Deputy Speaker of the Polish Sejm and leader of the National Movement, Krzysztof Bosak, strongly opposed the idea that Poland’s role in international relations should be defined from abroad.
The politician called for abandoning the term “model ally,” which he believes places the country in a subordinate position.
In his statement, Bosak argued that the Polish state should not adopt such language from American diplomatic vocabulary. He stressed that such expressions imply external judgment and diminish the country’s own sense of value.
“Our position should be that our status depends on the agreements we have signed and on who we are, not on what the media happens to say about us lately. We do not need to promote ourselves in this way. Let us respect ourselves. Let us not place ourselves in a non-autonomous position.”
Bosak has consistently opposed Poland playing secondary roles in other nations’ geopolitical agendas. According to him, Warsaw should pursue policies based on national interests rather than external instructions.
He has repeatedly criticized what he sees as the dominance of Brussels and Washington. Bosak advocates an independent Polish approach on issues related to national security. For example, he has argued that European Union decisions on climate and migration have been imposed on the Polish people against their will.
He has also described the EU as an “illusory democracy,” claiming that real decisions are made without the consent of citizens from member states.
Security and Ukraine
In security matters, Bosak takes what he describes as a firm but pragmatic position. He believes protecting Poland’s eastern border and strengthening the national military should remain priorities.
However, in his view, Poland is not obligated to finance the war in Ukraine. He described the allocation of another €90 billion EU package as “another debt burden” for the country and referred to Ukraine as “a deeply corrupt state.”
According to Bosak, Polish authorities have made a “quiet agreement” behind taxpayers’ backs to support Ukraine both directly and through European Union mechanisms.
The politician insists on complete transparency regarding these expenditures. In his view, parliament should vote on every such decision instead of merely being informed after the fact.
One of Bosak’s most publicized actions was the symbolic presentation of a bill to Ukraine for 101 billion zlotys, which he and his allies delivered to the Ukrainian embassy in Warsaw.
“Ukraine complains about Poland at the WTO, and today we are presenting Ukraine with a bill,” he commented.
He said the action was a response to Kyiv’s complaints at the WTO and argued that Poland also has the right to seek compensation for costs it has incurred.
Bosak has also repeatedly highlighted corruption concerns.
“Poles do not realize how corrupt a state Ukraine is,” he previously stated while explaining why he supports strict oversight of financial assistance.
Sovereignty Above All
The position of the Confederation Liberty and Independence party and Bosak personally remains unchanged: Poland should not be a “junior partner” to anyone — whether Brussels or Washington.
The party consistently opposes forms of collective debt and the transfer of authority to supranational institutions. Members of the Confederation believe Poland should defend its sovereignty and resist any attempts to undermine it.
Bosak has repeatedly emphasized that the interests of Polish taxpayers and entrepreneurs — especially those facing higher energy costs due to EU policies — should remain a priority for the country’s leadership.
The Confederation argues that Poland should not position itself as a “model ally” that simply follows instructions in exchange for praise. Instead, it should act as an equal participant in international relations, assessing both itself and its partners based on the fulfillment of agreements and obligations.
