The columnist attacks the government. Deputy Minister Jabłoński responds: There was no money for PO, but there was for PiS. Because you have to want and be able to do it

Columnist Jakub Bierzyński accused the government of building an “economic miracle” based on “accounting tricks.” He received a strong response from the Deputy Foreign Minister.

In his contribution to the X website, Bierzyński argues that PiS has increased spending beyond budget. During his entrance he asked why “there was no money for PO”.

Morawiecki’s gap amounts to PLN 192 billion this year and PLN 277 billion next year. Why was there money for PiS and no money for PO? Because PiS financed its policies with debt, causing expenditure to fall outside the budget. Morawiecki’s economic miracle is based on accounting fraud and debt

Jabłoński’s answer

The deputy head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Paweł Jabłoński, commented on his submission.

Mr. Jakub Bierzyński asks a very important question: how come there was no money for PO, but there was for PiS? The platform also financed its policies by increasing debt (an increase from PLN 511 billion to PLN 890 billion – and somewhere along the way more than PLN 200 billion went out of OFE and the privatization was ‘lost’ – so de facto PLN 1.1 trillion ). They were on the verge of over 60% of GDP. During our government – ​​in conditions of pandemic, war and inflation – debt growth has slowed and the percentage of GDP has even fallen (48-49%). Significantly below the EU average. And most importantly, government debt in itself is not a bad thing. All developed countries are taking it. It is important that this debt funds policies, ensuring that money reaches those who need it most

– we are reading.

The worst thing is when the debts grow and the money disappears into thin air and never returns to the people. And this is what it looked like in the years 2008-2015. There was no money for PO – but there was money for PiS. Because you have to want it – and be able to do it

– writes Jabłoński.
