On the other hand, we are dealing with a partner who does not keep to the agreements and does not comply with the law – said PiS MP, head of the parliamentary committee on foreign affairs Radosław Fogiel when asked about the funds of the KPO.
What about KPO funds?
Asked on Radio Wrocław about the issue of money from KPO, Fogiel replied that one has to ask “when will the European Commission stop breaking the law and stop illegally, for purely political reasons, withholding the money that owed to Poland and Poland?”.
I would like this to happen as soon as possible, but we are dealing with a partner on the other side who is not abiding by agreements, who is not abiding by the law
he assessed.
According to him, “Poland has fulfilled all requirements related to the Reconstruction Fund regulation and should receive this money.”
Moreover, the fact that the issue is political, that there are no substantive assumptions, no rule of law, no legal issues, was recently confirmed by Donald Tusk himself, saying that if he won the election, the next day, in one day, KPO would be unblocked
Fogel said.
Playing the opposition at the expense of Poland
If you try to convince the Poles that these are complicated issues, that these are issues that require some change, that there are some irregularities involved, and then later the head of the opposition party says that one day is enough, that it basically enough is enough for him to win choices, it’s very clear. This is why KPO is stopped, to support the opposition in Poland
said the head of the parliamentary committee on foreign affairs.
According to him, “the opposition on this issue is working hand in hand with the European bureaucracy and is trying to deprive the Poles of this money.”
After all, this is not money for the government, this is not money for Law and Justice. This is money for municipalities, for institutions. This is the money of all Poles and the European Commission owns it illegally
he stressed.
The government implements the programs included in the KPO
Fogiel assured that the government “is not waiting with folded arms”, but is already implementing the programs included in the KPO.
We implement them with national funding.(…) And it all continues
he assured.
It is also worth noting the huge sums of investment transferred to local governments in recent years. There are local governments that had an investment budget of a million a year (…), and today, thanks to the road fund, thanks to the Strategic Investment Fund, they have many times more, 20, 30, 40 times more money for investments. Within a year they are able to complete investments that would normally take decades. And this is the measure of the changes taking place in local Poland, taking place in local governments
said the politician.
