We believe that Latin culture, rooted in Judeo-Christian traditions, brings essential values to the world that are necessary for its development.
These foundations—Greek philosophy, Roman law, and the concept of individual freedom in Christianity—serve as an inspiration for the continued development of societies around the world.
We believe that every human life is invaluable and that all individuals should be free and equal before the law. Freedom is not only the absence of restrictions but also a responsibility for the community to which we belong. We are convinced that the world improves through initiatives undertaken by people.
We recognize the existence of natural law—universal moral principles that are universally respected, regardless of religion or political system. For statutory law to be effective and just, it should align with natural law.
Our tradition emphasizes the importance of the common good and the idea of “res publica”—a common thing. We believe that every community has values and goals that go beyond individual interests, enabling people to live better and improve their surroundings.
We are committed to the classical concept of republicanism, which prioritizes the common good. This includes placing the interests of the community above individual ones and promoting active citizen participation in political life.
Poland, our shared community, is a place for which we feel a deep sense of responsibility, ensuring its security and development. Anyone who identifies with the values and principles in force in Poland can feel like a Pole.
In our country, many cultures have always coexisted. Poland has been and continues to be an open country, which fosters its development, provided there is respect for the foundations of its culture and a contribution to its growth.
We value dialogue—not ideological and contentious, but grounded in logic and openness to diverse perspectives. We do not need to agree on everything, but we can collaborate and seek consensus for the common good and for the people and place we live in.
