There was so much talk about “free media” on TVN24, and meanwhile scandalous situations are taking place on the station. Minister Waldemar Buda’s microphone was turned off during the program “Kawa na ława”! The politician pointed out the dangerous and irresponsible game of the opposition around the bill on freezing energy prices and the accompanying insert on wind farms.
Wind turbines and expropriation in the energy price freeze law
Let us not forget that on November 28, a group of MPs from Poland 2050-TD and KO submitted to the Sejm a draft amendment to the Law on Support to Energy Consumers, extending the energy price freeze until June 30, 2024, in which also provisions liberalizing the construction of wind farms and wind turbines in Poland.
The project is intended to enable the construction of silent wind turbines at a distance of 300 meters from buildings. The authors of the project also proposed to expand the catalog of strategic investments to include wind farms, which means that it will not be necessary to analyze the compliance of their location with the local development plan. The project also includes provisions regarding the possibility of expropriation and the imposition of a tax on Orlen in the amount of PLN 15 billion, which immediately affected the company’s listings on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and resulted in a loss of more than PLN 5.5 billion.
Arłukowicz: PiS forgot people
The lobbying provisions in the opposition bill were defended by PO politician Bartosz Arłukowicz, who stated on TVN24 that the new law is necessary because PiS “forgot people” and the purpose of the amendment is to freeze energy prices. According to him, the changes regarding wind turbines are just a ‘throw-in’ of a broader project.
This twisted PiS nature of yours is trying to deceive the Poles of today. You forgot people and local governments
– said Arłukowicz.
In response, former Minister of Development and Technology Waldemar Buda pointed out the egregious provisions of the amendment to the Citizens’ Coalition and Poland 2050, which allow the construction of wind farms up to 300 meters from buildings or the expropriation of private individuals for investments in renewable energy. .
This coalition starts in a way that makes us look at the smallest bill. It is a coalition of interests. Lobbyists and facilitators hang around MPs and write whatever they want into the laws. And this is what your power will look like
– emphasized Waldemar Buda.
Correcting Arłukowicz’s manipulations, the PiS MP pointed out that the PiS government has not forgotten about Poland and the energy price freeze, and that the relevant project “is in the parliamentary freezer with Mr Hołownia.”
Microphone off
This did not please Arłukowicz, who again stated that PiS had “forgotten the people”.
There is our law. We have placed the bill for you
– emphasized Waldemar Buda.
Then the interviewer, Konrad Piasecki, told the sound engineer to mute the Law and Justice politician’s microphone.
It is not out of malice, it just prevents others from speaking. I ask Minister Arłukowicz to speak, regardless of what Minister Buda does
– said Piasecki.
In response, Buda emphasized that he would be willing to listen, but that “Mr. Arłukowicz should not lie.”
