Prime Minister Donald Tusk participated in the Forum for New Ideas in Sopot, and discussed the history of Europe in Europe. This includes climate change, digital transformation, sustainable development and social innovation. According to the head of government, ensuring security and cheap, renewable energy will be key to Poland’s development. This will allow the spirit of Polish entrepreneurship, which has been the engine of economic growth in our country for 35 years, to continue to operate. The paramount role of energy security
Currently, Poland’s voice in the EU on security matters, including energy security, is listened to by European leaders with the utmost attention.
Today, no one questions that Poland’s voice regarding energy sovereignty was the voice of reason and strategic and geopolitical imagination.
– said the Prime Minister to the participants of the European Forum for New Ideas.
Donald Tusk thanked his predecessors, former Prime Ministers: Jerzy Buzek, Jan Krzysztof Bielecki and Waldemar Pawlak, who were present at the conference. Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek played a special role here, as he was the first to promote the idea of an energy union in the EU, or of Europe’s independence from uncertain and politically determined energy supplies.
Entrepreneurial spirit – the engine of the Polish economic miracle
As the Prime Minister pointed out, there would be no economic miracle in our country without the most important engine, which is the spirit of Polish entrepreneurship and the energy of people.
The condition for the transformation phenomenon and the economic miracle that is happening and is happening before the eyes of the world was the regaining of freedom, building a state of law and searching for Poland’s place in the European community.
– noted the head of government.
This independence rebellion and great national solidarity were transformed into modern thinking that took into account values such as democracy, the rule of law, human rights and freedom.
In this context, Donald Tusk mentioned the role of Leszek Balcerowicz, the author of the economic and political reform programme at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s.
It is worth remembering that the creators of Polish independence and economic success were also those who today are paying a high price for it personally – and this is where their greatness lies.
– said the head of government.
A key role in building the foundations of a free Poland was also played by ordinary Polish entrepreneurs. According to the head of government, they are the ones who have the right to feel special satisfaction today, if the world says that Poland is one of the best places to invest.
Renewable energy is a chance for Poland
As the Prime Minister pointed out in Sopot, the development of renewable energy, i.e. modern wind turbines, is an undertaking that may decide on access to cheaper energy. This in turn is a key issue for consumers and entrepreneurs.
The new wind turbines, built at sea, will ultimately generate a potential energy capacity of 18 gigawatts. This is 4 times more power than the planned nuclear power plant in Pomerania.
– emphasized Donald Tusk.
As he explained, Poland also needs the development of modern transmission networks. Hence the government’s decision to invest PLN 70 billion in the sector over the next decade.
Another important issue will be the modernization of the windmills themselves.
There is no need to build too many new windmills on the ground, since replacing the turbine with a modern one will give a 400-500 percent increase in the power of such a windmill
– explained the Prime Minister.
Another key energy investment will be the construction of nuclear power plants in Poland.
The role of social dialogue
The proper development of Poland also requires the existence of true social dialogue.
I really want the dialogue between the executive power and entrepreneurs, managers and organizers of economic life to be real and not fake.
– emphasized the head of government.
He declared that he was open to all proposals. As an example, he pointed to the issue of migration.
How to find the perfect balance between security, regaining control over borders, and a safe labor market
– said the Prime Minister.
As he explained, well-programmed migration, as a safeguard for the labour market in Poland, cannot rely on people who do not have qualifications coming to our country without any controls.
The government will continue to work for Poland
Referring to the anniversary of the October 15 elections, Donald Tusk pointed out that emotions and differences of opinion may always occur in the government, but that this will not prevent the cabinet from functioning efficiently.
I want to say that the October 15 coalition, which thanks to millions of voters today has the honour of working in the government, this coalition – regardless of the circumstances – will implement its programme in solidarity, loyalty and determination.
– assured the Prime Minister.
