- Rejoice, let us all rejoice, because Independence Day, November 11th, is a day of joy for all Poles. When, nearly a quarter of a century ago, together with the host and hostess and the late Paweł Adamowicz, we decided to organize the first November 11th parade, here in Gdańsk, we didn't think that this joyful way, full of smiles and good feelings, this joyful way of celebrating Independence Day would spread so quickly throughout the country. This is important, because independence is for everyone - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the celebrations on the occasion of the National Independence Day in Gdańsk.

- We are in a state of danger, grave danger, a rejection of democracy and the rule of law, fundamentally. On the one hand, and on the other hand, there is a war, various kinds of plans that today aim to change Europe, to radically alter the state of affairs that arose after 1989 to the benefit of those countries that are superpowers, or that although they are not truly superpowers, consider themselves to be and want to go down that path, towards power, towards domination. This is a great task, first and foremost, to rebuild Polish democracy, which is largely destroyed today, the rule of law, to rebuild the law, because at the moment it is difficult to speak of law at all - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Warsaw.

-This is the task of all patriotic and democratic forces in Poland, and PiS is the strongest group within this great camp. We want this camp to unite, for this camp to move forward at an even pace towards these changes, and today is a good day to talk about it, for Poles to demonstrate their attachment to the homeland, but a homeland that is free, democratic, and lawful, guaranteeing rights to all, regardless of whether they are from the right or the left, concerning political views, and at the same time one that will cope with all sorts of pathologies that have recently grown very strong, which have also completely destroyed the language of politics, good customs, fundamentally everything that constitutes the proper functioning of a democratic system - he continued.

- I repeat - a great task, but we are ready to carry it out - concluded the PiS leader.

- Patriotism is never one Pole against another Pole. Patriotism is always Poles together with Poles. We differ, we argue, diversity is not a bad thing, diversity is and can be a source of our strength in the future. But these differences, these arguments must not give rise to hatred, contempt, violence - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the ceremony commemorating the National Independence Day in Gdańsk.

- From this place, here in Gdańsk, this appeal to reject violence in Polish dialogues, in Polish conversations, in Polish relations, has its special power - he continued.

- No one has the right to tear the white and red symbols away from fellow Poles. Let no one raise their voice against another Pole on this day. No one has a monopoly on patriotism; we are a community - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the celebrations of the National Independence Day in Gdańsk.

- I ask, therefore, looking at over a thousand years of Polish history and the great work of the fathers of Polish independence, where is our being? Where are our Christian values that built the foundations of the Republic of Poland? And why must we witness and repel the pressure of a Christian values prosthesis, which foreign ideologies in Polish schools and the Polish education system represent? - stated President Karol Nawrocki during the Independence Day celebrations.

- This is not ours, not Polish, and the President of the Republic of Poland will never allow us to become the peacocks and parrots of nations again, passively repeating what comes from the West, and I say this as a supporter of Poland in the EU, but speaking primarily – Poland first, Poles first - he continued.

- We see that some Polish politicians are ready to relinquish Polish freedom, independence, and sovereignty piece by piece to foreign institutions, tribunals, and foreign EU agencies. This blood, this sacrifice, this work so that today we do not understand that Poland is free and independent and is no longer a colony - stated President Karol Nawrocki during the Independence Day celebrations.

"We are ready for Poland to also become an energy and gas hub for all of Central and Eastern Europe. Together with our American partners," stated President Karol Nawrocki during the Independence Day celebrations.

- If we continue to devastate public finances and create political farces and theaters, instead of engaging in real work for the Republic of Poland, then perhaps there will be no freedom and sovereignty - stated President Karol Nawrocki during the Independence Day celebrations.

- I want to tell you that even if some celebrities insult the Polish uniform, using words that should not be uttered in public space, especially towards a Polish soldier, and even if the Polish court is unable to react to this in accordance with Poland's national interest, then I, as the President of Poland, on behalf of the nation that is here, is here, want to tell you, that Polish soldiers and officers are sacred, the nation is with you and we thank you for your service - stated President Karol Nawrocki during the Independence Day celebrations.
