Internet users – it’s a loan
Users of the X platform pointed out that the money sent to Poland was a loan.
I am pleased that the minister is publicly presenting the information that KPO is a pure loan. Sovereign Poland has talked about it from the very beginning
– wrote Sebastian Kaleta.
It’s funny that the fact of the launch of the LOAN is being celebrated by the government as a Copernican coup d’état
– added.
Let us thank you for this photo, because although the December 13 Coalition tries to avoid the subject of KPO as a loan, it is here in black and white, even in the title of the operation: Loan Support. Haha. By the way, how sad is this in the context of Tusk’s government cutting back investments in Poland
— wrote another X platform user.
The authorities boasted of the largest transfer to a public account in history (KPO’s PLN 27 billion). There is one detail. It’s a loan
– added another internet user.
A special committee should be set up
Member of Parliament for Law and Justice Waldemar Buda drew attention to a different context.
No Polish opposition at the Council of the European Union on Friday afternoon on the Green Deal (tax for gas and coal users). Monday morning, KPO transfer from Brussels. However, they could have waited a while so it wouldn’t have hurt their eyes so much
– He wrote.
Waldemar Buda was also asked at a press conference in the Sejm whether he felt sorry for the years when funds from the KPO did not reach Poland. He replied that during the next term of office, the European Parliament “will have to explain the situation. It is possible that the agreements between the President of the Commission and the challenger for the Prime Minister in Poland have led to the blocking of KPO funds for a year and a half. ”
A special committee should be set up at European Parliament level to explain this
– he emphasized.
Why? Because the blocking of these funds by PO, Donald Tusk and (Head of the European Commission) Ursula von der Leyen has meant that we have not used these funds in their entirety. There are already analyzes today that show that we will lose several to several billions as a result. There is even an amount of 16 billion euros
– he said. “People who blocked these funds must be held accountable,” he said.
According to Buda, KPO funds are currently being unblocked based on the presidential law of June 2022.
What does it mean? Then they could already be unlocked. We will explain who blocked them. Everything indicates that it was a political agreement between Donald Tusk and Ursula von der Leyen. The next term of office of the European Parliament will be about this. I hope that all Polish MEPs will sign up to (establish) a committee within the European Parliament that will have to explain this
– noted the PiS MP.
