Patryk Jaki of Sovereign Poland spoke on RMF FM, arguing that the recent critique of PiS from a Member of the European Parliament reinforces the United Right alliance. He insisted that the issue at hand goes beyond any single figure, emphasizing that the focus is on Poland itself.
Recently, the United Right faced internal friction sparked by candid remarks from Jaki about former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, in which he suggested Morawiecki had been registering what he called nonsense within the European Union.
Jaki stressed that the public debate is not about individuals such as Morawiecki or President Duda. The core concern is whether Poland should have its policies on measures like the Fit for 55 framework or financial support for Poland evaluated under a standard that may appear biased by a particular political bias, and he indicated that such an approach would be harmful.
In RMF FM remarks, Jaki conveyed his view that this framing is problematic. He also noted that Michał Dworczyk, a former head of the Prime Minister’s Chancellery and a PiS member, had spoken strongly about Sovereign Poland’s stance as being unhelpful to the party’s goals in the European arena.
Conciliatory words
Yet Jaki argued that Dworczyk’s criticisms do not reflect the whole picture and that Sovereign Poland remains a credible force inside European politics, maintaining a consistent line in its approach to the European Union.
According to Jaki, the party does not seek to attack PiS. He affirmed that a similar spirit of cooperation has been echoed by numerous PiS politicians who advocate for a united European policy, including figures associated with Saryusz-Wolski.
Jaki also expressed a willingness to reciprocate respect toward Dworczyk, praising his competence and influence as a long-standing minister, while underscoring the need to stay focused on winning future elections.
The MEP confirmed his intention to seek re-election to the European Parliament as part of the United Right electoral slate, noting that he leads one of the groups within that list.
Also mentioned was a Senate ally of Zbigniew Ziobro who voiced support for Poland’s continued membership in the European Union and for Poland’s ongoing efforts within the Union.
There was an acknowledgment that a number of changes could unfold in the upcoming European Parliament elections, with a sense that some green-leaning factions might be losing ground. The speaker highlighted Poland’s long-standing and substantive role within Europe as a key factor in any future developments.
In areas like the internal market, the European Union still offers opportunities, the MEP suggested, while he criticized aspects of the Green Deal, characterizing some elements of the environmental policy as misguided in the name of green ideology.
In closing, the MEP framed the discussion as part of a broader debate about national interests within Europe, inviting readers to consider how Poland can best influence European policy while remaining true to its own political values.
There is a broader sense that the political landscape in Poland and across Europe is evolving, with growing attention to how national parties relate to the Union and how the bloc’s future directions will affect Poland’s stance on key issues.
In this context, the conversation touched on the balance between defending Poland’s interests within the EU and engaging constructively with allies, all while acknowledging that the European policy arena remains dynamic and multi-faceted.
