“No one, despite the fact that Donald Tusk and other opposition politicians announced it, did not freeze, no one froze, Poles had heat in their homes. This also shows the efficiency of the Law and Justice government and that we are coping in difficult times of crisis. And so it will be in the future. As long as Law and Justice prevail, Poles can feel safe, they can feel cared for,” said Deputy Prime Minister, head of MAP Jacek Sasin in the program “Gość Wiadomości” on TVP1 and TVP Info.
The head of the Ministry of State Assets was asked about his words that Poland would not run out of energy resources after the introduction of an embargo on Russian industrial products.
There will be no shortage, because we have prepared very well for this moment
– confirmed Jacek Sasin, citing investments as the completed gas terminal in Świnoujście, the construction of the Baltic Pipe and interconnectors with neighbors.
On the oil side, the merger of Orlen and Lotos was critical in acquiring new markets from which to import crude oil into Poland.
– added.
Today we are completely safe and independent, independent of Russian resources, which unbuttoned our throats, who wondered if the Russians would not cut these resources from us. Today we have them from other directions, we are safe
he stressed.
Gas in Polish homes
The Deputy Prime Minister also spoke about a broad plan to connect more municipalities to the gas network.
This is a broad plan, especially last winter convinced us that gas is the most reliable fuel for heating Polish houses (…). Abandonment of coal in individual homes is something irreversible. This market was largely supplied by Russian coal
– explained the head of the MAP, at the same time recalling that Poland was the first to announce an embargo on Russian gas, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
We were one of the first countries in Europe to decide not to buy Russian coal, although it was not imported by the state, but by private companies and some local governments.
continued the deputy prime minister.
We did it, but we want to bet on gas. We have enough gas today. We have the infrastructure, we have the ability to get gas from many directions, both from the United States and from the Persian Gulf
– he said.
We want this gas to be more present as a heat source in Polish homes
– added.

Tusk threatened to freeze Poland…
There was no shortage
– said Jacek Sasin, when the program recalled dramatic announcements by PO politicians that the Poles would run out of fuel before the winter.
I said this today I am not surprised that Donald Tusk predicted that Polish homes would run out of coal after the Russian coal embargo was introduced because he judged us with his measure
– remarked the deputy prime minister ironically.
If Civic Platform were in power, this coal would indeed run out
– added.
No one, despite the fact that Donald Tusk and other opposition politicians announced it, did not freeze, no one froze, Poles had heat in their homes.

As long as Law and Justice prevail, Poles can feel safe and cared for
– emphasized the head of MAP in the program “Gość Wiadomości”.
