Kaczyński’s wild claim: Polish government plans to 'practically liquidate’ the nation
Poland’s new government plans to dismantle the Polish state and reduce it to merely „a territory of Poles,” while, together with the EU, enacting a „great robbery of Poles,” Polish conservative leader Jarosław Kaczyński has claimed.

Speaking at the Free Poles Protest in Warsaw on Thursday, Kaczyński, who is the chairman of country’s former ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, claimed that the current authorities, led by Donald Tusk, are not genuinely Polish and accused them of executing a grand scheme to rob the country.
In his address, Kaczyński expressed concerns about the perceived erosion of national sovereignty under the European Union’s influence, suggesting that the EU’s plans are aimed at diminishing the power of member states like Poland in key social and political areas.
„This is really a horror, we are to lose all powers in the right important areas of social life, political life, defense of borders. Will it be a state? This will be the area of residence of Poles,” Kaczyński stated.
He went on to denounce the government’s economic and energy policies, asserting that the introduction of the euro and other economic measures amounted to a „great robbery of Poland and Poles.”
Kaczyński’s rhetoric painted a picture of a nation on the brink of losing its identity and autonomy: „The idea is to take this away from us, because if we don’t have our energy, clean energy, we won’t be attractive. This is the German plan, partly also the French plan.”
Despite the Supreme Court’s recent ruling confirming the validity of the last parliamentary elections, Kaczyński cast doubt on the election results. He called for continued vigilance and public mobilization, emphasizing the need for future electoral victories for PiS.
„We must fight this way as well, although the final round must take place at the ballot box, which we should guard very carefully,” he declared. He also highlighted the ideological struggle against what he perceives as the resurgence of German imperialism in Europe.
According to the organizers, the protest drew as many as 300,000 attendees, while the capital’s City Hall, based on city monitoring, estimated around 35,000 people in front of the Sejm. Onet reported that the peak attendance was between 90,000 and 120,000 people.
