“This is a national betrayal of Poland’s interests,” Marek Jakubiak declared on the program “Woronicza 17,” criticizing the conduct of liberal and left-leaning Polish lawmakers. He framed the discussion around the plan to revise European treaties, stressing the necessity of safeguarding Poland’s sovereignty and self-determination.
Reflecting on a history when Poland and its Eastern European neighbors stood under a framework of European influence, he warned that goodwill can pave a dangerous path. Independence, he argued, means resisting external control and preserving the country’s autonomy. Freedom, in his view, accompanies a strong sense of national identity. He cautioned that pursuing goals with only good intentions often leads to negative outcomes, citing the era of Comecon as a cautionary memory and questioning how today’s global currents align with those past lessons. He suggested that certain directions undermine independent decision-making and could cost lives or livelihoods if pursued uncritically.
In the studio, his remarks shifted to Dorota Olko of the Razem party, inviting a direct exchange on the matter.
He linked issues of collection, distribution, equality, standardized education, and uniformity in a single public framework, arguing that these policies are being advanced today. He expressed concern about a future where these ideas might be imposed without room for alternative approaches, voicing fear for the safety and prospects of his children and the wider generation.
State takeover
The 15th MP from Kukiz pointed to what he sees as ongoing actions and decisions by Polish Members of the European Parliament that compromise Poland’s national interests. He described the situation as an era where a form of takeover is possible through supranational processes, rather than through force of arms, asserting that the very vote in the European Parliament represents a powerful lever over national choices. He called the developments a scandal and a betrayal of Poland’s core interests, urging scrutiny and accountability from all involved.
Turning back toward Olko, he labeled opponents with a charged reference, framing them as aligned with other political blocs he distrusts. The studio exchange underscored a broader debate about Poland’s path within Europe, sovereignty, and the balance between national prerogatives and collective European governance.
