At the beginning of the meeting, PiS supporters in Bolesławiec heard a reprimand from Adam Lipiński. The politician said plainly that the PiS structures in Bolesławiec consisted of a dozen or so people, that there had been splits and discord there, and that with such limited human resources the party would not win elections. Several PiS supporters sitting in the front rows muttered under their breath that Lipiński was distorting reality.
Chairman Kaczyński began his speech by listing three positive developments he noticed in Poland: an increasingly well-educated youth, a doubling of GDP, and the development of the country thanks to subsidies from the European Union.
Jarosław Kaczyński praised, among other things, the renovation of the Old Theatre in Bolesławiec, but he was mistaken and expressed his disapproval that Maria Peszek had performed there. He was most likely not given the accurate information that the people of Bolesławiec had watched Jan Peszek—the father of Maria—on the theatre stage.
The disaster that Jarosław Kaczyński spoke about at length and vividly at the rally in Bolesławiec is supposed to occur if PiS does not come to power. The economy will then slow down, a national disaster will occur, Poles will become childless, there will be no money for pensions, and the inefficient judicial system will regress even further.
The only remedy for this tragedy is Law and Justice. The party will above all prevent theft, stop corruption, introduce patriotic education and discipline in schools, and counteract the crisis caused by the destruction of the national community. In addition, in Bolesławiec, Chairman Kaczyński will defend the Polish character of these lands, which, according to him, is under threat in our area.
Kaczyński solemnly promised to lower the retirement age to 60 for women and 65 for men, with the right to work until the age of 67, because, as he said, many women want to work that long.
He will also defend Polish interests and Polish identity and support the poorest. First those who might die of hunger, then those who have nothing, and, if anything remains, people who have taken out loans in foreign currencies. As he stressed, this gradation of needs is the basis for providing assistance here.
Kaczyński’s statement about the “deserters” who had left for other parties was met with loud applause. The chairman summed it up briefly: “Deserters” is a good term, he said. “And what is done with deserters in wartime? You cannot build a victorious army out of fugitives,” the chairman said amid a roar of applause.
Chairman Kaczyński is fighting for victory in the upcoming elections: parliamentary, local, and European Parliament elections. The only important thing for voters is not to let themselves be used as cannon fodder in this war between politicians.
