As promised, we have lowered the retirement age because we keep our word, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on social media, referring to the referendum question announced by PiS on raising the retirement age.
We were introduced to the second referendum question
On Friday, Law and Justice began presenting further referendum questions. The first question – as PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński said – will be: “Do you support the sale of state-owned companies?”.

Are you in favor of raising the retirement age to 60 for women and 65 for men?

Prime Minister: “We keep our word”
He referenced the PiS spot in a post on his profile Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
As promised, we have lowered the retirement age because we keep our word
he wrote, posting a link to the video with the question.
As of October 1, 2017, the retirement age is 60 for women and 65 for men. The regulations restoring the retirement age, which was in place before the PO-PSL government reform, which raised it to 67, were passed in 2016.
Referendum
PiS spokesman Rafał Bochenek told PAP that “the resolution of the referendum will be submitted to the Sejm and will contain four questions that will be tabled systematically in the coming days.”
A two-day session of the Sejm will take place on August 16 and 17; according to the schedule, it will consider a motion to order a nationwide referendum.
In June, Deputy Prime Minister Kaczyński declared that the issue of relocation of migrants in the EU should be put to a referendum. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki confirmed the intention to hold the referendum together with the parliamentary elections in the autumn. President Andrzej Duda has ordered elections for October 15.
