Partie polityczne w Polsce wobec projektu budowy terminalu regazyfikacyjnego nad Morzem Bałtyckim w latach 2001–2011
Political Parties in Poland Towards Building LNG Terminal on the Baltic Sea from 2001 to 2011

Summary/Abstract: The article grouped political parties into two groups – supporters and opponents of the creation of this type of infrastructure. Supporters of the terminal’s construction (PiS, LPR, PO, Self-Defence) pointed to the need to comprehensively ensure Poland's energy security, including through the construction of an LNG terminal. At the same time, opponents (PSL and SLD) questioned the economic aspect of building the terminal.Polish political parties assessed Poland's dependence on natural gas supplies from the Russian Federation in different ways. Politicians of both right-wing, center, and left-wing parties proposed various solutions aimed at diversifying the sources and directions of natural gas supplies to Poland. Therefore, the aim of the article was to analyze the political thought of Polish political parties in constructing a regasification terminal on the Baltic Sea in the years 2001-2011 (this type of infrastructure was commissioned in 2015). The subject covers political thought, while in the substantive sense, the work concerns the views of representatives of individual political parties on natural gas imports to Poland. In the paper, as the research techniques, the source analysis, content analysis, and comparative analysis methods were used.
