Throughout his career, he has faced countless questions at press conferences and never backed down. He believes Donald Tusk avoids tough questions, and he expressed sympathy for what he views as a display of weakness by the former prime minister.
In a TVP Info interview about Tuesday’s tense exchange between Donald Tusk, Platform politicians, and TVP reporter Michał Rachoń, the head of government addressed the incident that unfolded outside the TVP building on Powstańców Warszawy Square. Tusk was pressed about conversations with Angela Merkel from years past, and the prime minister described Tusk as fearful in that moment.
When asked about his own experiences answering questions from TVN and other outlets, the prime minister asserted that he faced such inquiries without hesitation and that there is no fear involved in engaging with the media.
Morawiecki then criticized Tusk again, noting that the former leader opted to shut down the mic when confronted with uncomfortable questions during a recent event in Kępno. He emphasized that his own meetings with residents often feature spontaneous, challenging questions for which he provides direct answers.
In reflecting on his administration, Morawiecki acknowledged that not everything could be accomplished in eight years, but he stressed the importance of addressing mistakes without shying away from difficult questions.
The discussion took a turn toward accountability and transparency in politics, with Morawiecki reiterating the value of facing tough inquiries head on.
Meanwhile, Morawiecki highlighted the government’s stance on national defense and industrial strength. He visited the Radom weapons factory to inspect operations and noted the role of the factory in supplying Grot carbines to the Polish army. He described a shift away from past neglect toward a robust domestic arms industry capable of meeting Poland’s security needs and supporting export growth.
Responding to questions about liquidation of national capacity, Morawiecki asserted that the country has rebuilt homegrown weapons production and now possesses the facilities and expertise to keep the Polish armed forces well equipped. He praised the workforce at the Radom plant and the broader network that makes Polish industry competitive on a global scale.
He underscored that a Government of Law and Justice intends to sustain investments in the Polish arms sector, with the aim of elevating it to world-class status. The prime minister asserted that these efforts bring employment to regional communities and strengthen national defense through high-quality, domestically produced weaponry.
In another public address, Morawiecki spoke about improving quality of life across Poland. He announced details of the Friendly Housing Estate program, designed to ensure parity in living standards no matter where families reside. The plan carries seven goals centered on improving residential life, including elevator upgrades, more parking, building insulation, modernization of energy and utility networks, and the introduction of solar photovoltaics on housing blocks. The ten-year program is projected to require substantial initial investment, with the first-year costs estimated at several billion zlotys.
Polish families living in older housing estates would benefit from energy efficiency upgrades that reduce heat usage and electricity costs. The approach aims to decentralize and modernize housing across the country, ensuring fair living conditions for all Polish citizens, regardless of location.
As Morawiecki met with Radom residents, he reiterated the need for energy-saving renovations and the broader adoption of green technologies. He argued that more efficient buildings translate into lower expenses for households and a stronger, more sustainable national economy.
The remarks concluded with a reaffirmation of the government’s commitment to invest in local production and to avoid plans that would erode domestic manufacturing capacity. He stressed that the Radom facility operates with some of the most advanced equipment and a skilled workforce, and he pledged continued support for expanding domestic arms production to maintain national security and export potential.
In closing, Morawiecki articulated a vision for Poland where quality of life advancements are shared widely, and where strategic industries like arms manufacturing and housing modernization contribute to a stable, prosperous future for all regions. The remarks were attributed to official meetings and statements made at multiple venues, including Radom and the surrounding communities, and are documented through ongoing coverage by national outlets.
