A prominent political figure voiced a clear warning about the current historical moment. He argued that Poland stands at a crossroads: to the east, the country faces imperial ambitions from Russia under Putin, while to the west, Germany and much of the European Union are shaped by a left-leaning bloc that he described as a single federal state. These observations were shared during a broadcast of Polish Point of View, a program hosted by Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro on TV Trwam. He also referred to documents he claimed came from the German government that discuss ideas about dissolving nation-states altogether.
The speaker insisted that Poland should strive to build a single sovereign state. He suggested that if a new order emerged, those in control would not be Polish citizens, and he implied that Poland would be sidelined in its own future. He stressed that agreement with such a development was not possible for Poland.
He pointed out that having an independent national policy, backed by a sovereign Poland and a strong relationship with the United States, would mean Ukraine could receive broader support, while Germany and, to some extent, France would be watched closely. He warned that if there were a unified military structure erasing NATO’s distinct roles, it could undermine Ukraine’s security and place Poland in a precarious position at the edge of a potential confrontation with Russia. The goal, in his view, should be to prevent any arrangement that would allow Russia to set terms near Poland’s borders.
This perspective formed a central theme of his analysis, as he described the evolving geopolitical landscape and the risks of shared security arrangements that might undermine national sovereignty.
A task for Poland
The speaker asserted that Poland faces a significant challenge. He argued that Poland has seen efforts to reform delayed or blocked under the guise of protecting minority rights and cardinal rights. He suggested that the rule of law issue has evolved into a pretext for undermining the integrity of the Polish state. He emphasized that foreign commentators and political movements outside Poland’s borders have expressed desires to dissolve nation-states and, by extension, weaken Poland itself. He claimed these ideas were reflected in documents and treaty discussions within Europe’s institutions. He insisted that Sovereign Poland would not accept such plans, even if it meant remaining out of formal chamber votes or coalitions.
The speaker shared a personal conviction that there are matters more important than partisan considerations. He expressed a readiness to defend Polish sovereignty if needed and spoke with confidence about achieving victory because core values have their own strength and resilience.
He asserted that some who influence European policy have taken hold of the idea of the European Union, portraying it as a community of sovereign states with respect for distinct cultures. In his view, this heritage is being replaced by a push toward uniformity, ideological imposition, and what he views as identity suppression.
