My most ardent desire is that my country will recapture its historic opportunity for a peaceful evolution and that Poland will prove to the world that even the most complex situations can be solved by a dialogue and not by force.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's wonderful that Poland is free again and there's open debate and people can pursue their interests. I'm all for it.
I belong to a nation which over the past centuries has experienced many hardships and reverses. The world reacted with silence or with mere sympathy when Polish frontiers were crossed by invading armies and the sovereign state had to succumb to brutal force.
I've lost Poland. Without Poland, I go down. I've been thrown out; yet I love my country.
My greatest desire is that the hope that has overcome fear in my country will help vanquish it around the world.
So I think that I can say, as the President of Poland, we're proud that I am coming from Poland, which is different and what's more important, much better than before.
Poland should be strong and prosperous and independent and play its proper role as a great nation in the heart of Europe.
I will be engaging myself personally, as the head of the Polish government, in the optimization of conditions for the exploration, research, logistics and the business related to the production of shale gas.
I realize that the strivings of the Polish people gave rise, and still do so, to the feelings of understanding and solidarity all over the world.
We all live in a free Poland, and there would be no free Poland without you, Twenty-five years ago, I did not stand on the same side together with you, but today I have no doubts that it was your vision of Poland which led us in the right direction.
I am happy that Poland is returning to the road of pluralism and democracy.
