PiS Crafts New Program
The two‑day convention, held under the motto “MyślącPolska” (Thinking Poland), concluded on Saturday with proceedings focused on drafting the party’s upcoming platform.

The event capped with Kaczyński’s speech, summarizing the party’s strategic direction for the upcoming election.
Kaczyński on “Tightening Muscles”
In his address, Kaczyński asserted that Poland “needs a real, great change” right now, highlighting the nation’s peak development relative to the most advanced countries.
He urged that Polish citizens should not waste opportunities and that the next election must decisively choose the party that can accelerate Poland’s growth, prosperity, and strength.
The call was aimed at party members, imploring them to “tighten muscles” and prepare for a vigorous campaign.
PiS President on Elections
Kaczyński emphasized that this election cannot be a simple re‑entree for the ruling camp; it must be a choice between either continuing the current policy path that leads to misfortune or adopting a new direction that could bring great success.
The convention opened the way forward, but Kaczyński stressed the enormous work ahead “through every district and every commune,” stressing the need to win the election.
He also stated that PiS is ready to “fix the budget and public finances.”
Kaczyński on Ideologies in Europe
The president noted that many political forces in Europe share the same opportunities and ought to be enlisted to shape a united, corruption‑free Europe.
He claimed the goal is to defend the global democracy against totalitarian and authoritarian threats and counter aggression, an issue he specifically linked to current developments in Poland.
The speech concluded with a pledge for a stronger, united Europe in the broader context of global democracy.
