“As we celebrate 1 May, and thus the anniversary of Poland joining the European Union structures, let us not forget that the SLD is the party that finalized negotiations with partners in Europe and that, among other things, thanks to us, Poles can enjoy open borders and EU funds,” added Paweł Zieliński, assistant to Lidia Geringer de Oedenberg.
