Prime Minister: Poland is doomed to greatness
Donald Tusk argued that “Poland is destined for greatness“. He explained what he meant: “I'm not talking about a huge territory, I'm not talking about some stupid expansion ambitions. I am talking about greatness in the essence of what we are and who we can be in the future. In today's conditions, this greatness means authentic economic sovereignty, independence wherever possible.
In his speech at EFNI, the Prime Minister also mentioned re-Polonization. “If we can, we must find a Polish company where we spend billions of taxpayers' zlotys. Whether it's wind farms, whether it's a nuclear power plant, whether it's railway tracks, new roads, it doesn't matter, but wherever you can find a Polish company, we must enable Poles and Polish companies to obtain equal conditions, because they often operated in conditions that doomed them to failure,” commented Donald Tusk.

He added that the European economy also requires re-Europeanization. He emphasized that “it's not about locking ourselves in our national, Polish, Slavic trap. (…) Otherwise, we will lose the race against the brutal forces that are around us and which have no scruples“.
The Prime Minister also said that Poland is quickly catching up with more economically developed countries. In this context, he mentioned Great Britain and Japan. “We are the twentieth economy in the world, the stock market capitalization has exceeded our expectations and dreams, we have a symbolic trillion in our account for the first time in history” – he enumerated.
