We are a nation that has experienced in a unique way totalitarianism from the East and the West.  A nation that has experienced captivity and greatness. We are uniquely positioned to be able to glue the continent together. Not according to contemporary neo-liberal fashions or other general correctness," said the head of government Mateusz Morawiecki. He also added, "I thank the Professor for his friendship directed towards Poland. He recognises our cultural heritage. In his opinion, our history is not a burden. He sees a universal value of Poland in this heritage, a value which we carry with us and which we also want to carry in the future. A value beautifully reflected in solidarity, as a movement and an idea - the Republic of Solidarity.

"Knowledge, which is growing at a dizzying pace, hits cognitive barriers in humans. Even in research teams, this division into fields is becoming more and more fragmented. Today, this knowledge needs people of the renaissance. People who combine its various aspects. Prof. Gunnar Heinsohn, who perfectly combines knowledge from many areas, is such a person. This is very much needed today," stressed Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.

Laureate of this year's 9th edition of the Congress "Poland the Great Project" 

On 19 September, the medal "Courage and Credibility" was awarded to the German writer, sociologist, economist and professor emeritus at the University of Bremen, Gunnar Heinsohn. This year's laureate is the author of numerous publications on topics ranging from economics, demography (including the relationship of demography to security policy and genocide), to chronological theories.
"We can address words of gratitude to the Professor because he describes our reality with sensitivity and affection for the Republic of Poland and the Polish people. I thank the jury for this choice. I consider it to be extremely apt. It is very interesting for a man who understands the borderline of cultures, as he was born in Gdynia. The award goes to a man who understands Poland and has a heart for Poland. Congratulations and sincere thanks," said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
