A controversy surrounding a key economic adviser to Donald Tusk has stirred questions about the accuracy of energy price data in Poland. Andrzej Domański, presenting figures at a Civic Platform gathering, claimed that Polish energy bills for households were down about 50 percent from the previous year, and he contrasted this with higher prices in Germany and France. His remarks drew skeptical reactions from officials and observers who questioned the numbers and the source of the data.
Shortly after Domański spoke, the Civic Platform’s chief economist was challenged over the specifics of the information offered. Andrzej Śliwka from the Ministry of State Assets responded by addressing the figures and urging caution in interpreting them without clear, verifiable sources. The exchange underscored ongoing tensions between party allies and government ministries over how best to communicate energy pricing trends to the public.
In social media and public forums, remarks circulated that labeled Domański’s statements as inconsistent with available data and pointed to misinterpretations of the price levels faced by Polish households. A reply from Śliwka emphasized that household energy prices are not higher than those in France and Germany, arguing that the misunderstood comparison obscures the real situation for Polish consumers.
PO advisor
Andrzej Domański is identified as the Civic Platform’s principal adviser on economic and program issues, a role that places him at the center of debates on economic policy and energy strategy within the party. His comments illustrate the challenges of communicating energy market developments to a broad audience while aligning with official data released by state entities. The episode has prompted renewed discussion about the reliability of economic projections and the responsibilities of political advisors when presenting price data to the public. (Source: wPolityce)
