The President emphasized that May 1, 2004 was a very good day for Poland. – Several generations dreamed of returning to the political community of the Western world, a united Europe, and this has become our common fate. 20 years of our presence in the EU is a great success for each of us. Thousands of investments, excellent use of European funds, expansion of Polish companies in Europe. Just look around how Poland has changed during this time. We made great use of this period. But we are ambitious. We want to develop further, we need large, strategic investments such as the Central Communication Port, so that we can join the richest countries in Europe even faster – said Andrzej Duda.

European Parliament elections. Andrzej Duda: EU politicians are sometimes a difficult partner

– Being in the EU, we can influence its shape and set key directions. Our voice matters. That is why we must strive for Polish affairs in the European Union every day. Our great compatriot Pope John Paul II told us “Europe needs Poland, and Poland needs Europe.” These words are still valid, so we must actively participate in shaping the community, in accordance with the values ​​we have professed for over a thousand years. From the moment we joined the Christian nations of Europe, said the president.

According to the politician, “today we are witnessing a great dispute about the future shape of the European Union.” – There are disturbing trends towards federalization. There is talk of treaty changes that will limit the sovereignty of member states. Our presence in the European Union is Poland’s raison d’état, but we support a Europe of free nations, a Europe of homelands, said Andrzej Duda. – We know that politicians and EU officials can sometimes be a difficult partner. We have seen this many times in recent years. The interests of the EU bureaucracy and some member states often conflict with Polish ones. Every day in the EU there is a tough fight for the interests of individual countries and they must be pursued effectively. That is why the elections to the European Parliament, which will take place on June 9, will be so important, said Andrzej Duda and encouraged people to participate in them.
