The new foreign minister stated that the previous government “bought modern, important, large, expensive systems” for the Polish army. “I am happy that Radosław Sikorski, as a prominent representative of the PO, has finally admitted that, after many years of negligence by Ministers Klich and Siemoniak, it was the PiS government that started modernizing the Polish army,” said former head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. National Defence, Mariusz Błaszczak, commented on Sikorski’s words.
Sikorski on the actions of the previous government
Poland’s first insurance policy is, as I have already said, a strong and modern Polish army. And here we correct a certain philosophy of the previous government: who bought modern, important, large, expensive systems, for delivery by the end of the decade. Because we need to modernize and prepare in two or three years, not five or six
– said Sikorski.

The former Minister of National Defense responded to these words on the X platform.
Six months after signing the contract
I am glad that Radosław Sikorski, as a prominent representative of the PO, finally admitted that, after many years of negligence of Ministers Klich and Siemoniak, it was the PiS government that started modernizing the Polish army, by providing the most modern equipment to purchase.
– wrote Mariusz Błaszczak.
I only have one ‘correction’, because it appears that the Secretary of State has been sleeping for the past few years. The equipment we ordered will not arrive “at the end of the decade”, as the minister says. Sikorski. Korean K2 tanks, K9 gun howitzers, FA/50 aircraft and Chunmoo launchers were delivered to the Polish army only half a year after signing the contract.. If you want to arm yourself, please convince your government colleague, Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, not to resign from the continuation of these contracts. I recently met the ambassador of South Korea. and I have heard that there is no decision on your part regarding further cooperation
– added the politician for Law and Justice.
The ‘December 13 coalition’ is of course moving slowly, a bit casually, with a spoonful of tar, but is starting to say publicly that the United Right government has important successes to its name. And that’s no surprise, because you can’t deny reality forever.
