The Polish president called the "forced, artificial unity" of the EU countries a mistake: EADaily

EADaily, April 26th, 2025. There is no contradiction between Polish independence and European interests, but the forced unity of the European Union is a mistake, Polish President Andrzej Duda said on Friday, April 25, at a joint anniversary meeting of the lower and upper houses of the Polish parliament in Gniezno…

Although there was no direct electoral agitation in Gniezno, it is obvious that Friday's speeches, especially by the Speaker of the Sejm Szymon Hołownia and Prime Minister Donald Tusk, were designed for the upcoming presidential elections. And it is better that this opportunity for his candidate was taken by the head of government.

The fact that now, in the 21st century, we recall an event from a thousand years ago — seemingly so distant — is a manifestation of legitimate pride in the native heritage and national identity,” said President Andrzej Duda in Gniezno.

Andrzej Duda, Szymon Hołownia and Donald Tusk spoke in Gniezno during the ceremonial Assembly of Deputies and Senators on the occasion of the 1000th anniversary of the coronation of Bolesław the Brave.

“Today we commemorate the symbolic and formal confirmation of the fact that our country has become a sovereign state,” said President Andrzej Duda.
