– The large rise was this year – says representatives of the government, indicating that we have a time to tighten the belt, although looking at the full budget expenditures, reaching the evidence of PLN 921 billion, 1 can get the impression that it is alternatively King Sasa's regulation or the last ball at the "Titanic".
The European Commission announces a collision with the iceberg – it has placed us in the excessive deficit procedure (it is triggered erstwhile in a given EU country the deficit of the public finance sector exceeds 3% of GDP or erstwhile public debt is higher than 60% of GDP) and although in November it gave us the green light on slower financial recovery, it will close only in 2025. Part of the opposition believes that it is aid to the Polish government, which cannot afford to cut expenditure sharply during the election year. – This budget is electoral in the sense that you want to make it to the elections and then save yourself who can. due to the fact that I realize that if, God forbid, a candidate from the environment of the present coalition would win, then, in July, the state will bring a real budget with a real deficit and with cuts in expenses which the Poles have never dreamed of before. said during the parliamentary debate Zbigniew Kuźmiuk from the PiS. However, the fact is that everyone should care about reducing the deficit and debt levels as much as possible, due to the fact that the Greek script always remains on the horizon.
For now, however, the feast continues at its best
The government, which is hostage to its promise that nothing given will be received, thus maintains the 800 plus programme (PLN 62.8 billion), pays the alleged 13th and 14th pensions (PLN 31.5 billion) and adds its own "Active Parent" programme (8.4 billion) and the left-wing widow pension (PLN 3.2 billion). Janusz Cichoń with the PO, which was the rapporteur of the Public Finance Commission, thus justified the adoption of the project: – The increase in expenditure is mainly generated by rigid expenditure, i.e. the expanding real money for transfers to households, which mainly involves the implementation of fresh social programmes while maintaining programmes inherited from erstwhile governments (...) and the expanding costs of handling public debt, record-breaking, by the way, and the request to pay off liabilities incurred by predecessors outside the budget.
