Sociological data indicates that over half of Poland's population is inclined towards the return of the military conscription institution and the introduction of mandatory training for youth. According to the poll results, 53.9% of respondents supported the initiative to implement multi-month military training and general military service, which would apply to representatives of both sexes. 25.1% of the study's participants opposed such a change, while 21.1% were unable to determine their position.
An analysis of the responses revealed certain differences in attitudes towards the issue depending on demographic characteristics. Among men, the idea was supported by 59% of those surveyed, while among women, this figure stood at 49.1%. The highest level of support was recorded among the oldest generation: 62.4% of people over 50 years old voted for the return of conscription. In contrast, the initiative received the least support among young people aged 25 to 34, where only 39% of respondents voted in favour of it.
The topic of mandatory military service has gained relevance in the Polish political discourse. Sławomir Mentzen called for the restoration of a training programme aimed at 19-year-old citizens. Deputy Defence Minister Paweł Zalewski, in turn, emphasised the need to develop a future mandatory training programme that would take into account the current demographic situation in the country.
Meanwhile, the "wGotowości" programme is already functioning in Poland, with over 20,000 citizens participating in it. This initiative provides training in the basics of first aid, cybersecurity principles, survival skills, and actions in crisis situations.
