As we look around as we look around the United States, we often think it has a better country ever been led by was people, probably not so we have look around the world and we tried from time to time to bring leaders from other country who actually care about their people. That is when we went to Hungary to talk to Viktor Orban. We spoke to him and he mentioned other countries in Central Europe that have defended their populations against international interference. One of the countries he mentioned was Poland in Budapest. I have run into a number of Americans who have come here because they want to be around people who agreed with them agreed with you. Do you see Budapest as kind of capital of this kind of thinking, the capital of that kind of thinking or one of the capitals they are also very competitive and producing greatness ideas and organizing the kind of
communities of conservative and christian Democrats. Andrzej Duda is the president of the Olympic. Mr President, thank you for joining s. We know youre, watching this happening in the United States and youre watching this massive flow of migrants. It will total over a million this year, something similar happened to Europe in twenty fifteen de you pressured Poland, other nations to accept, and Poland fought back, tell us what you did that the answer is simple. We did not agree in twenty fifteen through the so called quota system. It means that every single country would have to accept a given number of migrants. We give a clear answer to that. Whoever wants to come to political, whoever is looking for help assistance, especially refugees, looking for shelter, because they are threatened by workups persecuted in their own countries. If they want to come
to Poland, we want them to stay in Poland, live in Poland tickets, but to accept such a person and help them. We do not agree to relocate Poland people by force. We do not agree to keep these people in prisons, but if these people did not want to stay in Poland, they would want to leave. We are not going to make anybodys day. We are not going to keep anybody against point Vax, the american President, Joe Biden before he became president described Poland as unfree authoritarian place. How have your dealings with the Biden Administration been since he has become president cap? You just said it would be a very forgettable thing. Theres, a lot of lies about Poland. Some representatives are saying about. The current polands government is totally untrue. The best proof of that is one of the facts that the incumbent government has won the election. They won the tempting back in two thousand, and nineteen progress at the people are happy with their government right now. They think disc government cares for their interest.
This is why they were reelected and some are furious. They are not able to win elections and they lost twice in a row. They also lost the presidential election. Let me reiterate: it is the people who choose. Let me ask you about polands family policy, so Poland from the outside appears to have decided to help encourage polish couples to have children. Please tell us what you are doing and what you have done. It tre the constitution says that marriage is that unit of a man and a woman and a family. The first time since one thousand nine hundred and eighty meant that we have embarked upon a great, resolute and fast Profamily action when I was running for president in two thousand and fifteen, I also made a pledge- and I said that we would start a profamily policy we offered. We actually announced myself during the campaign and later I was joined by my colleagues who were also abutting, the effect the election to be pledging that we would
introduce the program by the name of five hundred prize. We were testing. Actually we decided it started from the second child and family. The prince of every child would receive five hundred pop art, some of one hundred and thirty dollars the kind of work for the front, many from the state in raising children. This was revolutionized and Poland. I think nobody can imagine that to not to have to five hundred plus program in political. It is the best social program we have been able to introduce, but a politician speaking openly, I consider my self to be rather conservative and actually actually was always frank about my views. Im, a Christian im, a practicing Christian. I pray im not assumed that whatsoever. To me, thats value of the family is priceless. Im pro life, I defend life. I believe that life is sacred. I believe it should be guarded and family to does have to be supported as strong as they can, because family is the foundation of every nation. The support with which we
offered families with eight political perspective is key importance. We also have used other programs supporting families was a part parents with the book child starting school with programs. So we take three hundred to the parent of every child going to school to buy a set of books, pencils stationery whatever the child needs opera. That is a very difficult moment. When the school year begins, families have to spend more money turns out. Three hundred is important. It also contributes quite big support on top of the five hundred plus, which every family gets per child inspiring to him. At that. Thank you for sitting down and talking to us. We appreciate it.
