Paul Sit down
This is 1 of the key parliamentary meetings of this term. The parliament bends over the implementation of the Methane Directive, which assumes the closure of almost all coal mines, breaking the social agreement with the mining sector.
Today there is simply a second reading of a government draft law implementing a EU regulation prohibiting the work of mines that emit methane. The point is that almost all coal mines affect methane release. The Eurocrats are threatening us that if we proceed to release methane, we will be punished.
What answer do the Polish authorities have? Shut up!
The election is over, you can close the mines!

The Commission for Energy, Climate and State Acts recommended adopting a scandalous bill without amendments. This means that Polish mines can be closed even before 2035, even though the authoritative social agreement concluded between the government and miners guaranteed their operation in 2049.
The methane regulation introduces strict limits – first 5 tonnes of methane per 1000 tonnes of coal and then 3 tonnes – while now the average emissions in Polish Mining Group mines are 6 tonnes per 1000 tonnes of coal produced. In Poland, the only methane-free area is Lublinskie, where only deposits in Bogdanka are presently being exploited.
What does this mean for average Poles? Electricity will go up again!
The closure of our mines will mean a shortage of energy resources which will now should be imported from abroad. We don't have an alternate to coal for a fewer decades. The atomic power plant, as it was, is not there, and unstable wind farms, even if they work with full power, will not be able to meet the increasing electricity needs. So eventually, we're going to take the costly coal from another parts of the planet and pay more for the electricity.
As you can see, Donald Tusk, after the election, is no longer going to bail, has debts to von der Leyen to pay.
