New Year’s Address of the President of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda
Dear Compatriots, Ladies and Gentlemen!
The year just ending was a year of change in Polish politics. After eight years, our country’s parliamentary majority has changed, the prime minister has changed, the government has changed.
But the most important task facing those in power has not changed. It is the need to take care of the security of our Homeland. For the safety of Polish women and men. This was the case in 2023 and it will be exactly the same in the year 2024, which is just beginning!
The serious external threats to our homeland have not gone anywhere. There is still a full–scale war going on beyond our eastern border. That is why we must constantly strengthen and modernise the Polish army. Strengthen alliances. There can be no turning back from this policy. Poland’s security has no price! And for me it is and will be the most important Polish matter! As the Commander–in–Chief of the Armed Forces, I am always ready to co–operate with the government on issues concerning the strengthening of our security.
