‘All cameras on the Minister’
There will be no consequences for the Deputy Ministers or the Ministry in terms of the ministerial part, due to the fact that what discredits ministers and what they are from, cannot let any corruption, no political influence and no own benefits. Nothing like this happened – She assessed Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz.
In the "Morning Conversation of the RMF FM", the minister evasively referred to Donald Tusk's words, who stated that he was not convinced by her arguments about the KPO. Referring to the situation prior to the Council of Ministers meeting, erstwhile Tusk said "all the cameras on the Minister", she pointed out that she did not consider this to be mobbing, treating it at a distance and as a joke.
The Minister of Funds besides announced the introduction of short checks before the payment of funds from the KPO to the HoReCA industry, ensuring that they would not hold the transfer of money to honest entrepreneurs. She added that these funds could not be allocated to another purposes.
Is PiS guilty, too?
The Minister pointed out that PiS was besides liable for the industry's support project, which created and modified it, and the current government only tightened the criteria, including raising the required turnover rate.
As she explained, she learned about the first signals of problems in the Polish Agency for Enterprise improvement 2-3 months ago, but did not receive information about irregularities in contracts for the HoReCA industry. She besides added that she treated the public outrage in this case with due consideration.
The Minister explains himself.
A fewer days ago Prime Minister Donald Tusk called on Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz to study urgently to the government on irregularities in spending funds from the KPO. At the press conference, the Minister referred, among others, to the allegations of its "lease".
This program has been tightened, not loosened. We introduced an yearly punishment for the acquisition of fixed goods. Why a year? due to the fact that all the investments in the grant part gotta end in 2026. If the KPO had started earlier, if this program had been implemented earlier, then the withdrawal could have been longer, but our decision was introduced at all, due to the fact that as we found this program, there was no withdrawal at all She explained.
