500 plus for every child, a reduction in PIT and its abolition for employees under 26, thirteen - 1,100 zlotys for every pensioner, and infrastructure development, including the restoration of liquidated PKS connections - primarily in smaller towns and the countryside - these are the programmatic announcements of Law and Justice made at the Warsaw convention on February 23.

PiS Chairman Jaroslaw Kaczynski played first fiddle at the convention. Among the speakers were also Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Deputy Prime Minister Beata Szydło, Minister of Investment and Development Jerzy Kwieciński and Stalowa Wola Mayor Lucjusz Nadbereżny.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski stressed that PiS is restoring dignity, equality and freedom. -
A man who has empty pockets, an empty wallet, free is not. We, considering the realities, fill those pockets," he said.

The president noted that what is at stake in this campaign is Poland, the future of Poland and Poles - Poland for all or Poland for some; the most important thing is equality (before the law, opportunities) and freedom (of views, speech, conscience, religion); we are walking the road of good change and the road to Europeanism.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki argued that Law and Justice needs to win the EP elections to enter the autumn elections on a strong wave, in order to preserve all that has been achieved so far.

- We have been Europeans for thousands of years - Europeanism and Europe does not mean closing churches, empty streets in villages and towns, working abroad - for us Europeanism means European wages and living comfort - it is a fight for the middle class - we have an excellent representation that will fight for our goals and take care and our interests," the prime minister said. He stressed that the way to Europe is Poland as its beating heart, is real freedom.

The deputy prime minister recalled the government's successes, such as the fact that young people are returning to the country, have jobs, and now won't pay taxes. Farmers no longer have to worry that they won't even get the lowest pension; the 500+ program has become a symbol of our government, and Poland, thanks to it, has become a symbol of wise pro-family policy; the expectations of parents who asked for the extension of the 500+ program will be fulfilled; after 3 years of PiS rule, the minimum wage and salaries have risen, the Family 500 plus program has been implemented, and the number of poverty-stricken children is halved; after 3 years of PiS rule, we have the lowest unemployment in 25 years, the young have jobs, and pension increases have finally started; during 3 years of PiS rule, PiS managed to introduce the Good Start program, Medicines 75 plus, and converted perpetual usufruct into ownership to residential land.

Polish economic growth, as one of the highest in Europe, was praised by Minister Jerzy Kwiecinski (arena Development). - What we are doing, we are doing not only for the economy, but first of all for the people, because the economy is supposed to be for the people," he said. The minister mentioned the Central Transportation Port as the one that is generating interest in Europe and the one that is expected to change the face of our transportation. Kwiecinski stressed that the government has launched the Clean Air Program; it supports entrepreneurs, including through the Constitution for Business;

Lucjusz Nadbereżny said that PiS is the only political formation in Poland that enters into a unique contract with Poles to fulfill election promises; - Our credibility lies in the fact that PiS has not only kept its word, but also rebuilt basic trust in the state; PiS restores faith in the state. We see not only the big things, but also the small things that bother Poles on a daily basis; we have effective representatives who fight for Poland's cause on the international stage; our signpost shows the most important value - the human being," the president said.
