National Independence Day

Independence is not given to Poles once and for all", said Jozef Pilsudski on November 11, 1918. Unfortunately, the Polish nation did not have to wait long to find out how true those words were. Successive yokes were imposed on Poland by Germans, Russians and finally by Poles controlled by them. The last hundred years have been a constant lack of freedom. That is why we value it so much today and that is why, while paying homage to the "fathers of independence", we must remember those who fought for it during World War II and communism.

On Independence Day, November 11, the Speaker of the 8th Sejm Marek Kuchciński together with the deputy marshal Ryszard Terlecki and Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski laid flowers at the monument to Joseph Piłsudski, Roman Dmowski, Ignacy Paderewski, Ignacy Daszyński, Wincenty Witos, Wojciech Korfanty, Stefan Rowecki "Grot", Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski, Lech Kaczynski and Ronald Reagan.

There is no just Europe without an independent Poland on its map. Poland is constantly accused in other countries. In this there is a clear and unambiguous desire to have a state in the middle of Europe, at whose expense all European scores could be settled. It is an admirable phenomenon that these international projects find such an eager ear, and languages, not elsewhere than in Poland.
