"Exactly 4 years ago, in this same place, we met for the PiS program convention, where we presented the programmatic potential of our movement, showcased our innovative program ideas, and our political determination to implement them. We demonstrated then that we are substantive, mature, and fully ready to take responsibility for Poland," said Deputy Prime Minister Piotr Gliński, opening the PiS program convention in Katowice.

"The 2019 program convention's primary goal is to summarize and report on our programmatic commitments. This is an expression of normality and integrity in politics. A politician's fundamental duty is to be with the people," he added.

"Over the course of our three-day deliberations, we will present many ideas and plans. Some of them will likely be tested in debates with experts. We are not afraid of any criticism or open debate. We are not afraid of programmatic challenges," explained Gliński. "I invite you on a three-day journey through a fascinating world of ideas for Poland and for Poles. I invite all Poles on a journey through a world where there is no hate, no informants, no negative emotions, where there is no 'No' Poland. There is only 'Yes' Poland."
