Marek Migalski MEP, a member of the breakaway Poland Comes First (PJN) group, has told Polish Radio that the party’s political programme is to be constructed in consultation with the formation’s sympathisers.

“This is an unprecedented move in Polish politics,” Migalski underlined, as no other political party had ever taken such a move, and that the public would be able to offer their suggestions via the internet.

Meanwhile, PJN member Adam Bielan MEP recently announced via his Twitter micro-blog account that the Chancellery of the Sejm has suggested that the party’s name, which thenews.pl was hitherto translating as “Poland is the Most Important”, should be called “Poland Comes First” in English.

Presentation of party goals

Elzbieta Jakubiak, deputy head of PJN, is set to announce the party’s political foundations at a meeting with the group’s sympathisers in the Silesian city of Katowice today.

“It is a declaration which will state the aims of our [party]. We have very clear views, despite what our opponents have claimed,” Jakubiak told the Rzeczpospolita daily.

The document containing the party’s declaration, and which was obtained by the daily, states that PJN is a conservative grouping based on Christian traditions. It advocates a number of freedoms, including of the economy, press, and faith, yet it also underlines the importance of social solidarity.
