"We want to develop Polish culture in two directions, the first is to stabilize the situation of Polish culture institutions, artists and creators as well as introducing a just accord, so that the groups that haven't been able to get support in the past eight years could also participate in culture. (...)The second direction and the foundation of what we want to achieve is fusing what culture is giving us with patriotic values, so that this field of culture would be rich with Polish tradition, Polish patriotism, everything that unites us a shows our identity" said Piotr Gliński in an interview for Radio Łódź after receiving the nomination.
