This political launch announces a dynamic year of 2025, full of challenges and key decisions for Poles.

Constitutional conflict: The function of the president and the government

During the fresh Cabinet Council, Prime Minister Donald Tusk spared no criticism of president Karol Nawrocki. The Head of Government powerfully recalled that the meetings with the Council of Ministers, although led by the President, are of a nature information only and cannot be considered as a forum to replace government or parliament. Tusk clearly signaled concerns about the possible violation of constitutional powers by the head of state, referring to experiences from the erstwhile presidency.

The Prime Minister stressed the government's readiness to cooperate with the president within the constitutional framework, but stressed that "he will guarantee that the constitutional framework is kept very well". These words give a clear signal of the government's determination to stay autonomous in the decision-making process. For Poles this means that in the coming year we can anticipate further tension on the government-president line, which may affect the velocity and way of implementing key reforms.

Polish economy: evidence growth and fight against inflation

In his speech Prime Minister Tusk presented an optimistic image of the Polish economy, announcing reasons for satisfaction. As he stressed, the efficiency of the government's actions brings tangible results to citizens. Inflation in Poland decreased to 3 percent, which is 1 of the lowest results in Europe and represents a crucial departure from the "Ghost of Pisa", as the Prime Minister said. The government is forecasting a further decline in inflation in 2025, which will translate into real relief for home budgets.

The key accomplishment is besides Europe's highest economical growth at 3.4 percent, compared to 0.4 percent of the growth inherited from the predecessors. Poland besides has 1 of the lowest unemployment rates in the European Union. Tusk assured that despite the decision to radically increase ambitious projects and plans, the government is ensuring that the hazard limit for debt and deficit is not exceeded. Next year, national and interior security, including border protection, will be allocated nearly PLN 200 billion – amount importantly higher than in erstwhile years.

Green energy and windmills: Government will find a way despite veto

One of the points of inflammation in relations with president Nawrocki is the question of the alleged Windmill Act, which was vetoed. Prime Minister Tusk, although not referred to as the ‘fan of windmills’, made it clear that wind energy is the cheapest and fastest origin of electricity to be implemented. In consequence to the presidential veto, the head of the government announced that he had found a way to intensify action in this area.

"I have good news for Poles and Poles and bad news for the President. We will proceed to increase, and this radically, the power from windmills on land," said Tusk. He announced that the government would usage Regulationto accelerate the construction of wind farms, making the presidential veto "little effective". For citizens, this means a position of more unchangeable and possibly lower energy prices, as well as speeding up the energy transformation of Poland in 2025, regardless of political disputes.

Infrastructure investments: CPK and Polish railways of the future

Record infrastructure investments are besides an crucial part of government plans. Next year the improvement of railways and airports will be allocated nearly PLN 100 billion, which is twice as advanced as in the last year of the erstwhile year. Prime Minister Tusk addressed the issue of the Central Communication Port (CPK), pointing to differences in visions.

The Prime Minister's criticism was about a presidential proposal that intended to limit high-speed rail speeds to 250 km/h. The government project, on the another hand, envisages speed 350 km/hwhich would make Polish railways the fastest in Europe. Tusk suggested the existence of “business interests” standing behind lower velocity limits, promising the president “to whisper on his ear” who is curious in limiting Polish ambitions. He besides confirmed that the CPK-related investment had been initiated. For travellers and the economy this means the possible of modern and fast transport infrastructure, which will revolutionize travel around Poland and Europe in the coming years.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk's speech at the Cabinet Council clearly outlined the direction of the government's action for 2025 and revealed the worsening tensions on the government-president line. Despite constitutional disputes and presidential vetoes, the government is determined to implement its key promises: from maintaining economical stableness and combating inflation, to importantly expanding safety spending, to speeding up the green transition and infrastructure expansion. Poles can anticipate these decisions to translate into concrete benefits in their regular lives, although the political debate around these changes will surely be intense.
