In an interview with 'Rzeczpospolita', Adam Bielan reflects on Poland's current standing in NATO, particularly in light of potential Russian aggression. He questions whether Poland will emerge as a key NATO nation capable of countering threats from Russia over the next year. Bielan argues that instead of relying on potentially burdensome programs like SAFE for military funding, Poland can issue its own bonds to strategically invest in defense and infrastructure according to its national needs.

Bielan expresses concern over the growing negative sentiment among Poles regarding the national debt and the implications of the SAFE program, which he considers a path to significant financial obligations for future generations. He conveys that while ensuring national security is paramount, it should not come at the cost of accumulating unsustainable debt. There exists an intrinsic tension between immediate security needs and long-term fiscal responsibility that Bielan highlights as critical in the current political discourse.

Moreover, Bielan references previous positive outlooks from notable politicians regarding the SAFE program, questioning the wisdom of increasing public debt for the sake of security, which could risk the financial stability of future Polish generations. He emphasizes that Poland has the capacity to independently make defense-related financial decisions that reflect its priorities rather than becoming reliant on external financial assistance that may not be in its best interest.
