“This is a great day for Poland, for the Polish state, for the Polish Army, and for all those who care about the good and prosperity of our homeland. We worked on this program for months. We are talking about 60 billion złoty and contracts signed for Huta Stalowa Wola, other companies of Polish Armaments Group, and hundreds of thousands of subcontractors across the country. 60 billion złoty in one day,” Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said after the agreements for new equipment for the Polish Army were signed.
“In this entire process of building a great team, to which we invited everyone, we went to the Sejm with the bill. We did not have to, but we wanted to invite everyone, because this is a national, patriotic program, not a program of one party. Huta Stalowa Wola is a symbol. The Central Industrial District, Podkarpackie, the new Central Industrial District 2.0. Today, new industrial infrastructure is being created in Podkarpackie. We are building strong and stable employment and regional development. And I want to say very clearly: today, courage matters. The courage to make decisions, sign agreements, and take responsibility. Poland has no time to lose, because the threat is real. That is why there is no reason to wait for profits that did not appear in the national bank. We must use what we negotiated in the European Union. We invited absolutely everyone to this great team,” the head of the Ministry of National Defence emphasized.
“These 60 billion złoty are as much as six countries receive in total in the EU. Together, those countries receive as much from SAFE as we are leaving today in the hands of Stalowa Wola. This is also what effectiveness in domestic policy looks like. Because over the past six months there were many who were firmly keeping their fingers crossed that this project would fail. Mr. President, I spoke with you for many hours about the SAFE mechanism. With your advisers. And what happened? I told the truth. Everything checks out: Polish companies, major agreements, and a major modernization of the Polish Army. Money that stays in Poland. And there will be more, because there will also be agreements with other countries that will spend money in Poland,” Minister Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka emphasized after the agreement was signed.
“The SAFE program is a symbol of independence and production strength. It was written in Poland, not dictated from Brussels. I emphasize that this program was written according to the requirements of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces and the commanders of the Polish Army. They are proud of it and say so openly. Today, May 30, is a historic day, but also a day of reckoning with lies about SAFE,” the head of the Ministry of National Defense said during the conference.
