Leszek Balcerowicz joined the sharp criticism of the program “Rodzina 800+”. “This is, I would say, political bribery for the naive,” he said in an interview with Krzysztof Ziemec on RMF FM. What if Tusk’s government follows the instructions of the former deputy prime minister and, in order to hide the budget gap, decides to abolish a social program so important for Polish families? This threat is becoming serious.
Prof. Leszek Balcerowicz criticized the introduction of the “800 plus” program on RMF FM, feeling that it was ineffective in achieving the stated goal of increasing the fertility rate. He believes that this program should not be introduced at all.
It should not be introduced at all, because the stated goal of having more children was a mockery from the very beginning, because this way the fertility rate is not increased because it is very difficult to do it. So this is what I would say: political bribery for the naive
– he said.
Unfortunately, we have observed such populist degeneration in Poland in recent years, no matter who cares more. There are two parties competing with each other: PiS and PO. They compete with reforms. With the help of the one who gives more. But the one who gives more takes more, because politicians don’t give away their own money
– summarized Balcerowicz
Balcerowicz’s vote is part of the “plan for the liquidation of 800+”, which was accurately described by PiS MP Paweł Jabłoński, pointing out that a propaganda attack is underway and that public opinion is being formed with “opinions of experts’ and ‘surveys’.
