On the Local Self-Government Day President Andrzej Duda awarded 37 persons of particular merit for their activity on behalf of the local community. The ceremony was attended by the Speaker of the Sejm Marek Kuchciński.
- You are absolutely - I dare say - proven people who have already given a lot of themselves for the development of their local and regional communities, for the development of the areas which include local government units, in which you serve - and I stress the word: serve - your citizens, your fellow residents, your small homelands of course, but also the Republic of Poland. For they are its absolute and indivisible part. On behalf of the Republic of Poland, I would like to thank you very sincerely for your service so far. And, as I said, I ask for more. Those to whom I said that, who heard it from me, know very well what the point is," said the President.
