Thank you to all who gathered here, united by a shared belief and a hopeful outlook for victory on May 18, as Poland moves toward a pivotal moment in its political life. The convention in Łódź highlighted a pledge to demonstrate that being Polish carries responsibility and pride, with the central message focusing on national identity and democratic participation.
The speaker noted that the gathering felt especially meaningful because the president of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda, offered his support. The speaker described the president as having walked a similar path in 2015 and as someone who has safeguarded the Polish state for a decade. The sentiments expressed portrayed the presidency as a stabilizing force in a time of political turbulence, with a call to maintain normalcy and resilience in the face of contemporary challenges.
In remarks delivered during the event, recognition was extended to Bronisław Wildstein for his role in documenting the collaboration between diverse citizen committees across Poland. The audience was thanked for their presence, and praise was offered to Jarosław Kaczyński, described as one of the most effective figures in Poland’s political history.
The speaker then spoke of family, expressing affection for his wife, Marta, and noting the strength and commitment of their three children. He described her as a thoughtful, decisive partner who has served the Polish state, and suggested she would be well-suited for public life if the role of first lady is pursued.
Reflections on history followed, with reference to the coronation of the early Polish rulers and the long arc of sovereignty, Christianity, and Latin cultural influence. The point was made that Poland’s past should be acknowledged as part of the national identity, while caution was offered about foreign influence that could reorder national priorities.
Further remarks emphasized the importance of self-recognition, emotional intelligence, knowledge, and experience as tools for making future-oriented decisions. The speaker asserted that modern memory and historical awareness should guide the nation toward a stable and empowered future.
The discussion turned to concerns about external influences on Poland’s memory and sovereignty, with a warning against political configurations perceived as threats to national autonomy. The speaker urged voters to support a leadership that would uphold Poland’s independence and protect the interests of Polish citizens against perceived external pressures.
As the conversation moved toward policy directions, the speaker outlined a vision for national development and public investment. The themes included ambition, large-scale infrastructure projects, technological advancement, and a robust national economy. The remarks underscored the desire to create opportunities across ports, roads, and energy, framed as a path to future prosperity rather than mere opposition to competing agendas.
The speaker stressed that Poland should remain confident in its values and symbols, including national tradition, and should not fear the exercise of freedom in public life. The message was that a strong voice for the Polish people would defend their right to shape their country’s course without fear.
The closing sentiment expressed a firm conviction that progress is achievable through unity and perseverance. The room and the wider nation were invited to join in a collective effort toward a hopeful tomorrow, with a reminder of the time available to pursue victory and the importance of national solidarity.
