This year’s elections are about Poland’s future, whether the country will remain strong, independent and self-governing, i.e. the country created today by Law and Justice, or continue to depend on others, said the Minister of Family Affairs and Social Policy Marlena Maląg on Sunday in Ostrów Wielkopolski.
“We are embarking on an amazing journey for the future of our country”
The head of the family department, Marlena Maląg, met with the residents of Ostrów Wlkp on Sunday.
We are embarking on an amazing journey for the future of our country. We want to talk to you about plans for a strong and good future. It is people who will decide in which direction Poland should go and how it should develop
– she said.
She recalled that the 2015 PiS election program was not created in the privacy of offices, but through conversations with Poland. She promised that this time it would be like this and the goal would be to build a strong Poland.
It should be modern, independent and based on a strong foundation, namely family
she said.
“More than PLN 240 billion has already gone to Polish families.
She admitted that the past two years have been very difficult for the government and the country. The reason is the coronavirus pandemic and the outbreak of war in Ukraine. Despite these difficulties, as the minister noted, the PiS government did not impose restrictions on social programs.
Our flagship program that has changed the face of Polish families is +Rodzina 500 plus+. More than PLN 240 billion has already gone to Polish families. More than 7 million children receive this benefit every month
she stressed.
She added that people and family are important to the Law and Justice government. That is why assistance programs are designed for children, parents and seniors. This year, PLN 5.5 billion will be allocated to the toddler plus programme. According to her, seniors also have a worthy valorization of the 13th and 14th pension. This year, the government will allocate at least PLN 70 billion to this, she said in Ostrów Wlkp.
Other social programs include a good start, a maternity allowance for parents who have raised at least four children and are not entitled to a minimum pension, or family care capital, she said. She stressed that there was no such support before 2016.
“It hurts them that PiS works for another man
According to the head of the family ministry, this year’s elections will be about Poland’s future, whether the country will remain strong, independent and self-governing, i.e. the country she says creates Law and Justice today, or depend on others. Can citizens count on state aid, or is it chaos financed by the opposition, so a squabble over positions, she said.
They can’t accept defeat, they are hurt that PiS works for another man. We do not want to return to the time when they ruled, or to what happened in the time of the People’s Republic of Poland. Nor do we want the soulless reforms of Balcerowicz, when Polish families felt unsafe, when unemployment galloped and millions of unemployed could not count on state aid
she pointed out.
“We will help because we have money
According to Marlena Maląg, Poland must be safe, which is why the governing party is also focusing on rebuilding the army and a strong position in NATO.
Today we are the leader in all activities in the European Union and on the international arena. This is the power of our diplomacy, the efforts of both Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, but especially of our President Jarosław Kaczyński
– she said.
The PiS government has – as she emphasized – proven that it can help people in difficult times.
The opposition said coal would become scarce and Poles should stay in cold houses. There is no shortage of coal, we have even introduced subsidies for its purchase
she gave an example.
According to the minister, the current government is concerned about the increase of the minimum wage, which will amount to PLN 3,600 this year, and about setting the hourly rate for people working under a civil law contract.
We will help because we have money. This is because we sealed the support that the PO gave to the elites during its rule, and VAT mafia were supported
she said.
