Date of Birth18 June 1949
loss diversity political
The diversity of our cultures is Europe's greatest asset. We have to preserve this asset. And any political intervention that reduces this diversity is a loss to Europe.
diversity community
We Poles are and will remain convinced Europeans. For us, Europe is a community of the diversity of nations. No mishmash.
home forever one-day
Poland does not want to remain a net recipient of EU subsidies forever. On the contrary: we want the right to develop in a fair market, and by this right, we want to one day catch up with Germany in terms of welfare and economic power. This will not take 100 years! And then many Poles who emigrated will be able to return home.
religious believe democracy
Primarily, Warsaw and Brussels share the central basic values of the EU: human dignity, democracy, and the religious freedom of every single human being. We believe in these values.
country
Poland is a sovereign state. We want the same rights as all other EU countries. Nothing more, but nothing less, either.
political reason
In Poland, nobody is arrested or persecuted for political reasons.
party freedom-of-speech democracy
A single party is ruling in Hungary, but democracy and the freedom of speech are still in place.
fit similarity
There might be many similarities between Erdogan and Putin. We can see that in the current developments, unfortunately. But Viktor Orban seriously does not fit in that list.
manipulation manners bad-manners
Unfortunately, manipulation and defamation are part of the bad manners that have been prevailing in Poland's politics for ten years now.
There cannot be a federal state of Europe without all citizens receiving the same benefits and rights.
country lying real
Brexit was not a historical accident, after all. It taught us where the EU's real problems lie. And if we do not solve them, we will not prevent the anti-European currents in many EU countries, but rather encourage them.
solutions
Angela Merkel is the best solution for Poland.
thinking imagine
I would like to hear from Chancellor Merkel what she was thinking when opening the borders. I cannot imagine at all what it was.
mother father past
For Germany, Poland is now a more important trade partner than Russia. With respect to history, our peoples will require more time for the wounds to heal. But it is also important to stick to the truth in accounting for the past. This is not compatible with, for instance, TV movies such as "Our mothers, our fathers" that try to partly shift the liability for Nazi crimes to us Poles.
