In his New Year’s address, Donald Tusk reflected on a transformative 2025 for Poland amidst global challenges. He described the year as both a challenge and an opportunity for growth. Tusk stated, “Although the world around us is shaking, Poland is spreading its wings.” He emphasized that the nation experienced significant economic improvement and development.
Poland’s Economic Growth in 2025
Tusk highlighted strong economic growth, marking an end to rising costs. He noted the commencement of major investments while clearing away the absurdities of previous years. “We have tightened our borders and repaired strained relations with Europe, reclaiming our Polish billions,” he affirmed.
- Poland’s economy is now referred to as a “golden-haired” model.
- Warsaw has been recognized as the most promising city on the continent.
- Polish citizens are returning from emigration, drawn back by these developments.
Historical Reflection
The year 2025 also marked the millennial anniversary of Bolesław Chrobry’s coronation, Poland’s first king. Tusk reflected on this milestone, reminding the nation of its enduring strength. “A thousand years of our history compels us to navigate difficult times,” he stated.
Poland’s Future: 2026 and Beyond
Looking ahead, Tusk declared 2026 as a year of acceleration for Poland. He outlined plans for the nation to build the strongest army in Europe and advance major infrastructure projects. “We will refocus on local content, making ‘Polish first’ a principle in public procurement,” he noted.
Enhancing Security and Combating Crime
Tusk also promised a crackdown on criminal activities in the coming year. “We will tighten the screws on criminals of all sorts,” he warned, indicating that no one, including corrupt officials and violent actors, will be spared in the pursuit of safety. “Poland will be, and will remain, a sanctuary of security,” he assured.
Conclusion
As Tusk concluded his address, he underscored that while global uncertainties persist, Poland is poised for a promising 2026. “This will be our 1,001st year as a state, and I wish the best for us all,” he stated, reaffirming his commitment to a secure and prosperous future for Poland.
