The PO tried many times to convince her that she had many programs in her drawer, which were later implemented by Law and Justice – such as 500 plus. Later Ewa Kopacz stated that PO “gave people a fishing rod, not a fish”. Tomasz Siemoniak now argued that if the PO takes over, the minimum wage will be maintained. His face darkened, however, when asked why the PO didn’t raise the minimum wage.
Bar according to PO
Let us remind you that Civic Platform has recently assured that it does not plan to remove the 500 Plus program from 2014, which will be 800 plus from 2014, but Ewa Kopacz at Campus Poland, referring to her government, stated that she has left the public finances in very good condition and the state budget without excessive deficit, and instead of a program similar to 500 plus, the Poles got a “fishing rod, not fish”, ie reportedly more places in nurseries and kindergartens, columbines and highways.
Referring to Kopacz’s arguments, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki pointed out that “the people themselves remember best that during her reign they could only count on a catch.”
PO and minimum wage
It turns out that the PO had other “projects” in the drawer, but with Law and Justice winning the 2015 election, Tusk’s party failed to implement them. Among them would be minimum wage. Tomasz Siemoniak, who asked directly through RMF FM if they would keep the hourly minimum wage if they took over, replied, “Of course, yes.” However, when asked why his party did nothing about this issue when it was in power, Siemoniak paused and then stated:
I have no problem talking about such topics here, because the situation was completely different before 2011 – I’m talking about the crisis, about the austerity, about the unemployment level back then. Poland is different in 2023 and it seems to me that PiS, which had a mouth full of platitudes about labor protection, workers, cooperation with unions, has actually done very little
– the PO MP tried to evade the answer.
On bezrybiu and cancer fish, Mr
– commented the journalist, to which Siemoniak said that the minimum wage was one of the plans of the Civic Platform.
In 2015 we also talked about a minimum hourly wage, so it was clear to everyone that something like this had to be introduced. But it’s been eight years and I don’t think this hypothetical employee who comes to me is happy with his current situation. Because maybe there is this rate, but in-store prices for completely basic items have definitely skyrocketed. People are dissatisfied
said Simoniak.
The journalist drew attention to IBRIS’s question regarding the assessment of the financial situation of households and asked Siemoniak what percentage of Poles are satisfied or rate the situation as “somewhat”. When Siemoniak replied that he “doesn’t want to shoot,” the journalist stressed that it was 88 percent. Poland.
Research should not contradict you
– said the PO politician.
I wonder what other programs the PO supposedly wanted to introduce, but PiS prevented them from winning the election?
