— Let him submit his designs, he yet has the right to do so. But don't let the president think he'll have it easy. If he does not want to cooperate with us, he will enter the warpath, we will accept the challenge,” says 1 of the crucial coalition politicians on October 15, erstwhile we ask about the announcement of Karol Nawrocki about his draft laws.
Karol Nawrocki's offensive
On Thursday the president-elect appeared in the Sejm to meet with the talker of the Sejm Simon Holovnia. After almost an hr of conversation, Karol Nawrocki went out to journalists and announced that the conversation afraid his swearing-in and draft laws he would submit in August this year.
Karol Nawrocki announcedthat it will rapidly submit a bill on the Central Communication Port and agricultural issues. His interest is in the media bill, which is intended to heal public media. He besides talked about taxation solutions, which include raising the amount of taxation free to PLN 140 thousand.
— I believe that we will besides be able to prepare taxation solutions in a concrete way, so I will start implementing the taxation contract. With full consequence, I will implement Programme 21, which received the support of 10.5 million voters," announced the president-elect.
His intentions were confirmed by the talker of the Sejm Simon Holovnia: “These initiatives will be subject to a public consultation mechanism. It will be a practice for all presidential project,” declares Poland's leader 2050.
Under the “tax contract”, Karol Nawrocki promised Among another things: a simplification of VAT to 22 percent, a package of "lower and pro-family taxes" – among them, PIT 0 percent for families with 2 or more children, an increase in the second taxation threshold, the elimination of the Belka tax, a "there" before taxation increases and a constitutional inheritance warrant without tax.
Power camp announces a “hard reaction”
Mr KO Mariusz Witczak recalls that, in accordance with the Polish Constitution, the parliamentary-office strategy is in force in Poland. It is the majority of Parliament that carries out the tasks of the state, and the President, having a legislative initiative, can only partially support or complement the government's actions.
— We will implement our programme, and president Karol Nawrocki should concentrate on the tasks strictly attributed to the President. Wherever he tries to do his job, the government will meet with a tough reaction from our side, says Mariusz Witczak, MP of KO.
On the another hand, Patryk Jaskulski of KO declares that they will bend over any proposal, but in his opinion the president does not gotta deal with just raising the tax-free amount.
“I am working together with Minister Domanski to introduce a tax-free amount of up to PLN 60 000. I know that for a long time it has been on the head of how to find funds in the state's budget,” emphasises the ruling coalition MP.
A large relief is simply a large deficit.
A small more skeptical of this promise is Poland 2050. The KO coalition recalls that the introduction of this thought will be very burdensome for the state budget, and now another areas are far more important.
— I remember that the budget for 2025 has a deficit of 290 billion. It's a immense amount, and I had quite a few problem voting for that budget. I would not like any more to have specified deficits and a balanced budget should be sought. First of all, we request to remember about spending on the army and the protection of borders and improving the wellness situation,” says Onet Sławomir Ćwik from Poland 2050.
However, the President's initiative alone clearly states: “The president of the elect is committed to building his popularity and possibly hitting the government. Unfortunately, this will show that the president does not want to be the president of all Poles, but is connected with 1 political option – says Ćwik.
Minister Tones Moods
On Thursday, Minister of Finance and Economy Andrzej Domanski assured in TVP Info that all electoral announcements, including the increase of the tax-free amount, would be implemented. "This commitment will be fulfilled by the end of the word of office. I think that in the budget for 2026 the free amount of PLN 60 1000 will not fit – he pointed out.
The minister was asked whether the implementation of this promise could happen in 2027. “We will work on this,” answered Andrzej Domanski.
The Minister besides criticised president Elect's initiatives, suggesting that they were populist and could jeopardise the sustainability of public finances. “I think that he does not care about these proposals being implemented seriously, but to torpedo the work of the government,” he clearly said Domanski.
