Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki very much values patriotism, saying that it helps his nation “build our modern identity”.
Reminding the people of Poland, and the world, of the importance of patriotism, Morawiecki said, “Thank you to all who water this tree, care for it, because only on this foundation, we can build – or rebuild – the memory of our great history and build our modern identity.”
This comes at a out of remembrance for Polish history with the anniversary of the end of World War One coming up.
Polish President Andrzej Duda thanked those who fought for Polish independence, “We owe them gratitude for the fact that we can live in a free Poland, but in their persons we also find motivation and role models.” President Duda added that Poles are “united by the same goal” and “united by our country.”
Poland is one of the last countries in Europe to keep its sovereignty from the European Union and have fought against their international courts, migrant and refugee quotas.
Poland has been coming under evermore pressure from the EU bureaucracy to give in to its demands and relinquish some of its sovereignty. The latest threat comes from President of the European Council Donald Tusk saying this week that the country could find itself being pushed out of the bloc.
In December of last year the EU triggered Article 7 proceeding over the Polish governments refusal to accept forced migrant redistribution quotas. Time will tell if Poland can fend off the attacks on its sovereignty and remain a patriotic and free country inside of the European Union.
