“When the opposition made all the promises, it was clear what the budget looked like and it looked good. We leave the budget in a better situation than they left us in 2015,” emphasized the Minister of Development and Technology, Waldemar Buda, in an interview with Maciej Wolny on television wPolsce.pl, in response to the opposition’s allegations regarding to the supposedly bad condition. of the Polish budget.
What about the state budget?
Let us recall that Third Way MP Paulina Hennig-Kloska stated in one of the radio stations that the state budget does not provide money for the valorization of the 500-plus program. For her part, PO’s Izabela Leszczyna said there was a big hole in the budget.
When asked about this, Minister of Development and Technology Waldemar Buda pointed out that “if a program is adopted, its financing must be assured.”
You cannot pass something on and you do not indicate where the money should come from. This must be a specific source identified in the budget. We have passed this law and the budget includes resources for this purpose. If someone says you can pass something on and you don’t have the money for it, he hasn’t looked at the budget at all and he doesn’t know. how politics works
– emphasized the politician.
Noting that the opposition may not have had access to information on the state budget, Minister Buda explained that information on budget implementation is presented every month.
Month to month. The assumptions for the budget were presented in June, because such a legal obligation applies until June 15. On September 28, the Council of Ministers adopted the draft budget law. So everything was clear from the start. It is transparent and clear. We adjusted the budget, but that is laid down in law, so all parliamentarians participated. When the opposition made all the promises, it was clear what the budget looked like and it looked good. We leave the budget in a better situation than they left us in 2015
– Waldemar Buda added.
Opposition games and Tusk around
The conversation also touched on Donald Tusk’s pompous announcements about unblocking KPO funds for Poland after the elections. This week the head of the Platform is going to Brussels – as he claims.
If Law and Justice had won, these funds would have gone to Poland anyway. I suspect that these funds are blocked today for political reasons. (…) It would be a huge scandal if it turned out that the demands made on Poland today would not be enforced because it was political rhetoric.
– Minister Buda noted.
