The chairperson of the Sejm, Szymon Hołownia, did not clearly state a position on the Centralny Port Komunikacyjny, or CPK. One observer suggested that people already running for seats in the Sejm should take a stance on such critical issues. A PiS member of parliament, Łukasz Schreiber, appeared on wPolsce.pl and noted that it was unclear who would decide now whether the project is necessary, and what direction the party or government should take at this moment.

Schreiber emphasized that even the Prime Minister’s representative for the CPK, Maciej Lasek, who had previously shown reluctance toward the project, affirmed that the investment would be pursued. He also pointed out that Lasek himself indicated the CPK would be established, signaling a shift in position within the government circle.

Among the remarks, the PiS MP and a candidate for mayor of Bydgoszcz highlighted that polls show Polish citizens support building the CPK. He argued that public sentiment mattered and that the project has tangible benefits for the nation. From his city’s point of view, he explained, the initiative would shorten rail travel to about two hours or even less, which is the kind of infrastructure improvement many expect for Poland.

The main takeaway, according to Schreiber, is that the project is not solely about the airport. It encompasses the broader infrastructure framework that would connect regions more efficiently and bolster the country’s logistical capabilities. He stressed that the investment carries strategic importance beyond civilian use, touching on national security and military readiness.

From his perspective, logistics plays an increasingly pivotal role in modern warfare. The ability to mobilize forces quickly and reposition logistics is essential for a capable military response, and the CPK is seen as a key component of this capability. The argument highlighted is that efficient transport networks are not just about comfort or business, but about strengthening Poland’s strategic resilience.

These points came as part of broader coverage on Polish television, with the discussion reflecting how political narratives around the CPK have evolved. Some observers linked the debate to the stance of various party actors, including ongoing dialogues about the project’s scope and timing.

The reportage also pointed to a draft PiS resolution concerning the CPK and echoed statements by political figures who emphasized the project as potentially the most significant in Poland’s recent political history. The conversation underscored the sense among supporters that the CPK could redefine the country’s transport corridors and economic landscape in the years ahead. The coverage cited a range of viewpoints and the evolving posture of key decision makers, illustrating how the issue remains central to debates on national development and security strategy.
