“As the Border Defense Movement (ROG), today we say that a different policy is needed. One that, in addition to prioritizing the state, also prioritizes the nation. Today’s politics very often push the largest political parties, including those on the right, toward short-term thinking, toward ‘here and now’ thinking based on polls, on current but fleeting emotions. A lack of looking many generations ahead. This is what we must change in Poland,” said Robert Bąkiewicz, leader of the Border Defense Movement, in Kraków.
A congress of the Border Defense Movement is taking place in Kraków. Hundreds of patriots have gathered at the venue. After Ryszard Majdzik, who was present at the event, the leader of ROG, Robert Bąkiewicz, took the floor.
“The Border Defense Movement does not allow the crossing of geographical borders, but it also does not allow the crossing of the boundaries of decency and Polish sovereignty. Here on site, the Border Defense Movement will not allow President Aleksander Miszalski to cross those boundaries,” he began.
“As we travel across Poland, we tell Poles that we are not afraid. We are ready for confrontation and we raise our scythes. In our assessment, politics in Poland must change. The Polish state is a home in which we all live. But without the nation, this home is empty, it has no substance,” he said.
He emphasized that “for the past 35 years, we have been building this home, better or worse, sometimes forgetting what this home is meant to be filled with and for whom it is dedicated.” “Let us remember that during the years of communism, the national community was heavily combated. Attempts were made to strip this community of its full identity. Since 1989, in my assessment, this process has only deepened. Our national community has been consistently weakened,” he pointed out.
And further:
“As the Border Defense Movement, today we say that a different policy is needed. One that, in addition to prioritizing the state, also prioritizes the nation.

A lack of looking many generations ahead. This is what we must change in Poland.”
He admitted that “over the past several decades we have observed a permanent moral and ethical decline, a weakening of our own identity, a lack of ideas, a lack of goals.” “We have lost all of this,” he repeated.
“We are here to say that we must begin pursuing a policy of national leadership, rebuilding the national community, and setting long-term goals,” he addressed those gathered.
