“PiS is already starting to back out of the “800 plus” proposal; they will not implement it,” said former PO chief Grzegorz Schetyna on Radio Zet. According to him, the Poles do not believe in PiS’s promise to carry out this program.
In an interview with Radio Zet, Schetyna was asked about the increase of the “500 Plus” childcare allowance to PLN 800 announced a week ago by the president of PiS.
I believe this is an idea introduced by Kaczyński at this PiS convention (…) I believe it was intended to address the issue of discrediting the Russian missile that landed near Bydgoszcz . It seems that it was an impromptu construction
said the politician.
In his opinion, PiS is beginning to withdraw from this proposal, since the Poles do not believe in its implementation.
They won’t do it. I think so. (…) People don’t believe in “800 plus”, Poles don’t believe it will improve their situation, they don’t believe it will be introduced
Schetyna said.
PO’s skepticism
According to him, PiS is accelerating with other election proposals because it sees that people don’t believe in the introduction of the “800 plus”.
Today they are backing away from this proposal, which was supposed to revolutionize the political scene in Poland, which was supposed to be a game changer. Today they are talking about consultation, about a project that will be in June. And that’s because Donald Tusk said “I check”. Put the project on the table and the project is gone
– said the Platform politician.
According to Schetyna, the idea of 800 plus was introduced by Kaczyński at the PiS convention to cover up “the issue of discrediting the Russian missile that landed near Bydgoszcz”.
In mid-May, PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński announced that the 500 plus benefit would be replaced by a new rate – 800 plus. The solution would come into effect 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 May 17, the head of the KO club, Borys Budka, announced that the Civic Coalition Club had submitted a bill to the Sejm on this.
Commenting on the opposition’s proposals, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki ruled that they were “missing”. As he said, the government has calculated everything, recalculated and is proceeding to specific works to implement solutions in a certain rhythm.
The ruling party’s response
The PiS spokesman was asked in the third program of Polish Radio whether it was possible to guarantee that the law on increasing the 500 plus child allowance to PLN 800, announced a week ago by the president of PiS, would be implemented during this term. are accepted. office of the Sejm so that it can come into effect from the new year.
Certainly, from January 1, 2024, 800plus will be introduced
said Bochenek.
We will show in the coming months, when drawing up the budget, that money is available for this programme
he announced.
The PiS spokesperson also pointed out that the draft law proposed by the KO regarding the indexation of the 500 plus benefit to PLN 800 from June 1 – did not mention the funding sources. According to the PiS spokesperson, this is about “fraud”.
