak’s statement, he said he would not participate in auctions on the number of soldiers.
Today, it is not the number of soldiers that primarily determines the military’s ability to defend our borders and territory; it is a question of the efficiency and professional modernity of the army, which we must have in Poland, and at the moment we do not have it yet
– Kobosko emphasized.
As he added, Poland is still in a situation of real threat of war.
The Russian attack on Ukraine continues, so we need to be much better prepared to repel possible aggression than during the PiS government, but I will not join the bidding. (…) It is known that PiS was fond of monumental, Gierek-like projects, grand projects that dazzle us all with the number of soldiers. I repeat again: it is not the number of soldiers that currently determines how the military is doing on the battlefield
– said Kobosko.
Siemoniak’s words were commented on Friday, among others, by: The head of the Ministry of National Defense, Mariusz Błaszczak, writes on the X platform that the Polish army currently numbers 187,000 men. soldiers, and the words of the PO politician would mean “dismissals from the Polish Armed Forces, liquidation of units and reduced security of Poland.”
Blaszczak, don’t lie. I spoke, as before the elections, about 150,000. professional soldiers, 30 thousand territorial defense soldiers and 20-30 thousand soldiers of voluntary conscripts and several hundred thousand reserves. This in no way means dismissals. Go away man, the military and citizens have had enough of this propaganda and lies!
— Siemoniak replied on the X platform.

Minister Błaszczak’s answer
“I will not announce that we will break the contracts, but…” we will hear the “but” very often from the mouth of the chaos coalition – said the head of the Ministry of National Defense, Mariusz Błaszczak, on Saturday, referring to the statement of the deputy head of Poland 2050, Michał Koboska, on arms contracts.
On the X platform, the Minister of National Defense quoted the statement of the Deputy Head of Poland 2050, recorded in the program channel “Gość Ziemca w RMF FM”.
I share Tomasz Siemoniak’s view that we need to take a closer look at Błaszczak’s military purchases. We don’t know what was agreed. I will not say that we will break the contracts, but only when we know the reality of the budget and the debts that PiS has created, we will see what we can tolerate.
– says Michał Koboska, quoted in the profile of the program.
“I won’t say we will break the contracts, but…” We will hear this ‘but’ very often from the chaos coalition
– wrote Błaszczak on the X platform.
