The Prime Minister of Poland speaks of a new way of thinking about running the country. This fresh approach comes as a part of a broader reset in geopolitics and the global economy, a reset Morawiecki says Poland specifically needed in the latest podcast episode released on Wednesday.
In his new episode, the Prime Minister notes that recent years have felt like a world turned upside down.
Yet he also observes that in some sense there was a reset, with the world gradually finding its footing again.
He acknowledged that many parts of the globe are now seeking a new balance.
He added that he would not have looked for this balance if things had been better organized beforehand.
He explained that the Polish government’s task is to actively cooperate to set things right.
This moment marks the biggest potential leap for Poland in at least three decades, a chance to rise in the ranks of global economic and geopolitical players, Morawiecki said.
The head of government also highlighted key investments shaping the country’s future: Intel’s plan to invest 4.6 billion dollars and create 2,000 jobs at a semiconductor integration and testing plant near Wrocław, along with the start of polypropylene production at a new Grupa Azoty facility in Police, with a project budget exceeding 7.2 billion PLN.
Morawiecki described Intel’s investment as a milestone not just for its size but for the nature of the investments taking place in Poland.
This is a new kind of investment for the country, he noted.
Poland is becoming a crucial link in the microprocessor production chain, the essential building block of the modern world, he added.
He stated that the Miękinia project near Wrocław strengthens Poland’s independence and security, benefiting Europe as a whole, and that he personally oversaw the investment’s development.
Such an achievement would not exist without significant infrastructure and security investments, a national effort that relies on close cooperation with the United States, a favorable business climate, and Poland’s reputation as a land of educated, talented, and hardworking people, he stressed.
The Intel facility near Wrocław stands as a vivid example of opportunities seized.
One of the most important investments
Polimery Police is highlighted as one of the largest Polish investments in the Third Republic and the first of its kind in Europe in sixteen years. It leverages shorter supply chains and the opportunities that follow, underscoring the role of foreign investment in helping Poland narrow the development gap while stressing the need to invest in domestic growth and to nurture Polish capital, Morawiecki said, noting that this transformation reflects a change introduced by the ruling party upon taking office.
Looking back to the 2015 election, the Prime Minister recalled that clear goals and a solid plan were laid out. He argued that governance without aims or a strategy leaves room for others to define the path, a situation no longer acceptable as Poland embarks on a fresh phase of governance.
He concluded that thinking about running the country has undergone a reset, and that beyond geopolitics and the global economy, this is the sole reset Poland needed.
