“Rafał Trzaskowski, as the deputy to Donald Tusk, is to become the president of the Polish state managed by joystick or control panel by Prime Minister Donald Tusk. And this is something we do not want today. We see the current state of modern Poland, the condition of our public finances, and how our national aspirations and dreams are being strangled,” said Karol Nawrocki, the presidential candidate endorsed by Law and Justice (PiS), during a meeting in Konin.
Karol Nawrocki in Konin
Karol Nawrocki arrived in Konin yesterday. In his speech, he spoke about the consequences of a potential electoral victory by Rafał Trzaskowski, the deputy leader of Civic Platform (PO).
“Rafał Trzaskowski, as Donald Tusk’s deputy, is to serve as the president of a Polish state managed by joystick or control panel by Prime Minister Donald Tusk. And this is something we do not want today. We see the state of modern Poland, the state of our public finances, and how our national aspirations and dreams are being strangled,”
he stated.
He added, “We are a nation that must continually aim high. We must focus on lofty goals; we must be a nation full of aspirations and ambition.”
“We must collectively, as a national community, implement plans that will allow us to win international and geopolitical competition. There is no other path for us. This is not only the lesson of Polish history, but also simple logic. Our geographical position demands ambition. Grand plans and dreams are dying today in Donald Tusk’s Poland. We are to become mediocre and mentally return to thinking of ourselves as a condominium—a derivative of the interests of Brussels and Berlin. Yet we are not a colonial or postcolonial state. We are a great nation with aspirations, and it is toward such a Poland that I want to lead you—a Poland full of dreams and grand projects,”
he emphasized.
He also drew attention to the unfavourable changes in the Central Communication Port (CPK) project.
“Unfortunately, a project such as the CPK has already changed its formula. It is no longer a wheel with all its spokes but has become a wheel with only two. This is just a symbol. In Konin, a nuclear power plant was to be built, representing a major opportunity for this region. Today, Poland is losing both its central and local ambitions and aspirations. We cannot allow this to happen,”
he noted.
He further stressed, “Poles should not be paying such electricity bills when we have academies that know exactly how to reduce emissions from Polish coal mines. We should be extracting Polish coal and developing the Republic in anticipation of nuclear energy.”
“You Will Not Take Away Our Dreams and Aspirations”
“Renewable energy sources—yes, if they are socially acceptable. We cannot erect wind turbines in memorial sites and places that lack social acceptance. But we can invest in renewables—only this will not bring us energy stability. Our path to energy stability lies in the pursuit of nuclear power, dreams, and aspirations. Mr. Prime Minister, Konin is crying out: You will not take away our dreams and aspirations—not in Poland, and not in Konin,”
he declared.
