‘I welcome all candidate among the candidates for the office of president of Poland with enthusiasm. Poland is crucial and many candidates want to present their programmes. If this is so that Poland is developing, it is good information for all voters," said Karol Nawrocki at a press conference in Zakopane, where he was asked, among others, about Krzysztof Stanowski's decision to take part in the presidential elections.
The press conference was devoted to the tourism industry.
Winter break has begun. For children and families it will be a time of well-deserved remainder from education. But it will besides be a time of very intense, hard work of small, medium-sized entrepreneurs from the tourism industry. (...) It is crucial that in the years 2022-2024 tourist traffic increased by 20 percent throughout Małopolska. This shows how large the tourist, landscape, cultural possible is of Polish Podhale and Zakopane. I hope that 2025 will be the year in which this 20% origin will find its reflection
“Nawrocki said.
Many statistic say that Małopolska and Pomerania are the places that Poles usually choose for their vacation. You may remember that before 15 October 2023, especially during the crisis, during the crisis of covid, tourist vouchers operated, which were an impulse for tourism
“remembered.
Nawrocks at the conference talked about 3 factors that affect the improvement of the tourism manufacture in Podhale.
Guests from abroad, especially the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia, are increasingly utilizing Zakopane. (...) On the 1 hand, they can remainder just as beautifully as in their countries, or even more beautiful, but in Poland in Podhale you can relax cheaper. Polish zloty is simply a warrant of the improvement of tourist traffic from another European countries. The second origin that causes visitors from Saudi Arabia or the mediate East to be in Zakopane is the question of the safety and professionalism of Polish state services
He stressed, adding that at his meetings with Poles he frequently hears that “the police are not doing well.”
At all meetings in Poland, officers in civilians tell me that the Polish police are not doing well. Taking care of police officers, uniforms is simply a task for the future president
He stressed.
The 3rd origin is investment in road infrastructure. In the years 2022-2023, thanks to many central projects, investments besides in powiats, Polish roads developed
“ He said.
Nawrocks on the “big repatriation program”
There was besides time for journalists to ask questions at the conference. 1 of them active deficiency of hands to work in tourism. Nawrocki was asked whether it was possible to lead to more Poles returning from emigration to Poland.
We realize that Polish society is ageing, that this has an impact on the Polish economy. The statistic are terrifying. In 2100, we could be little than 30 million. The president's occupation is to think in terms of the distant future, the next decades. There's definitely a demography issue on my show. I'm besides working on a large repatriation program. It seems necessary. There cannot be a situation erstwhile there is force on Poland for illegal migrants, and on the another hand many Poles outside the borders of Poland have no offers to return to Poland. specified a program is needed, possibly it will halt depopulation trends
“He said.
Nawrocki was besides asked about Polish-American relations.
The situation led to Donald Tusk with his gestures, innuendos and a situation in which Poland does not have its ambassador in the US is worrying and affects the sense of safety of Poles
“He said.
He besides referred to the appeal of Rafał Trzaskowski, who called on the government to limit Ukrainians' payout of 800+.
First of all, I think that Rafał Trzaskowski can change his position by 180 degrees in 24 hours, so I would alternatively not comment on the fresh postulates of Trzaskowski, due to the fact that I don't know if he's lost in it, due to the fact that I'm lost in what Rafał Trzaskowski wants. This is no longer a serious political debate, due to the fact that I wonder how much Rafal Trzaskowski is in Rafal Trzaskowski
“ He admitted.
If social benefits are in a situation where Poles feel that Ukrainian representatives in Poland are better off surviving than Poles, this is unacceptable to me
He stressed.
