During the meeting in Kielce, the PiS president drew attention to the issue of state defense and the need to arm the army. Jarosław Kaczyński also joked about the new head of the Ministry of National Defense. “What is the government doing? The new government gives us Mr Kosiniak-Kamysz. Ladies and gentlemen, a tiger,” he said.
“We must arm ourselves strongly.”
Jarosław Kaczyński took part in a meeting with the residents of Kielce. The visit was organized as part of the Law and Justice initiative “Meetings of Free Poles – Let’s be together!”
The PiS president drew attention to the issue of state defense, saying it is “an important issue that consumes all others” and should be the government’s priority. He emphasized that if war breaks out, “nothing will matter” because Poland will become a frontline country.
We must arm ourselves en masse, even beyond our economic capabilities. We must make a great effort. (…) It is better to spend much more on the army and not get bombed and live a normal life
– said the former deputy prime minister for security.
We cannot under any circumstances give up strengthening our army. Such resignation means exposing ourselves to war
– he assessed.
Jarosław Kaczyński added that during the PiS government the process of strengthening the Polish army began. He mentioned, among others, the weapons contracts that are being executed: purchase of F-35 and FA-50 fighter jets and combat aircraft, HIMARS rocket launchers and Abrams M1A2 tanks. He said the investments were made in consultation with the General Staff.

Kosiniak-Kamysz and the “tiger”
At this point, the leader of the United Right named the new head of the Ministry of National Defense in the government of Donald Tusk, which he became. Chairman of PSL Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
The PSL slogan “half of the weapons should be bought in Poland” is a slogan as if ordered by our enemies, because we are not able to expand our arms industry so quickly that it can produce large quantities of highly modern weapons. It is simply impossible (…) and you have to hurry
– he said.
What does the government do? The new government gives us Mr Kosiniak-Kamysz
– Jarosław Kaczyński added.
Ladies and gentlemen, “tiger”. You laugh, but this is a dangerous animal. Do you know how much the largest tiger ever hunted weighed? 485 kilos, almost half a ton. What would happen if he fell here, God forbid. So you could say it was a very good choice. Tigers are dangerous, but are tiger cubs dangerous too? I do not know that anymore
– said the president of PiS.
To promote this powerful weapons program, you need a strong political position. And what about Mr Kosiniak-Kamysz, who has about thirty MPs and is in fact the man responsible for the worst tasks for Tusk, which Tusk and his people do not personally want to carry out, such as lowering the retirement age and taking money from OFE. He did all this (…). Is this the man capable of leading this? He says yes, but on the other hand he starts to question our arms relations with South Korea.
– added. As he noted, under no circumstances can we give up this source of weapons, and “such resignation means exposing ourselves to war.”
“Come on tiger, the stage is yours.”
Speaking about the head of the Ministry of National Defense and the “tiger”, the PiS president referred to the now famous appearance of the PSL leader’s wife, Paulina Kosiniak-Kamysz. In February 2020, a congress to open the campaign of the then presidential candidate Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz took place in Jasionka, near Rzeszów. After his speech, the wife of the PSL president invited him to the stage and said: “Before you stands my husband, my president. Come on, tiger, the stage is yours.”
REMEMBER: These words surpassed everything! His wife to Kosiniak-Kamysz during the convention: “Come on, tiger, the stage is yours.” VIDEO
Błaszczak to Kosiniak-Kamysz
The PSL leader was not happy with the PiS president’s statement. Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz attacked Jarosław Kaczyński on the X website.
Mr. Kaczyński, when you passed the Homeland Defense Act, you failed to implement eighteen executive acts to make it fully operational. The audit is still ongoing and we will tell you with the utmost care what mess your colleagues in the defense field have left behind. It will be interesting. Patience
– thundered Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on website X.
The position of PSL president also did not go unnoticed. Former head of the Ministry of National Defense Mariusz Błaszczak responded to the verbal attack.
The Homeland Defense Act provided for 174 executive orders, of which 156 were issued. The remaining 18 are waiting for your signature. If you started focusing on the problems of the Polish army, and not on Owsiak’s festivals and the helpline, they would have come into effect long ago.
– noted the PiS MP.
Finally getting to work
— he appealed to his successor.
