Following the disturbances in France, MP Mejza speaks clearly about the stakes of the upcoming elections.
“If the United Right wins, we will see a developing, self-governing country within a secure Europe. If not, and if Tusk rises to power, the EU could become a centralized superstate, shaped by German influence, widening inequalities, and large-scale immigration.”
wPolityce.pl: The envoy notes that the protests in France, sparked directly by the reaction to the death of a 17-year-old with immigrant roots, seem to be easing. Yet the devastation to many cities, estimated at about a billion euros, and numerous injured police officers remain. Some observers say this signals a broader shift in European awareness and hints at upheavals to come across Western Europe. Do you share that view?
Member of Parliament Lukasz Mejza: The scenes in French cities were dramatic and harsh—shops and cultural sites damaged, clashes with authorities, and cars burned in the streets. He views this as the peak of a long-running drama across the West. Alongside the charred boulevards in Paris, he argues, a clash between what he calls absurd multicultural policies and the traditional order has erupted. He says reasonable people warned Western Europe was heading toward self-destruction, while left-liberal elites pushed a vision of cultural diversity that ignored the concerns of ordinary communities. He recalls the question once raised by Pope John Paul II in 1985 about France’s baptism, calling for a response to the faith’s heritage as changes unfold. Today, he sees a price being paid for Western Europe’s evolving identity.
What exactly is meant by the phrase ‘the fall of Europe’? Mejza suggests it signals a failure of policies that welcomed migrants from the Middle East and Africa and promoted open-door norms as a form of modernity.
He envisions scenarios where in Stockholm Muslim communities form self-contained zones with distinct legal and cultural rules, where women feel unsafe at night, and where church buildings are converted into mosques. In his view, these shifts would mark a decline of Europe, with left-leaning options having led the way in recent decades and echoing the consequences he associates with those choices.
Is the left responsible for the current challenges facing migrants, you think?
Mejza cautions that Western Europe has long celebrated ideas of modernity—open societies, LGBT rights, and broader reproductive choices—yet the outcome, he argues, has included social destabilization when traditional norms are perceived as being dismantled too quickly. He accuses sections of the left of failing to defend traditional values and of promoting policies that, in his view, undermine family and faith. He points to what he calls a real threat to European security arising from policies that tolerate rapid migrant influxes without adequate integration measures. He cites crime statistics from various countries after the 2015 migration wave and argues these trends require serious attention and action in policy-making. He notes Sweden as an example he believes illustrates the issues he emphasizes—rates of violence he claims are alarming when compared to his country. He says the most affected are women—mothers, wives, and daughters—and he believes a new conservative movement is emerging with safety for women on its banner.
He mentions that left-wing campaigns have counted themselves as champions of feminism, while he asserts that the reality faced by many women under migration pressures paints a different picture. The conversation recalls a time when banners and public demonstrations drew attention to gender issues, and he argues that consequences would worsen under a left-led government if migration policies remain unsettled.
As for reversing the narrative, Mejza argues that progress is underway, even if late. In France, public opinion has increasingly called for tighter restrictions on illegal migration. He notes that in Poland, the right-wing stance taken in 2015 against relocation pressures helped prevent disturbing scenes and broader security risks. He argues that this stance contributed to avoiding incidents similar to Parisian riots or the Cologne assaults from the past. He sees a broader European trend toward skepticism about mass migration taking root across the continent.
Does Europe align with the United Right on the core questions?
Mejza observes that Brussels has not publicly admitted alignment, yet many Europeans appear receptive to a straightforward political message about immigration and sovereignty. He points to recent political shifts in Italy, Finland, and Greece as signs of a changing mood, and he predicts Spain may follow suit, arguing that a bloc of nations is moving away from leftward controls toward a more national-focused approach. He describes a drive to protect national sovereignty and to resist a perceived push toward a European superstate, arguing that a coalition led by the European left or a party like Poland 2050 would push for policies that he believes would hamper security and national autonomy. He asserts that United Right would counter attempts to relocate illegal migrants and would uphold national interests in cooperation with fellow European countries that share this view. He contends that the coming elections will determine how Europe navigates these tensions.
Are the autumn elections a turning point for Europe?
He believes the Polish elections and a forthcoming presidential referendum will help chart Europe’s future trajectory. He highlights three core values at stake: sovereignty, freedom, and security. The choice, he argues, is between a patriotic government that defends national interests and unity, or a coalition seen as influenced by external forces. He also claims that a right-leaning government wouldProtect Poland’s autonomy and help ensure economic advancement, while warning that a left-leaning or centrist coalition could impose tighter restrictions under foreign influence. Mejza argues that the United Right offers the strongest guarantee that the EU will abandon forced relocation schemes and that Polish women, mothers, wives, and daughters will be safer. He frames the election as a decisive moment for Poland and Europe, with significant consequences depending on the outcome.
