On Wednesday, conferences will discuss allegations that a leading Polish party has pursued a policy it claims fragments the country into regional divisions. A planned information campaign, including mobile billboards in eastern provinces, is also mentioned by a spokesperson.
Declassified documents and the image of surrender
According to the spokesperson, Poles have been surprised by what the government has allegedly prepared for them.
Released documents about Polish defense plans in the event of aggression from the east, and reportedly signed by a former defense minister, suggest a picture of capitulation and perceived betrayal by the coalition government toward many citizens, particularly in eastern regions, who might suffer from reduced defense in a war scenario.
The spokesperson noted that the document, which was approved and released years later, aligns with long-standing criticisms about reduced investment in eastern Poland, potential impacts on the arms industry, and the idea that parts of the country were being written off.
The spokesperson argued that these developments hint at strategic choices that could affect Poland’s eastern regions, suggesting a line of perceived betrayal by political opponents.
Another remark suggested that some observers might conclude either that leadership had failed to consider external perspectives or that there were calculated, cynical calculations that could leave portions of the country at risk.
The statements frame the discussed circumstances as discrediting the opposition’s political positions.
The overall event was described as part of a broader geopolitical narrative, allegedly coordinated outside of the capital.

Press conferences along a mentioned political line
Press conferences are planned to highlight what is described as harmful policy and division of the country, with references to the alleged lines of policy that separate regions by perceived prosperity levels.
The spokesperson stated that these discussions were more than casual remarks, representing a broader political stance referenced by the opposition in public discourse.
As noted by the spokesperson, a campaign along a line described as the “betrayal line” includes mobile billboards in eastern provinces formerly perceived as neglected by the government grid.
“Eastern Poland is cited as a focal point,” the spokesperson stated. The campaign is framed as part of broader political messaging about regional security and defense positioning.
“Eastern Poland matters”
A new message campaign was published online emphasizing that the eastern regions deserve consideration and that defense strategies should reflect concerns of residents who might not align with the ruling party’s platform.
The message referenced defense doctrine emphasizing a line near the Vistula as a historical reference point.
The overarching point is framed as an effort to shape the debate around national security and regional balance.
The content underscores the importance of a secure future for the nation.
