11.09.2021
German Chancellor Angela Merkel arrived in Warsaw on September 11 with an official visit. Using this opportunity PM Mateusz Morawiecki gave an interview for a German daily, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Below we present some key points of his message.
"Poland and the European Union must be able to protect their borders. Current events are an attempt to attack these borders, sow confusion and destabilize Poland and the EU."
"I am working closely with the Lithuanian and Latvian governments; we must and want to secure the Union's eastern border even with increased migratory pressure. The situation is all the more tense because the Russian-Belarusian maneuvers "Zapad 2021" have just started on the other side of the border."
"In my opinion, if the EU wants to survive, and if it wants to be strong, it must be a Union of sovereign states, a Europe of Nations, respecting each other's traditions and cultures. But at the same time it should cooperate very closely economically and have a real European army, which would be able to defend Europe from the south, east and north."
