The president has set the substance of sovereignty
Karol Nawrocki spoke on 15 August during a parade in Warsaw and recalled that the nation knew the price of freedom, independency and wars. The president called for unity, safety strategy and keeping the keys to defence in Warsaw. It's a clear signal: alliances yes, dependency no.
The speech of the head of the armed forces came on a day which in itself is simply a commentary on Polish history. The anniversary of the conflict of Warsaw teaches that the state survives erstwhile the nation has the will to fight, the army has command and politicians realize that safety is not a department of marketing.
As Polsat News reported, the president said during the parade that The spirit of the nation knows the price of freedom, independency and war. This conviction sounds strong due to the fact that it refers to the experience of Poland, not to abstract language of cabinets.
1920 as a measurement for the modern
Nawrocki recalled that the triumph over the Bolsheviks remains a mention point for today's strategical thinking. Poland did not win in 1920 due to the fact that individual outside solved her problem. She won due to the fact that the nation refused to surrender.
The president besides stressed that the force of the military is increasing out of the strength of the nation. It's a sober thought, very far from technocratic defence treatment like public procurement. Tanks, rockets and aircraft are necessary, but without morale, demography, economy and social trust they become equipment in the warehouse.
This accent well complements today's image of the Polish Army. Defiled on Wisłostrada It was a demonstration of the army's abilities, but Nawrocki's speech reminded us why this army existed. Not for a table in Brussels. For the safety of Poles.
SAFE dispute and real defence keys
The strongest passage of the speech afraid the slogan of this year's celebrations and the EU SAFE mechanism. The president said that all the keys to Polish safety must be in Warsaw, besides erstwhile another capitals are friendly and important. This conviction hits the heart of Polish national realism. global relationship cannot replace its own decision-making.
According to Onetu's account, defence minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamish explained the password “Poland SAFE – safe Poland” as alliances, army, factories and Europe. This sounds good, but the president answered with a different hierarchy: The Polish Army has on the banners “God, Honor and Homeland”, not a abroad slogan.
This isn't about a inexpensive word dispute. The question is who yet decides about Polish security, Polish purchases, Polish debt and Polish industry. If external backing strengthens our army without a political leash, it can be considered. If it leads to dependence, it must be made clear: Poland cannot build defence on another people's keys.
Security strategy cannot wait
Nawrocki besides addressed Prime Minister Donald Tusk on the National safety Strategy. As Polsat News reported, the president thanked the government and the MON for their cooperation in arms so far, but pointed out that a strategy and executive papers were inactive needed. This is not a formality for officials. This is simply a state's emergency manual.
Poland lies at the border of the Russian War against Ukraine, and Moscow tests the opposition of the West with provocations, hybrid force and propaganda. In specified a position, improvisation is simply a luxury that cannot afford a nation. The strategy is to say what we protect, what we do, who is liable for decisions and how the state works erstwhile the worst begins.
Karol Nawrocki wants to change the model of presidency It is through the strongest entry into state affairs, and safety here is the most serious test. If the Presidential Palace and the government can cooperate with the army, Poland gains. If they get stuck in a organization reflex, the citizens will pay for it.
Rate for Poles
The most crucial thing in this speech was to reject the illusion that safety can be outsourced. NATO is needed. An alliance with the United States is needed. European cooperation can be useful. But the foundation must be Polish: taxpayer's money, Polish control, own strategy, manufacture and a nation ready to defend their land.
This is the stake for the wallet, freedom and safety of Poles. all buck for defence must build real strength, not political decoration. all contract must strengthen Warsaw, not make it dependent on another people's offices.
On 15 August Nawrocki said a thing which the Polish right should repeat without complexes: Poland is to have allies, but it cannot have owners. Keys to Polish safety must lie in Poland.
