“We increased the minimum pension by PLN 250 – this is an increase in benefits for the pensioners who receive the least, said Marlena Maląg, Minister of the Family, Labor and Social Policy, in the program “Gość Wiadomości” (TVP Info).
Almost 3 million of our pensioners have already received the indexed benefit
she noted.
That is government policy in this difficult time. There is war in Ukraine, but we must take care of the Poles
explained the minister.
PO activities
Marlena Maląg also referred to Civic Platform policy.
We know what the opposition is saying. On the one hand, what Mr. Lenz said [o wstrzymaniu wypłaty dodatkowych świadczeń – przyp. red.], on the other hand Donald Tusk’s statement that what is given once cannot be taken away. We know that credibility is the foundation – it’s the foundation of our governance. We are building a strong, modern state based on the family
she noted.
Referring to the United Surveys survey conducted for Wirtualna Polska, which shows that half of Poles fear the liquidation of social programs in the case of PO governments, the minister said:
Let’s not be surprised, because when the PO went to the election, she said there would be no extension of the retirement age. That’s what they say now. After the elections, the retirement age was raised to 67 years. We’ve fixed it [wiek emerytalny do 65. roku życia dla mężczyzn i 60. dla kobiet – przyp. red.]. Credibility is the foundation. The opposition did not deserve to be called credible for its actions
