Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki participated in XVII Yalta European Strategy Conference “Ukraine: defending all our freedom”. President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky and President of Latvia, Egils Levits also participated in the discussion. The Conference was focused on Ukrainian defence of freedom. Our eastern neighbour continuously fights for its sovereignty.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has appointed Stanislaw Żaryn as Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister. At the same time, he appointed him Plenipotentiary of the Government for the Security of Information Space of the Republic of Poland, as stipulated in the Regulation of the Council of Ministers dated 11 August 2022.

The Prime Minister of Poland - Mateusz Morawiecki, Estonia - Kaja Kallas, Lithuania - Ingrida Simonyte and Latvia - Arturs Krišjānis Kariņš have agreed on a joint regional approach regarding travel opportunities for Russian citizens. In this statement, they express their political will and firm intention to introduce temporary national measures against Russian citizens who hold EU visas. This is to counteract direct threats to public order and security. At the same time, these countries will limit the possibility of entry of Russian citizens for tourism, cultural, sports and business purposes into the Schengen zone.

In the light of Russian aggression on Ukraine, development and modernization of Polish army is one of crucial tasks of the government. That is why we significantly accelerated the increase in military expenditure – it will be 3% of the GDP next year. It means over PLN 97 billion designated on the development of Polish army. We will also allocate PLN 30-40 billion to arms procurement. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki visited 30th International Defence Industry Exhibition MSPO in Kielce, that currently are the capitol of European defence industry.

The cooperation of the government with local governments is particularly important. It allows the investments close to the citizens to be placed throughout the country. The Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki participated in the official opening of the Lower Silesian Sports Centre on Polana Jakuszycka. This facility will be the hallmark of Lower Silesian sport and one of the most important facilities in the country to be used by athletes, but also citizens and tourists. Investment was implemented with co-financing from the state budget in the amount of PLN 35 million.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki participated in the opening of the second day of Economic Forum in Karpacz. This year’s Forum focuses mainly on the subjects connected with energy crisis, high inflation caused by Russia’s aggression on Ukraine and security in the broad sense. In this difficult period, the government supports the Polish citizens, among others, by reducing taxes or the implementation of the Government Anti-Inflation Shield. It is possible, among others, due to the effective sealing of the taxation system.

Polish companies export agricultural goods, including dairy products, to many countries in the world. This is due to the very high quality of the products, but also thanks to the relief measures that the government is introducing. At the same time, during the crisis caused by Russia's attack on Ukraine, we are supporting citizens by cutting taxes or implementing the Government's Anti-Inflation Shield. This has been made possible by taking many steps, including sealing the tax system effectively.

We are supporting the Polish countryside and Polish farmers. We are introducing many beneficial solutions, such as fertiliser subsidies, a higher refund of excise duty on agricultural fuel or free spaces for direct sale throughout the country. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has visited the village of Dąbrowa Moczydły in the Podlaskie Voivodeship, where he met with local farmers. The Head of the Government stressed that, in these difficult times, the Government would help the Polish countryside.

The government's goal is to ensure the safety of Poland and the Polish people. On the Polish-Belarusian border, which is also the eastern border of the European Union, a physical barrier has been created. It was the actions of the Belarusian regime that caused the construction of the wall. Alexander Lukashenko, wanted to destabilize the situation in our region with illegal migration. The 186 km barrier makes it difficult to cross the border illegally and provides time for the Border Guard to react.

The Government is allocating funds to local investments important for residents. Support for the municipalities and towns that were forgotten and marginalised a dozen or so years ago is bringing tangible effects today. Poland is coming closer to its citizens in every way. This can be seen in the availability of uniformed services in less populated areas of the country, for example. We put the safety of the Polish people in the first place. That is why we have built or rebuilt 154 police stations. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has visited the municipality of Nurzec-Stacja, where he met with residents and the local police in front of the new police station. The Government is consistently investing in local uniformed services by rebuilding police stations, investing in Volunteer Fire Brigades and subsidising the State Fire Service.
