As “Fakt” found out, Donald Tusk retired early! The tabloid revealed that the head of Civic Platform has been receiving benefits for working in European structures for a year now, and that is really a lot of money.
“A high European pension” by Tusk
Interestingly enough, the head of the PO himself boasted that he received a “high European pension” at a meeting with voters in Rokietnica near Poznań, which took place on March 10.
Indecent as it may sound, I won’t jump any higher than I used to. Commentators and politicians wonder – I wonder who this Tusk wants to become. And I think so, in my case you can believe the motivation is different. I have a high European pension, I have my children, grandchildren and my wife at home. I have no financial needs, I have already determined my positions in my life
said Donald Tusk.
“Fact’ indicated that the applicable retirement age for the staff of the EU institutions is 66 years. It turns out that Tusk exercised his right and took early retirement.
The issue is regulated by Art. 11 of the European Council Regulation “on the determination of the salary of persons holding high public office in the EU, assuming that such persons cannot apply earlier than six years before reaching retirement age to retire”. However, early retirement is associated with a lower benefit than after the age of 66.
Nearly 21,000 zlotys per month
What kind of pension will Donald Tusk receive? “Fact” indicates that the head of PO will receive a pension from April 23, 2022. This is about 4.6 thousand. euros per month gross, so approximately 21 thousand. PLN gross for the Presidency of the European Council in 2015-2019. If the head of the PO had waited until he was 66, he would have received about 600 euros more in pension per month.
In addition, Tusk can also count on a pension from ZUS of approximately PLN 9,000. zloty. However, there is no information on whether Tusk requested it.
Let’s not forget that it was the Tusk government that decided in April 2012 to raise the retirement age for men and women to 67. This meant working up to seven years longer for women and two years longer for men. The amendments have been canceled by the Law and Justice government.

Internet users comment
Information about Tusk’s early retirement has not gone unnoticed by Twitter users – including politicians. In particular, Internet users point out that it was the current head of the PO who wanted Poland to work longer.
According to the media, he accelerated retirement in Brussels and raised the retirement age for Poland. He owns more than 20,000. PLN per month, and offered Poland several hundred zlotys, with valorization at the level of a few zlotys. Without 13 and 14. Today he pretends to take care of the seniors. Extremely brutal type.
An extended retirement age for Poland, an earlier Euro retirement for myself Honestly.
He raised the retirement age for Poland and took early retirement himself. Tusk. Almost 21,000 zloty pension per month (4,600 euros).
Donald Tusk: for himself – early retirement, PLN 21,000 gross per month (+ Polish benefit from ZUS); For Poland – raising the retirement age to 67; minimum pension in 2014: PLN 895; valorization for a few zlotys; PO – Party of Unglued “elyt III RP”
“Fakt” states that D. Tusk has exercised his right to early payment of the Euro-pension and has been receiving an allowance for almost a year, which for the former head of the European Council amounts to about PLN 21,000. PLN gross. For Polish women and men: work until the age of 67 and early retirement for myself.
I am less concerned about the hypocrisy of retiring at 65 when the retirement age was pushed up to 67. I am more concerned about the leader of the opposition with a permanent and high pension from Brussels. “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21)
