“Donald Tusk’s government has reached a new high, this time a disgrace! Yesterday they proudly boasted that they had raised PLN 1,300,000,000 for Polish universities,” Piotr Müller, PiS member of the European Parliament, wrote on the X website. He recalled that he had raised the alarm as early as February this year because it was a personal decision of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, which was not supported by an investment analysis. “For this government it is unclear why Poznań University of Technology needs a quantum computer,” he stressed.
We have withheld 1 billion 300 million, distributed among universities based on unclear criteria
— the Civic Platform reported yesterday on the X website.
For some unknown reason, the entry is no longer visible on Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s party profile.

Müller: It was Donald Tusk’s personal decision
The entry, although now “disappeared”, was mentioned by former government spokesman PiS member Piotr Müller, who had already drawn attention to the issue earlier this year.
Donald Tusk’s government has reached a new high, this time a disgrace! Yesterday they proudly boasted that they had collected 1,300,000,000 PLN for Polish universities. Yes, it’s not a joke – they take 1 BILLION PLN 300 MILLION from investments and brag about it!
– wrote the politician.
In February I revealed that it was Donald Tusk’s personal decision. A decision without any analysis of these investments! This decision has consequences for research projects, infrastructure investments and social services of all types of universities: Academies, AWF, PWSZ, Colleges and Universities.
– he added.
And he gave an example that – if we hadn’t had the chance to look at what the current government is capable of – would seem absurd:
It is unclear to this government why the Poznań University of Technology needs a quantum computer… I raised the alarm about it at the beginning of this year ▶️
Müller’s interpellation and answers
In his submission, the MEP included a link to the answer to his interpellation from January this year. Jurand Drop, State Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, responded to the opposition politician.
1 – On November 30, 2023, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki issued an order to the Minister of Finance, Mr. Andrzej Szpitalak, to transfer government bonds with a nominal value of PLN 20 million to the Pomeranian University in Słupsk (attached is the Prime Minister’s order of November 30, 2023 (DIR.

– wrote Drop.
In turn, in December 2023, Prime Minister Donald Tusk sent a letter to Finance Minister Andrzej Domański with the following content:
With reference to the letter of 14 December 2023 (…), I kindly inform you that I accept the Prime Minister’s orders pursuant to art. 8 section 1 point 3 letter a of the 2023 Budget Act of 15 December 2022 (…), which are indicated in the aforementioned letter from the Minister.
