When individual tries to take our religion distant from us, at the same time they take distant any important, inalienable part of Polishness, which we must never give back; it is good that farmers remember this," said president Andrzej Duda during Jasna Góra Dożynek in Czestochowa.
The president thanked the farmers at Jasna Góra for their work, emphasizing their historical contribution to the construction of the Polish statehood and the fight for independency in various periods, as well as their function in the modern Polish economy and ensuring the food safety of the country.
Andrzej Duda said, among another things, that the festival in Jasna Góra is an different minute erstwhile people of the Polish village bring fruit to their work and thank the parent of God for their care, coming there "as to the most crucial farm, which is her farm in Jasna Góra, which is in fact the farm of our full Republic".
– Thank you for being here as our tradition has commanded, built for over a 1000 years, the Christian tradition upon which our culture, our everyday life and our nation's existence, as well as the endurance and existence of our state for centuries and, above all, the nation said the President.
He stressed that Polish farmers "are alive and armed" – they supply food safety and are 1 of the pillars of the Polish economy. He added that his presence at Jasna Góra was an chance to thank and pray for Polish farmers, while appreciating their contribution to the centuries of Poland's development.
Referring to the 85th anniversary of the beginning of the Second planet War, the Nazi German attack on Poland, Andrzej Duda pointed out that then, people from Polish villages besides stood up for defence.
– So, in September 1939, as well as in accordance with the tradition and this eternal call to the defence of the Republic, as they had stood before in 1920 on the call of Vincent Witos to defend Poland from the russian invasion, so they were besides ready in 39 and stood to defend their homeland and fight for it throughout the period of planet War II in guerrilla troops, on both fronts. - He was enumerating.
The president stressed that for this resistance, for the preservation of the tradition of Polishness, the Polish village paid a horrendously advanced price: the price of persecution, pacification, exports to Germany, suffering.
Recalling his morning speech in Wieluń, Andrzej Duda pointed out that he mentioned in him the pacifications experienced by Polish villages, any of which were not able to rebuild until today, specified as Mazowiecki Wanata, Ochotnica Dolna in Podhale or Michniów, which, as he pointed out, was a monument to the martyrdom and conflict of the Polish village, for free independent Poland, the liberation of Poland, from the Nazi occupation. He besides said that after planet War II, farmers stood up for their fatherhood – the land, so as not to undergo collectivization, communism.
– Polish farmer defended religion and land. You did not let yourself rip off our large Christian tradition so powerfully in the Polish village rooted. You didn't let yourself get away, root out, take distant your fathers. This is why Poland has survived these most difficult, terrible periods – turned to the gathered Andrzej Duda.
– It was besides from the Polish village that the “Solidarity” of Individual Farmers came out, which yet together with the large labour movement of “Solidarity” restored free, sovereign independent Poland and overturned the Berlin Wall. This is besides a large credit to the Polish village – stressed. – Thank you for all of this, as president of the Republic of Poland – he added.
He thanked for the presence of the current and erstwhile ministers of agriculture, stating that "it is crucial for the Polish village to stand together here, at home, kneeling before the image of the Częstochowa parent of the Blessed, the Black Madonna".
– Let this besides be the answer for all those who say that we do not request religion and that we do not request to teach it to young people. It was thanks to her, among another things, that we survived the most hard times erstwhile in it we found support – noted what happened to the applause collected. – When individual tries to take it distant from us, at the same time they take distant any important, inalienable part of Polishness that we must never give back He warned me.
– We're besides here to make certain we're awake. I know that present the Polish farmer asks himself quite a few questions, and at the heart of his concern about the future, about the profitability of agricultural production, about how our agriculture will proceed to look towards changing rules, besides in the European Union, which clearly besides affects our situation – he said.
He assessed that there were many questions, many uncertainties to which a very circumstantial answer had to be made, "not only so that farmers knew what they could expect, but besides so that we could effectively prevent attempts at bad changes that would harm agriculture." In his opinion, the Polish Presidency of the EU Council next year will require a "serious discussion" on agriculture in the EU.
With respect to the harm caused to farmers by this year's adverse atmospheric events, the president called on the Minister of Agriculture to fund the victims. – Also in order to give farmers a sense of certainty, certainty of work, stableness of activity on farms, besides this year these measures must be found; I can assure the Minister that in this respect he can number on support, (...) I believe that he will besides be able to number on the support of the opposition – he said.
He besides referred to the next year's presidential election, calling for a broad participation in it. – Let this turnout at the presidential election be high, at least as during the last presidential election, possibly even higher than in the last parliamentary election – He appealed.
– Let us go in group to the polls and turn our vote to this candidate, whom we will consider to be the best for Poland for the next years, due to the fact that as we know, time is hard and in terms of those European decisions that will be taken, but besides in terms of security He did.
He stressed that it was essential to strengthen the safety so that it would never happen again what happened in 1939, that, despite the heroism of Polish soldiers, they were incapable to defend their homeland, due to the fact that they did not have adequate equipment to fight the military power of the Nazi German crowd.
– Why? due to the fact that they were neglected. due to the fact that the authorities did not in time begin the process of modernization of the army and so there was no modern aviation in sufficient... quantity. Therefore, there were no modern tanks that would have been able to defend the Republic of Poland from that storm of Nazi Germany. Let it never happen again and so the authorities must be elected responsibly, with the president of the Republic at the head – explained.
– Allah rewards you for this year's work, and Allah rewards you for all your crops. God bless you. May the Lord God and the Blessed parent defend Polish farmers and Polish countryside – concluded Andrzej Duda.
