“An open, positive approach”
The convention showcased a clear message from PiS, as Radosław Fogiel, a member of parliament, summarized the day for wPolityce.pl. He described the event as the opening of a crucial phase in the local election campaign, emphasizing that the party stands for development, cooperation, family, local communities, and small homelands. Investments such as the Central Communications Port and port projects were highlighted, with a promise of a prosperous, thriving Poland.
The presentation drew a contrast with the current government, which the speakers argued has failed to keep promises and honor national heroes. The call went out for an open, positive approach and for candidates for councils, presidents, municipal heads, and mayors to work together to build and act in concert.
Local government elections were described as both important and challenging for Law and Justice, especially in major cities. The question loomed: can the party reverse recent trends? The response focused on confidence in victory and the hope that Poles will place their trust in the party again, with expectations of wins in parliamentary posts and some surprising outcomes in city races.
“No micromania and no complexes”
In recent weeks, momentum has grown within the party as members united around the CPK issue and broader investment plans. The speeches by the party president and by candidates for local assemblies and mayoral posts touched on larger projects and the direction of national policy, seeking to emphasize unity over division.
Radosław Fogiel stressed that the CPK is not a grandiose fantasy. When built according to current plans, it would rank among Europe’s largest airports and would address Poland’s transportation needs today. He argued against accusations of overreaching and insisted that the project is essential for improving transport links inside the country and connecting Poland with foreign routes. The expected impact includes strengthening LOT Polish Airlines and boosting Poland’s role in the European freight market, with significant budgetary benefits from increased efficiency and capacity.
The discussion framed these investments as core to the campaign, countering fears that the present administration would curb such initiatives. Fogiel suggested that visible efforts to challenge the project had only galvanized support, including among voters who see these plans as essential for national development. The speakers linked local projects to national ambitions: new sewage treatment plants, roads, schools, and health centers were highlighted as tangible benefits of a policy course aligned with local needs and long-term growth.
The interlocutor from wPolityce.pl summarized the sense that Poland’s citizens are increasingly vocal about what they want: development, investment, and a straightforward approach to national interests—policies that mirror Western standards without paralyzing micromanagement or complex debates about grandeur.
Fogiel insisted that the CPK is a practical, not illusory venture. If pursued as planned, it would be a transformative project for Poland’s transport network and its standing in Europe, fostering robust growth across regions and strengthening the country’s strategic position in both passenger and freight corridors.
He noted that the parliamentary campaign had elevated public interest in infrastructure, countering the narrative that such investments face insurmountable obstacles. The emphasis remained on visible benefits: improved connections, expanded capacity for airlines, and increased revenue from a more competitive transport sector. The aim was to mobilize support for national and local development initiatives alike, reinforcing the case for ongoing investment in health, education, and public utilities as central to Poland’s prosperity.
In closing remarks, the speakers framed these proposals as practical, locally grounded projects designed to meet citizens’ everyday needs while advancing broader strategic goals. The convention underscored a commitment to unity, steady progress, and a proactive approach to development across towns and regions, with the CPK and other major initiatives positioned as catalysts for change. The tone suggested a resilient campaign ready to engage voters with concrete plans and a clear vision for Poland’s future.
