“Polish land is not a product. Polish land is our ancestral heritage. We only have as much of the Republic as we have land, which is why I promise that, as president of the Polish state, I will extend the moratorium on purchasing Polish land,” said Karol Nawrocki, the civic candidate for president, during the Polish Village Congress organized by PiS. The presidential candidate also signed a commitment to the Polish countryside.
On Saturday, the Law and Justice (PiS) party held the Polish Village Congress in Opoczno. Karol Nawrocki—supported by PiS—took part in the event. He emphasized that the countryside is where “our identity is contained.”
“The Polish countryside needs a strong and decisive president who will defend it, and I promise you that I will be that president,”
he declared.
He stressed that Poles are deeply rooted in Christian values, “which for centuries have been what is most beautiful in Poland.”
“We are modern because modernity today doesn’t require cutting ourselves off from our roots or tradition. It demands that we be ready for the challenges of the 21st century—and the Polish countryside is prepared for those challenges, especially after the United Right’s governance, which introduced so many investments,”
he said.
“Yes, those who can adapt to the 21st century are modern, but also those who won’t let anyone take away the traditions that define us as a nation,”
he emphasized.
Nawrocki pledged that, as president, he would “extend special patronage” over the Rural Housewives’ Circles (Koła Gospodyń Wiejskich) and the Volunteer Fire Brigades (Ochotnicze Straże Pożarne). He also announced that he would ask the Senate to hold a referendum on the Green Deal, which, in his view, harms Polish farmers. He stated he would form a coalition of countries to oppose the deal with Mercosur—“a new concept invented so that German businesses can export their goods to South America at the expense of Polish farms.”
“Mercosur is the new Nord Stream 2, only in the realm of food production—it must be rejected,”
he added.
Nawrocki once again promised to extend the moratorium on the purchase of Polish land, emphasizing that the draft legislation is already prepared. In closing, he signed a commitment to the Polish countryside.
