Raising the retirement age is a good decision
Among other things, the question of retirement age was discussed in the conversation. Kidawa-Błońska was asked how the PO would work – whether the lower retirement age would be maintained if the demographic situation did not improve.
When we look at the pensions of women, who on average have much lower pensions than men, we realize that there may indeed be women who do not want to work, who want to retire earlier. But maybe there are people who want to work, so I think we’ll definitely talk about retirement age
– said the representative of the Civic Platform, adding that it is important that such a decision is individual, that everyone has the right to choose.
When asked whether raising the retirement age should be legally excluded, Kidawa-Błońska said that the PO-PSL’s decision to raise the retirement age was a good one.
We once raised the statutory retirement age. We didn’t give that choice and paid a very high price for it as a formation. I’m sure of it she was good decide because people should work longer. In any case, people want to work longer because they want to live better and realize that the longer they can work, the better their quality of life. But it should be an individual decision to give you the opportunity to work longer
– said the deputy chairman of the Sejm.
Pensions for PO higher than for PiS
Kidawa-Błońska argued that under the rule of PO-PSL “pensions increased by 58 percent”, and under the rule of PiS “even if we add the 13th and 14th pensions, they only increased by 44 percent”. Paying attention to when pensions rose so much, as senior citizens talk about valorization of PLN 2.4, the deputy chairman of the Sejm said it was a time “when there was deflation in Poland”.
Indeed, it was that time when there was no need to increase, but the value of pensions was much higher, even today
said the PO MP.
If we look at the ratio between the old-age pension under PO and the average salary, it was also much higher, 58 percent, now it is 52 percent.
– said the MP, and when asked whether they grew in absolute terms or in real terms, she replied: “Yes, as it is calculated. Amount of pensions.
Amendment of the law on the Supreme Court
Asked about the amendment to the Supreme Court law, the PO MP said that “the opposition will do everything possible to ensure that this law and solution are passed, but let the government give it a chance, which will lead to a agree.” with themselves and prepare a good solution.”
We would very much like the bill to pass the Sejm, we will certainly work on such a bill, we will propose amendments, because we really want the money from KPO to reach Poland
– said Kidawa-Błońska.
When asked if the opposition is blowing up the KPO agreement, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska replied that “the PiS government is blowing up the compromise, these are the agreements in the KPO, which the prime minister has negotiated, he has committed to something. So let the Prime Minister what he has promised to do.”
I look with disgust at what is happening to the government because there is a big stormy debate going on in the government, the ministers disagree with the prime minister, they are questioning his powers,
she added.
The PO MP also stated that Prime Minister Morawiecki is not credible.
I don’t trust the Prime Minister and the government at all. I don’t remember that since they came to power they have honestly told the citizens what is going on, that they are telling the truth. If the Prime Minister says one day that he has achieved a great success, that he negotiated something, and then says that it was not in the negotiations at all, who am I to believe? I do not find credible a prime minister who deviates from the truth every day
– said Kidawa-Błońska, adding that the opposition will work on the document and will do everything possible to accept it and close the case so that funds from the KPO go to Poland.
The opposition helps all the time. There is no situation where the opposition would not help. Only we have a unique government that does not even want to help him, because it does everything in such a way that it cannot be saved
– argued the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm.
