In a new campaign clip for Law and Justice, Minister Mariusz Kamiński frames the elections as a critical moment for the country, outlining what he sees as at stake for Poland.

The video opens with a reminder from Kamiński, setting the tone for the message that follows. He speaks with a direct, confident cadence, signaling the burden of responsibility he believes rests on voters in the upcoming ballot.

Then a portion of an interview with Cezary Tomczyk from the Civic Platform is shown. When asked how many refugees Poland could realistically accept under a future government, Tomczyk responds firmly that the state would be prepared to consider any number, while stressing that decisions would be made as circumstances require.

Kamiński returns to the frame, noting that eight years have passed since a spokesperson for the PO-PSL government made a similar remark. He points to those years as a period during which the country faced decisions about immigration and border policy, asserting that the subsequent elections produced a mandate to avoid compulsory relocations and to handle refugee matters through centers prepared for this purpose. He argues that today another round of elections confronts the nation with the same subject, while accusing Donald Tusk of avoiding the issue in the present discourse.

The clip also references discussions about border security and the border dam project on the frontier with Belarus, presentingKamiński with remarks about how those topics were treated in the past and how they were used in political arguments at the time.

An excerpt from Tusk’s remarks is included, addressing the reaction to migrants arriving at the Polish border and describing the situation as a moment of heightened tension. The video frames the opposing view as one in which the opposition leader suggests that immigration presents a direct challenge to Poland, while emphasizing a defensive stance as the current plan of action.

Election stakes

As the message continues, Kamiński states that the opposition opposed all measures taken to manage what he labels as an invasion. He frames the election as a turning point, asserting that only Law and Justice can decisively halt what he describes as aggressive moves by the other side. The rhetoric is crafted to portray the contest as a choice between decisive leadership and a failure to address a perceived threat to national security.

The discussion touches on the broader political landscape, including how immigration and border policy have been used to frame the election debate. The message emphasizes the contrast between the governing party’s approach and the positions attributed to the opposition, urging voters to consider the consequences of every possible choice in the coming vote.
