The ruling party Law and Justice (PiS) will implement the copyright directive in such a way that freedom will be preserved, PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński said on Saturday at his party's regional convention in Gdańsk, northern Poland.

According to Kaczyński, the decision made in the European Parliament concerning copyright censorship plans, dubbed ACTA2 and rejected by Poland, "harms, or at least may harm freedom (...), the freedom so much appreciated by all generations today, particularly by the younger generation - freedom on the internet."

The Law and Justice party leader stressed that PiS is "a party of freedom." 

"Good law, equality under the law, plus justice equals freedom," he said, adding that PiS will broaden its new "PiS Five" social reform package to add freedom to it. 

"From today on, we will not be talking about the 'PiS Five', but about about the 'Five Plus', Kaczynski emphasised.

In his opinion, thanks to his party, Poland will remain "an island of freedom in Europe." (PAP)
