German fairy tales about Polish disorder were claimed to be false. They watch developments in Poland with wide eyes and grow uneasy, according to PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński as he spoke in Gozda.
Kaczyński argued that when Poland governs itself and is not guided from Moscow or Berlin, the nation can steer its own course even if it holds firm beliefs. He warned that people whose operations are headquartered in Berlin, Moscow, or Brussels cannot be trusted to lead Poland.
That cannot be the path forward. Yet the question remains whether a withdrawal from the European Union is being sought. The claim that such a move is desired is inaccurate. The aim is a union, but a union of sovereign states, not a surrender of sovereignty, he explained.
According to Kaczyński, the government led by Donald Tusk would strip Poland of its sovereignty.
Today, Poland is a sovereign country, the president stressed, and that sovereignty must not be relinquished.
German fairy tale concerns about Polish disorder persist in his view as well, with observers watching closely and growing wary, he added.
We are at the forefront
The Central Communications Port, he said, will transform Poland by positioning it at the center of Europe not only geographically but in its real role as a hub of transport and communication links. Kaczyński spoke in Gozda, noting the need for funding to accomplish national projects.
He claimed that progress has begun to control what he calls the disease of the so-called Third Polish Republic, a period he attributes to the Tusk era that saw what he describes as a massive robbery of state resources, the budget, and public finances.
Kaczyński highlighted accomplishments attributed to his party, including the restoration of the retirement age and the 500 plus program. He mentioned plans for the Central Communications Gate, insisting it will reshape Poland into a nation at the heart of Europe and, more importantly, at the center of transport networks.
Not merely a matter of geography, but a strategic positioning at the center of movement and logistics, he stressed.
The PiS leader also addressed unemployment, stating that it remains among the lowest levels in Europe. He acknowledged occasional fluctuations with the Czechs sometimes ahead, but insisted Poland often holds the top rank and has kept unemployment rates around the mid-teens, with a figure of 14.4 percent cited in his remarks.
But there is one condition: Tusk cannot be here
He projected a vision of a prosperous and strong Poland, including a robust military and overall security, but with one caveat: Donald Tusk cannot be present in the country. This claim was voiced during a Friday gathering with residents of Gozd in the Mazovia region.
He described the current state as free of barren fields and marked by decency and growing prosperity, yet reiterated that Tusk must not be involved in Polish affairs. He challenged recent critics and, after the remarks, heard shouts of To Berlin, to which he responded with a pointed rebuke. He suggested that Tusk would be better off staying in Sopot or pursuing a local council role, arguing that he is unfit to lead the nation.
The president of PiS elaborated on the reasons behind this stance, citing the connections and thinking he attributes to Tusk as incompatible with the country’s direction. He reaffirmed that Tusk, in his assessment, embodies a particular kind of talent and approach that does not align with Poland’s interests.
In closing, he expressed personal limitation in changing events but invited Poles to support a move away from any influence seen as harmful to Poland’s sovereignty and future. The remarks closed with a cautionary note about the impact of external influence on national decision making, and a call to action for voters and citizens to respond in the political arena.
