Those who came to the meeting primarily asked what Robert Biedroń could offer people who want to find their place in politics other than the proposed Platforma versus Prawo i Sprawiedliwość arrangement. The participants did not hide the fact that they were interested in what the Movement has to offer its supporters.

“We have children and we want them to have a better future,” said one of the participants. “We are looking for a place in a civic party, not a leader-centered one, and if someone builds such a party in Poland, we will follow it,” the meeting participant stated in a conversation with Grażyna Hanaf.

A great deal of time was devoted to separating church and state. Although those present at the meeting said that most of them were believers and that the church and faith were important to them, they did not want a religious state, but a secular one. It was repeatedly emphasized that there is a tremendous need for a normal, civic and friendly social movement. There is an equally great need for the Robert Biedroń Movement to fulfill these hopes.

Robert Obaza briefly presented the Movement’s program. Everything included in Robert Biedroń’s program is developed through brainstorming sessions. The next ones will be held in Jelenia Góra and Głogów. Robert gathers ideas for Poland from people, from the grassroots, and specialists then analyze these ideas. This is an innovative way of looking at Poland and the problems of Poles. To date, no party has used such a simple tool on such a scale as asking citizens what suits them and what they want to improve or change in their country.

Social issues are very important in the Movement’s program. The prepared program contains a great deal about labor law, the minimum wage, teachers and new forms of teaching in schools. The program calls for a secular state and renegotiation of the concordat. It includes a firm rejection of religion classes in schools and taxation of priests. Poland faces a major challenge: senior citizens. Senior policy occupies a significant place in the Movement’s program. This is not only about building geriatric wards. We are living longer and remain active. In the Movement’s view, this social group should be activated so that it can be a full-fledged part of society and derive satisfaction from life. The program also calls for increased healthcare spending in order to reach European standards.
