Confederation's press conference on the latest draft budget.
Michał Wawerthe Confederate Treasurer:
– Reading the draft budget presented by the Prime Minister, 1 may have doubts as to whether we are inactive moving among authoritative papers or whether we have reached a fantasy shelf in a bookstore.
What do we find in this draft budget? We have an estimation that there will be 6.6% inflation in 2024. Which is simply a forecast sucked completely off the finger. Even the government Polish economical Institute foresees 8%. And the analysts who are independent of the government indicate the probability of inflation being even higher.
We do. 64 billiony from the National Reconstruction Plan, which The government has planned to release Next year. It is not entirely known on what basis, due to the fact that there are no known public indications that this money will actually flow. ...
- We do. Economic growth has increased. The draft budget expects GDP to grow by 3% next year, which is not confirmed by any indicators, in no forecasts. The Polish economical Institute, a government institution, foresees no more than 2.2%. This is only a fewer weeks ago, so we don't know where the government gets another data from. ...
– This task is simply a surrender, it's a hand spread. This is simply a paper stating the government's helplessness in managing public finances. here we have a manifesto that shows that there is no money, there will be no money, the government has no thought where to get it, the government does not plan any savings, and nevertheless Prime Minister Morawiecki intends to spend more and more money. ...
Roman Lazarus, the financial typical of the Confederate Election Committee:
We're dealing with another sloppy record. Not long ago we learned that the Government of Law and Justice, for the first time in the past of the 3rd Republic, introduced our economy to negative economical growth. Thus, he said goodbye to the position of the tiger of Central and east Europe, which is very sad.
Now we have another evidence – rthe external budget deficit. So the overexpenditure of state spending over its income, the amount PLN 160 billion. This is the highest deficit in the III Republic and represents, compared to the erstwhile year almost twice increase.
– This budget deficit means that it is money that will request to be found somewhere and it is money that will be drawn from you. But it's not over.
This information, on the planned budget deficit, is given to us in the information package, any of which are expected to be positive. 1 specified information is that the gross to our budget has increased by 80 billion, which is expected to be positive. It's worth realizing what we're talking about here. Budgetary receipts, Polish budget is nothing but your spending. This is the sum of your expenses, the money you gotta spend on this government so that he can spend on it. So the amount that the government will be collecting from you next year is 160 billion budget deficit plus 80 billion PLN increased budget expenditure. So 240 billion will be drawn from your pocket next year. But it's not over yet.
– As we learn from the words of the president of the ultimate Chamber of Control, Poland's out-of-budget debt amounts to PLN 200 billionOh, my God! And it's most likely debt. financed in full from an overprintOh, my God!
That means that this amount, well over 200 billion, should be added to 240 billion. Which together gives nearly half a trillion zlotys.
Half a trillion zlotys will be drawn from your pocket next year. Calculation nand 1 citizen is the sum of over PLN 13 thousand. all citizen surviving in Poland. ...
