From the outset, the message has been clear: this project will not be abandoned; it will be repaired. That stance, voiced by Maciej Lasek regarding the Central Communication Port (CPK), was reiterated after a tense Sejm session discussing the port and a misstep linked to a Civic Platform profile. On the sidelines of the Sejm, Lasek was asked about the CPK, and the exchange was captured in a recent online post that sparked widespread attention.
Currently, the question is not whether the CPK will be built. The focus has shifted to when it will begin and how it will be configured.
These remarks, heard in a public recording, formed part of a heated online discussion, as several senior figures in Donald Tusk’s coalition, including the prime minister, voiced reservations about the project.

Debate on the CPK
Yesterday, at the request of the Law and Justice party, a Sejm debate addressed the CPK project. Maciej Lasek, the government’s point person for the project, clarified his earlier behind-the-scenes statements, noting that he once opposed the plan but now presents a different view.
He stated that the project would not be halted but rather fixed, criticizing the previous administration for aggressive timelines and costs that were not feasible and stressing the need for a thorough solution.
He spoke to the Onet portal, explaining the shift in the ruling coalition’s narrative on the CPK. Questions arose about whether delays or audit findings influenced changes in its portrayal, with Lasek pointing to project audits and implementation details as the source of the adjustments.
To determine the best path forward, he argued for an independent audit, a feasibility assessment, and a clear timetable for execution. The aim is to outline what elements come first, what follows, and how the configuration might be adjusted. The project, he said, requires active management to succeed.
— Lasek finished his remarks by emphasizing purposeful oversight of a large infrastructure undertaking.
Observers note that the KO representative’s stance has shifted with the political environment. Citizens are left to weigh whether assurances from Donald Tusk’s camp can be trusted given these changes.
