Poland plans stronger army, infrastructure push in 2026
In his New Year’s address, Tusk outlined his government’s intention to rapidly accelerate military expansion, undertake major infrastructure initiatives, and continue the "repolonization" and reconstruction of key industries, including defense. “We will accelerate construction of the strongest army in Europe. We will accelerate major infrastructure investments. This will be a year of rapid conquest of the Baltic Sea,” he said.
The prime minister also announced a new “Polish first” approach in public procurement and promised stricter measures against criminal activity. Authorities will target “all kinds” of offenders, including drug traffickers, corrupt officials, and what Tusk described as pro-Russian militants.
“Anyone, without exception, who breaks the law will bitterly regret it in the coming year,” he warned, adding that Poland aims to become “an oasis of security.”
Reflecting on 2025, Tusk characterized the past year as a pivotal moment for Poland, despite ongoing global instability.
