“Just as Poland had to be rebuilt after the war, so it will have to be rebuilt after the PiS rule, Donald Tusk, the chairman of the Civic Platform, said at a meeting in Lodz.
“Poland’s renewal and rebirth”
Today a meeting of the citizens’ platform took place in Łódź. Donald Tusk began his speech with thanks.
Let me start by thanking you for what you have done over the past few days and hours to carry out this very ambitious and increasingly real project, namely the reconstruction, renewal and rebirth of Poland after PiS was removed from power.
– he said.
As he explained, KO politicians held more than 100 events and rallies in 31 cities in Łódź Voivodeship.
We start this great project, which includes PO outings in each of the voivodeships, with a visit to the Łódź Voivodeship and the first program edition, which has already aroused great interest and great emotions, the essence of which is a 0% loan is. for all young Polish women and men, young and middle-aged up to 45 years old who want to have an apartment
he said.
They want a flat because they want to live in Poland, in Łódź, in Pabianice, in Tomaszów. They don’t want to go anywhere, they want to have kids – one, two, three kids, pursue their dreams here, in our homeland
– emphasized the leader of the PO.
“Mischief who specialize in ruining dreams and hopes”
Tusk pointed out that in order to pursue their dreams, Poles must have a place to live.
We’re not talking about extraordinary claims. When I hear some reactions from malicious people who specialize in destroying, ruining the dreams and hopes of Polish women and men, that it is impossible, too expensive. After all, we are talking about a fundamental right – a citizen’s right to housing
– emphasized the former prime minister.
I want Poland to become like any normal European country, a place on earth where, if there is a family where two people work, they can buy a flat on credit because they live and work here, they can build or rent a house with state aid
he argued.
The 0 percent loan program is one of the ways to implement this very valid claim: that housing is a right, not a commodity
– added.
We’re not talking about some giveaway, we don’t want to compete based on some ideology. We are talking about the right of a Polish family – if you work honestly and don’t earn extraordinary coconuts – to take out a loan that you can pay back. This is an ambitious but really minimal program. The minimum expectation of people who want to make their dreams come true here in our homeland
– emphasized Donald Tusk.
If we used this motto of our travels: “The future is here”, let’s have no doubt – people will see their future in Poland, if they have a place to live
he continued.
We have so much data on the demographic crisis, we’ve had hundreds of meetings with Polish families. What do people tell us at these gatherings, every day really? “Lord, do something, because I’m afraid my children will leave Poland”
– responded to the emotions of the PO chairman.
I want to tell you that they will not leave. They will find their happiness, their hope here in Poland, if we give them a chance to live. And we are credible in this, unlike those who rule
he assured.
“What PiS steals in one year
Tusk expressed doubts about his proposals. At the same time, he did not let Orlen “prick”.
0% loan – of course there are concerns and I want to say very strongly that they are not justified. Of course, we know how to set up this program without endangering the banking system. It is not people, but BGK who refinance the interest so that the borrower is released. From a state budget point of view, this is a demanding but not risky program
– he said.
BGK’s support will amount to approximately PLN 4 billion in the first year. Do you know how much Orlen’s net profit was for the last 3 months of that year? 16 billion
he continued.
We will spend a lot of money on this program so that any interested Polish family can take out a 0% loan. for an apartment. But this won’t expose the state budget to higher costs than what PiS steals in a single year
– emphasized Donald Tusk.
Lodz is a good place to talk about apartment revitalization and renovation. We also want to allocate really big funds, and here it is also possible to use European funds, both from the KPO and the Cohesion Fund – no need to convince anyone in Poland that we can do it
he argued.
Revitalization, renovation of apartments, this is both help for local governments, for municipalities, a fund of PLN 10 billion, but above all, we will build this 0% loan project in such a way that it includes renovations of apartments in the future, so that they are finally suitable for to live
emphasized the former prime minister.
“Renovation is still needed”
Anyone who knows Łódź, Pabianice, but one word is enough: Silesia, knows that a reconstruction is still needed. Just as Poland had to be rebuilt after the war, so it will have to be rebuilt after PiS rule. Because they forgot that this business, Polish houses, needs constant care, including renovation, so that people have a place to live and it is not always necessary to build new residential areas for this
he said in his speech.
In Brzeziny you discussed the CPK. This is the program of Łódź Voivodeship and many other places in Poland, these unjust expropriations, this cruel treatment of people
he pointed it out.
When we made Poland the largest construction site in post-war history, have you ever heard of protests, although people were also expropriated? We have taken every human being, the fears of every Polish family very seriously and we have all received very fair compensation. There wasn’t even a single protest, even though the size of the investment was incomparable to what PiS is doing today
– he argued, forgetting things like, for example, the reprivatization scandal – it is the President of Warsaw, Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz, who comes from PO, who is accused of reacting incorrectly to this practice.
You were in the car wash in Kutno. Why in this specific car wash? To see the gas and electricity bill, compare two bills from February 2022 PLN 3,000 and from February this year – 16,000. zloty. Even if PiS officials write to Prime Minister Morawiecki today that people have nothing to pay ZUS with, these small businesses will collapse
he continued.
“What have they done to our homeland?”
Mayor Zdanowska briefed me on the next installment of PiS’ money grab. Local Action Groups, we have these non-governmental organizations all over Poland, active citizens in a particular local community who gathered spontaneously to use European funds as wisely as possible. No party has ever laid hands on it
he pointed it out.
It is interesting that in the matter of “pisowski’s money-making” he was informed by the president of Łódź, who was legally convicted of declaring untruth.
And – in Radomsko it was especially loud – it turned out that local action groups, including decisions of the Marshal of the Voivodeship PiS, are now creating their PiS action groups to get their hands on European money
Tusk emphasizes.
We will not see this European money as long as PiS is in power. They want to lay their hands on the money they stole from Poland. But it also shows this Piss mentality well. Everywhere they want their sticky… Everywhere, the tentacles of this PiS octopus want to kill the activity of those people who have since years genuinely wanted to care and take care of these local communities
he argued.
In addition to blocking this European money, we often say with such indignation that they are robbing Poland, but as a result, they can also rob us of the life and health of people in such Zgierz. The consequences of their internal conflicts, their anti-European attitude, also affect the health of the inhabitants, not only Zgierz
– the former prime minister played on emotions again.
Zgierz is the most appropriate place to discuss what they have done to our homeland, what they have done to the Oder, that they have made Poland one of the largest importers of waste in the world.
he continued.
We take it upon ourselves to win this election. No one will deprive KO of this patriotic duty. we must take full responsibility for the change in Poland this fall. We are ready
– emphasized Donald Tusk.
In the autumn we will win these elections for Poland. I tell you this today with full responsibility
– assured the chairman of the PO.
Appealing to emotions as usual, a few populist slogans and promises. And Poland does not have the best experience with the latter.
and I
