Poles must understand history but we must also overcome it if it is obstructing our contemporary goals.

I am glad that Angela Merkel is the German Chancellor, as she tries to combine a sense of responsibility with morality and values. Because this is the essence of Europe.

Poles must understand history but we must also overcome it if it is obstructing our contemporary goals.

Poland is quite a mediocre country in some regards. The only natural resource that we have, and with which we can compete, is freedom.

I will be engaging myself personally, as the head of the Polish government, in the optimization of conditions for the exploration, research, logistics and the business related to the production of shale gas.

We must go beyond being reactive and defensive. As Europeans we must regain our self-confidence and realize our own strengths.

I spent an important part of my life participating in conflicts. But for me, conflict was not the main principle.
