The Polish President, Bronislaw Komorowski, made a speech at the opening of the Sejm on 8th November warning that government inefficiency, national low fertility and the weakening of the European project were the major challenges facing the country. The President pointed to integration with the Euro as a positive target for Poland and ended on a lighter note with hope for community and solidarity among the people of his country.
