Reinstating Military Conscription? Nawrocki Presents His Stance

Tomasz Synowiec

- Regarding military service, today we have voluntary basic service, and as I know from analyses and statistics, we do not have a significant problem with individuals wanting to join the Polish Army at present. There are many willing Polish patriots who want to undertake military training in the format of voluntary basic service. I encourage all Poles to join voluntary basic service. I know there are different models among our neighbors - said Karol Nawrocki at a press conference with the President of Latvia in Riga.

- Of course, we should not exclude, and in this context I read the words of Professor Cenkiewicz, we should not exclude the situation that Professor Cenkiewicz spoke about. Today, as long as there are more volunteers, many willing individuals to participate in training within voluntary basic service, or to serve in the Territorial Defence Force, we are fulfilling our duties as the Polish state. So, I would certainly not exclude it. I don't know what it will look like in the coming years, but today I consider voluntary basic service and the Territorial Defence Force to be sufficient to cover this scope of duties - Karol Nawrocki continued.
