Poland 2050 and PSL, we oppose the proposals made by Law and Justice and Civic Platform regarding the indexation of the 500 plus benefit, which would amount to PLN 800; in our opinion there is no room for valorization today – said Poland 2050 leader Szymon Hołownia.
On Sunday, PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński announced that the 500 plus allowance will be replaced with a new rate – 800 plus starting in the new year. In response, PO leader Donald Tusk proposed that this change be made on June 1 this year, on Children’s Day. On Tuesday, the PO chairman announced that the KO club will submit a bill to the Sejm on Wednesday about the indexation of the 500 plus benefit, which would amount to PLN 800.
On Tuesday, Poland 2050 leader Szymon Hołownia reviewed the PiS and PO proposals in a podcast on Facebook.
We and the PSL oppose the proposals put forward in the form they have been put forward by Law and Justice and by the Civic Platform. We believe that it is not entirely serious to make such promises to voters today, five months before the elections
said Holownia.
He argued that first of all the question should be asked: to whom should the money be taken and then distributed in the form of 800+. He also emphasized that increasing the 500 plus benefit would be an inflationary impulse.
In our opinion, there is no room for valorisation today
he stressed.
Platform project
The leader of Poland 2050 also referred to the announcement of the platform to submit a bill on the indexation of the 500 plus benefit to the Sejm. He said that if the draft could be submitted to the Sejm, “we would work with PSL to find solutions that would make this law fair.”
PSL has a proposal to introduce a criterion that this valorisation would only apply to working people. We also want to combine this with the income criterion
said Holownia.
There is no place in Poland today to give everything to everyone. Today, a sensible Polish state should help those who really need it, because it helps with our common money, and this help should be wise and targeted, not addressed equally to everyone, but directed to those who will use it can make. money, not just for them, but for all of us
he stressed.

On Tuesday, the Minister of Family and Social Policy, Marlena Maląg, stressed on RMF FM radio that PiS’s policy is well thought out and consistent and that this plan to increase by 500 plus from January 1 is the most optimal.
We have planned this in the budget plan
she noted.
