A very decisive exchange of views took place in the television studio in Poland, when MPs Adam Luboński (Polska2050) and Andrzej Kolorowniak (PiS) began to comment on the policies of Szymon Hołownia, and then on the issue of raising the retirement age and the election promises of the current ruling coalition.
“Mr Cotowniak described the character of Szymon Hołownia as a terrible hypocrite,” Jakub Maciejewski, the PiS moderator, summed up the PiS MP’s statement and asked MP Luboński for a comment. It was about the statements made by the current marshal, but before the elections – that he is against abortion, that he will not form a coalition with Michał Kołodziejczak, or that he will introduce student dormitories for a symbolic zloty. The PiS politician listed the promises made by Hołownia that the leader of Poland 2050 does not keep. Luboński had no debts to his interlocutor – he defended the head of his party, accused the United Right government of being completely controlled by the PiS president and spoke about the gigantic national debt that the previous government had to leave behind. Cotowniak responded:
We have given you Poland in an excellent situation: the highest economic growth, one of the lowest public debts in Europe and one of the lowest, and in fact the lowest, unemployment in Europe. What else do you expect? So that we leave some gold bars for you to use?
The presenter broadcast a statement by Minister Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz (Polska2050), in which she expressed her support for the idea of equalizing the retirement age for women and men. “Now tell these women who are watching us that they have to work until they are 67,” Maciejewski told the Third Way MP. Luboński reacted decisively: in his opinion, the ‘minister’ did not announce any changes to pensions, but only spoke about a certain long-term economic necessity. MP Costowniak noted:
If the government fails to increase the efficiency of at least tax collection and the tax base, it wants to extend the working hours of every citizen, regardless of whether that person is prepared for it or physically able to cope with it.
The men could not agree on anything. The deadline for fulfilling the promises was also a hot potato of discussion. Luboński explained that the government had to be given time to implement its ideas; Kolorowniak accurately estimated that it would have a hundred days. Who was ultimately more convincing in this fencing argument?
