Confederate press conference with Members Witold Tumanowicz and Roman Fritz on the state budget, 21 December 2023.
Witold Tumanovich:
– We are here due to the fact that there has just been a debate on the budget. With a budget that increases the budget gap by almost PLN 20 billion! It was expected to be a fresh quality, different governments. “Concrete” Tusk turned out to be truly empty phrases. That's why we have precisely what the PiS was doing. This is simply a copy-paste law and justice policy, state debt, only written by Caps Lock! Everything harder, everything more, everything more forcefully. Taking over war spoils – this is all we see today.
The budget hole, which at this point will full PLN 184 billion! Did anyone think the platform would be better? We don't. We, as a Confederate, have said this from the very beginning that there is no large difference between Platform and PiSem. We said that we were in opposition to Tusk and to Kaczyński, that nothing would change in Polish politics for the better if these 2 politicians did not leave.
We see this tribal war between Tutsi and Hutu! At the same time, we simply see that the Polish citizen is in the foreground here, that these politicians – neither Platform nor PiSu – simply do not care about the destiny of the average citizen.
Polish entrepreneurs, Polish carriers, farmers strike on the border and in fact neither this erstwhile government nor this present 1 is doing anything about it. Take care of the specifics and do not duplicate the mistakes of Law and Justice! This is what Poles anticipate from you.
Roman Fritz:
– Donald Tusk's words, and more broadly the full fresh government, which was referred by the Finance Minister Mr.Domanski, turn out to be empty phrases. Mr Domanski, as an advisor to Donald Tusk a period or 2 months ago criticised the PiS budget adopted in September 2023. The budget, which now the Civic Coalition together with the Left, PSL, the 3rd Road expands even more.
Spending cannot be increased, taxes can be reduced and at the same time the budget will be stable.
To all that was – i.e. to all the social expenses that the Morawiecian government adopted, i.e. 800 plus 13th and 14th pensions etc. – the fresh ruling in Poland added the cost of election promises. So 30% of 35% of teacher increases, 20% of budget increases. The Minister of Finance, Mr Domański, had made it a fewer weeks ago, erstwhile he was not yet a minister, to scold that this would be financed by restoring VAT rates to food. We will now look very closely at what will actually happen.
At the same time, the fresh government coalition introduces additional expenditure, i.e. half a billion per year for in vitro. That amoral process where small people die. In addition to this, these people boast that the alleged telephone of trust for children and young people will be financed. I would advise you to go to the website of this very telephone of trust to see, after virtually 2 or 3 clicks, that it is simply a redirection to sex educators. To companies, Lambda organizations, Ponton. The rainbow is pouring out of the screen.
The depravity of our children, our smallest by budget funding. And of course, what's the remedy for all the crazy spending that our next generations, children and grandchildren will pay for? The remediation is like this, let's get these lunatics out of power.
Only the Confederation is in favour of a balanced budget, for a logical spending of public money.
