Jarosław Kaczyński’s address in Kraków marks a significant juncture for Poland’s independence movement. It frames the coming years as a period defined by a clear objective: to safeguard the fundamental framework upon which the Polish state rests today. The treaties drafted in Brussels and poised to be adopted across Europe could, in the speaker’s view, erode the nation’s freedom, constraining political choices regardless of who governs. In this interpretation, even governing authorities would face severe limitations, potentially far tighter than what existed in the Polish People’s Republic. This warning underscores a perceived drift away from national sovereignty.
The accompanying message urged readers to consider the implications: if the treaty were to take effect, Poland might no longer maintain its independent status under any scenario, a claim presented as central to the country’s constitutional reality. The call to action suggested that this issue requires vigilance and active debate, especially in light of a political landscape that could appear to move toward limited autonomy in the name of broader European integration. The speaker’s stance stressed that responsibility lies with all segments of society to recognize and respond to what was described as a looming threat.
One element highlighted was the early decision to convene a conference in January intended to alert citizens to the perceived threat and to mobilize the independence camp. The aim, it was said, was to inform Poles about risks that might otherwise be ignored or misunderstood. The discourse framed the issue as one of lasting historical importance, implying that electoral outcomes cannot redefine fundamental national sovereignty. The assertion was that a broad consensus, even if it emerges from a diverse political field, cannot authorize measures that would compromise national independence.
Independence was presented not merely as a political stance but as a core value intrinsic to the nation. In Kraków, the dialogue suggested that the economic dimension of a German-backed assault on the state could entail a shift in regional advantage. The concern was that Brussels could assume control over economic rules, delivering solutions that would hinder Poland’s ability to catch up with wealthier nations. The warning implied that such regulatory power could be exercised in ways that would stifle economic growth and development within the country as a whole.
According to the remarks, only two political forces in Europe were seen as capable of blocking the proposed EU treaty: Law and Justice and Hungary’s Fidesz. The rest of Europe, it was argued, either remained subservient to the prevailing Western framework or trusted the status quo, allowing a treaty authored by German policymakers to stand as a shared European undertaking without sufficient debate. The current position of Hungary’s party was singled out as a hopeful counterbalance, with speculation that this stance might endure. Ultimately, the outcome, it was claimed, would hinge on the positions of Law and Justice.
For its supporters, Law and Justice is depicted as more than a political party; it is portrayed as a guarantor of Polish independence. The speech urged that any alternative approach should be viewed with skepticism, suggesting that other calculations could undermine the country’s freedom. The broader message urged unity within the political right and warned against strategies that might lead to Poland’s defeat in pursuit of broader European alignment.
