Security policy across divisions
Today, Poland chooses to align with the Republic of Poland’s interests and, after careful analysis, to implement a united security policy that rises above partisan divides. This stance was articulated by Marcin Przydacz, head of the President’s Office of International Policy, during a Thursday panel at Defense Day, organized by the Defense 24 portal.
The discussion focused on how political divisions can cooperate on safety issues. Przydacz highlighted the need for unity in both domestic and international arenas, pointing to the unanimous sanctions imposed by EU members on Russia after its aggression against Ukraine as a clear example of effective collaboration.
Unity in action is the tangible result of coordinated effort, he noted, emphasizing that there is now a moment for all Poles and the political class to stand firm on Poland’s interests. With the right strategy and solid analysis, the security and eastern policy has been executed in a consistent manner.
Przydacz stressed that this moment calls for complete alignment across the political spectrum, from left to right, so that Poland’s security and diplomatic goals are pursued with a common purpose.
Strengthening national defense capabilities
One of the most important pillars of the security framework, he said, is the reinforcement of national defense in line with North Atlantic Treaty principles. The effort is underway under the leadership of the president, who serves as Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, in close cooperation with the government. He stressed that substantial progress has been made in recent years and that the public should recognize this ongoing advancement.
Building stronger alliances
The second pillar identified is the strengthening of alliances, especially with key partners such as the United States and the United Kingdom, alongside collaborations with Central and Eastern European neighbors. He noted that shared security interests with Lithuania, Slovakia, and Romania emphasize common threats and mutual commitments.
Two parallel regional strategies were outlined: the Bucharest Nine, which contributes to NATO’s internal discussions, and the Three Seas Initiative, which advances joint security and infrastructure projects. Both efforts are aimed at creating a more resilient regional security framework.
Supporting those who defend liberty
The third pillar centers on backing those who actively defend independence and promote a world consistent with Poland’s values. The stance on Ukraine is framed not only as solidarity but as a long term national interest benefiting Poland’s security and stability.
In this spirit, Przydacz urged analysts, diplomats, and politicians to assess reality accurately, draw concrete conclusions that serve Poland’s state interests, and engage in constructive dialogues to advance common goals.
In conclusion, the call is for cross-division cooperation that strengthens national sovereignty, sustains strategic partnerships, and supports efforts toward a more secure and stable region for Poland and its allies. [Source: Defense Day proceedings, Defense 24]
