"There are politicians, there are parties who, in the real danger of war, place dynamite under the foundation of this country," said Senator Adam Szejnfeld, in the program "Gozdyra's Debate", erstwhile asked about the reluctance of the right to accept SAFE for Poland. Another conviction was among others the Confederate politician, who referred to these words as "demagogia". After this speech, a heated discussion began in the studio.
President of the Wednesday edition "Gozdyra Debates" Grzegorz Kępka asked his guests about SAFE program. The opinions of politicians on the EU arms debt task were split.

- I'm sorry. There are politicians, there are parties who, in this time of war, plant dynamite under the foundations of this country and set fire to the fuse, waiting for it to go out, or lead to the explosion," said Adam Szejnfeld of KO. The politician thus referred to the announcements of politicians of the right-wing opposition who wanted to block Poland's acceptance of EU loans.
"Disgusting demagoguery". The political tension over the SAFE programme
The Confederate typical present in Polsat News studio powerfully disagreed with his thesis.
- I'm sorry. We could have seen the show. disgusting demagoguery (...). Senator, there is no policy at this point that would think that at this point the Polish army should not be strengthened. We all see the dangers we face... We're talking about a origin of that money. We do not like that this is simply a debt in euro, due to the fact that we believe it is simply a currency risk. In time we are not assessing how much this debt will cost us - argued Sebastian Łukaszewicz.
Deputy Minister of National Education Paulina Piechna-Wyżekiewicz, on the another hand, noted that the SAFE programme is simply a good chance to strengthen European, including Polish, defence. She stated that the European Union should be "one of the pillars" on which Poland should build its security.
- I'm sorry. The American side, or 1 of the pillars of our security, pointed out that The Union must take more action to spend on defence. The large beneficiary of specified action is our country - said the policy of the Left.
The PiS typical argued that the manufacture of EU countries is presently incapable to supply Poland with adequate to defend the full community.

- I'm sorry. We cannot say that European countries will be able to deliver equipment to EU countries, that is unrealistic. Today the largest companies are in the states, in Korea (South - ed.) and there you should look for support. We are in favour of SAFE, provided there is no credibility, we are in favour of arming the Polish army," said Krzysztof Szymanski.
SAFE program for Poland. large money on the table
Under the EU programme, the Polish government will be able to benefit from around EUR 43.7 billion in the form of interest-bearing loans, and spend them on defence investments. According to the government's declaration, over 80% of the money is to be spent in the Polish arms industry.
On Friday, the Sejm passed a bill implementing the programme, establishing it on Polish legal grounds. It will let the establishment of a peculiar fund managed by BGK through which money from the programme can be spent.
The aim of SAFE is to strengthen the defence of EU countries more quickly, by purchasing equipment primarily in European industry. The instrument is designed to finance comparatively short-term projects up to 2030.
