“Regarding the attitude of our political opponents, they apparently have associated great hope of the EU. They argued that it was the European Union that could help us. What does the case really look like? In such a way that we are dealing with decisions that get very loud in our defense, but also economic interests, “said Jarosław Kaczyński, piss president at a press conference.
Today we want to deal with the issue of Polish poor, but in this case this is a matter that was very closely related to the EU. With her efforts, announcements that refer to this field. Regarding the attitude of our political opponents, they apparently have associated great hope of the EU. They argued that it was the European Union who could help us
– said Jarosław Kaczyński during a press conference.
What does the case really look like? In such a way we have to deal with decisions that get very hard in our defensive, but also economic interests. First of all: when it comes to our participation in this “cake”, it is now, ladies and gentlemen, at zero level. In practical terms, Germany, France and Spain have to use it. We don’t. However, we must submit an application for restrictions
He pointed out.
First of all: restrictions on contracts that have already been announced and are even concluded. Only that these are contracts outside the Union: the United States and Korea. And here is the condition that everything must be purchased in the European Union, whose weapons options are currently small. We want them to increase, we think this is the good direction. Well, but this threat is in a short time. What is more: even a part of our production is so much based on components outside the EU that you should stop this production under these new regulations or look for new opportunities
– The PIS leader emphasized.
The truth about the “East Shield”
There is also one thing in the perspective: the one who has this army who defends NATO’s eastern flank. Because there are currently postulates that amount to the fact that they have to order Germany. (…) Is that, ladies and gentlemen, when it comes to Poland as a sovereign country? I don’t think so
– Jarosław Kaczyński rated.
And there is a Lord in the EU who places this issue in this way. His name is Weber, today plays a very important role in the EU, he is the head of the EPP. Now the question is whether the citizen platform will continue to support this gentleman
He added.
And there is one more thing, you can say: myth almost. East Shield. Well, when it comes to East Shield, no money for this shield when it comes to decisions that are already in the EU or planned – you can’t see
– said the piss president.
The shield would certainly be useful for us and the plan, although of course he was discussed without this name during the meetings of the foreign committee when I was the chairman. But this is really a great plan – if it is more than just a propaganda figure – and really expensive
– The politician emphasized.
100 billion is such a minimum, it would certainly cost much more. This is not an easy enterprise. (…) But ladies and gentlemen, not all of this. No help, and the thing is still just one of the elements that are constantly cultivated by the PO propaganda
He assessed.
Bielan about the backstage of work on the European Program for Defense industry
Work on the European Program for the Defense industry lasted 2 years. The EC would publish a document in the fall 2023 and as a result of delays it only published in March 2024
– Pis Mep Adam Bielan said.
As a result of regulations between political groups, Zdzisław Krasnodębski would be the most important rapporteur of this report. EPP, who wanted to block, so that the work on this report was led by someone from our faction, the work on this report at least worked on the EP elections
He added.
After the elections, embarrassing arguments started which committee would become a leading committee. It was only after 8 months that the decision was taken to continue with this report on the basis of the SO -unpain a fast path that limits the possibility of corrections and discussions. Unfortunately, this report was much worse than the one who published the EC. He prevents the purchase of European equipment from our allies from outside the EU, but also limits the work of our arms industry
– Bielan emphasized.
