Summing up the last year, the Speaker of the Sejm emphasized that the good change that is taking place in Podkarpacie is possible thanks to the involvement of local structures.

He stressed that the course of the good change is still the same as in the previous two years - the good of the Republic of Poland, the community based on Christian values or the improvement of life.

The Speaker said that 2017 was full of successes in many fields - from sports to the economy. And the measure of positivity is the highest level of optimism among Poles since 2007, in public, social, family life.

This means that PiS has full responsibility - he said. He pointed out that Law and Justice party managed to break with the tradition of forgetting about Podkarpacie. An example of this is the construction of Via Carpathia, a key investment not only for Eastern Poland, but also for the whole of Central Europe, from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, the 590 Congress - an event that brings important investments, and the Europe of the Carpathians, involving political cooperation and development of the region.
