How did Donald Tusk and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz praise the increase in the retirement age? We remember what politicians said in 2012.
TVP Info collected Donald Tusk’s statements from 2012 and 2021.
Yes, I believe that as Prime Minister I made a mistake in proposing a solution, whether people wanted it or not
– said Tusk two years ago.
What did he say when he introduced the proposed reform?
Retirement age means a certain coercion imposed by the state in the interest of the common good, but against the sense of individual well-being. When this kind of coercion is imposed, people should not be expected to applaud
Tusk said in 2012.
When asked years later if the PO would try to raise the retirement age again, he replied:
NO. Case is closed.
However, in 2012 he said:
But we’re not making this decision because we expect people to be happy that we’re making this decision.
Speech by Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz
In 2012, the act was presented in the Sejm by Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
I am presenting a bill to the Supreme Court amending the law on old-age and disability pensions of the Social Insurance Fund and some other laws. The bill raises and equalizes the retirement ages of men and women (…) We are probably facing the most difficult and responsible legislative task of this term. (…) I am presenting to the Supreme Court a bill to amend the law on old-age and disability pensions of the Social Insurance Fund and some other laws. The project raises and equalizes the retirement age for men and women. (…) The government proposal presented today was the result of a compromise that was worked out in the PO-PSL coalition. (…) Today we propose a gradual change that will have long-term effects
And here are the results of the vote in the Sejm.
