A compelling voice for Poland and its people
“This is how conversations should be. Easter is approaching, inviting hope and a look toward the future. It is a moment to discuss Poland, to listen. In every campaign, dialogue with the people has always been at the heart of the PiS program. The memories of past campaigns linger—2015, when the spirit of Poland rose under the white and red, and hope awakened among Poles,” reflected Beata Szydło, a former prime minister and MEP, in Sandomierz.
A faithful advocate for Poland’s interests
Eight years can feel long. What was it like? What has been accomplished? What lies ahead? Those questions frame the conversation. The aim is to ask people what matters and how they live their daily lives.
This was the message from the MEP.
Poland’s steady development and safety are the result of the Polish people. A round of applause celebrated the citizens who carried the country forward. The speaker noted arriving not as a prominent Warsaw politician, but as one of the people who trusted her with Poland’s affairs in European Parliament elections. As a member of the European Parliament, she represents Świętokrzyskie and Lesser Poland, yet her duty is to stand up for all of Poland. The appeal was to be treated as one of the people, to speak honestly, and to acknowledge that Poland needs such conversations. Differences exist—and that is natural—but mutual respect and listening are essential to shaping a strong program. The method was simple: sit at the table together, as in a family, and discuss what can be achieved. The invitation stood for Poles at meetings across the country, asking whether white and red banners would be visible. From the perspective of her EP work, she underscored the importance of defending Polish affairs, noting that not all parliamentarians elected in Poland share this stance. She emphasized a willingness to speak Polish in the EP and highlighted a concern about a peer who felt shame hearing Polish in that chamber.
— emphasized the former prime minister.
She committed to defending Poland without hesitation when it is attacked. The moment of embarrassment and sadness came with a photo showing three former Polish prime ministers at an exhibition organized by a parliamentarian from the PO in the EP. The display touched on Polish services that protected borders against hybrid threats. The exhibition had been organized by members of the Platform community. These three prime ministers entered the EP through PO lists. The reminder was clear: the elections to the Polish Parliament and the EP will shape Poland’s representation, defend Polish interests, and ensure a parliament that looks after citizens’ concerns.

Restoring dignity
Memories of 2015 rise yet again with discussions of what happened on the ground. There was doubt and a lack of hope as people talked about tough times under the PO’s governance. Infrastructure faced cuts, checkpoints and post offices were closed, and a former state farm site was recalled. A mother spoke of limited prospects for her children, and in Szydłowiec the highest unemployment under PO-PSL rule was recalled. A retiree faced costs for prescriptions while bills piled up. Young people left the country, and many human problems lingered. Local leaders reported floods in Mazovia and residents felt neglected. In those conversations, the program began to take shape. When President Andrzej Duda won, there were days to prepare a statement, and the team drew on programs that lifted many families, including a widely discussed support initiative that provided tangible relief. The goal was to give parents and children a sense of equal opportunity and dignity. In the Sejm, the program was described as a timely improvement that could be implemented within a short period, even if some ministers believed the time frame too tight. Yet the commitment remained firm and the plan moved forward.
— emphasized the former prime minister.
Further reforms followed. The retirement age was adjusted after earlier promises, with debates about responsibilities among major political players. While some criticized previous politicians, the responsibility for changes was shared. Today, when opponents declare that social programs will remain untouched if they return to power, the pledge is met with skepticism by those who remember the earlier votes.
— emphasized Beata Szydło.
The PiS government has pursued its commitments from eight years ago. The 2015 pledge, the 2019 milestones, and changes intended to empower families have shaped a narrative of progress. The state introduced education reforms that gave parents a stronger say in their child’s schooling. The country’s sovereignty and freedom remain central values, aiming for a secure and dignified life where the state stands beside its citizens.
— added the former prime minister.
Polish hosts the Polish House
Today, when some PO voices push harsh plans, the speaker stated she would not be daunted. She recalled standing up to the European Council and resisting attempts to shift leadership in Europe without asserting Poland’s interests. She remembered a moment of courage when 27 EU leaders seemed divided, and she stood firm for Poland. The decision was clear: Poland should be represented by those who defend its interests, especially in important roles. That stance, she recalled, defined a time in which national priorities mattered above all.
— Beata Szydło recalled.
There was no time to dwell on past rivals, she said. The focus remained on the concerns of ordinary people and the businesses that form the backbone of the country. The question people asked was why to vote for them and why to trust them again. While acknowledging past missteps and the desire to move faster, the message stayed that capable advisers, honest politicians, and a shared effort from citizens are essential. Voters are their employers, and the upcoming election would determine how well Poland is represented and how effectively it addresses the public’s needs. The seat of government should reflect the people’s will, not the other way around.
— said Beata Szydło.
Why choose this team? They described the opposition’s view of Poland as an ordinary figure, while they see Poland as a bright, capable homeland. The country is not merely a political instrument; it is a home for all. Poland’s future is something to strive for together, with confidence and insistence that success is within reach.
— stressed the MEP.
