If the opposition agrees, significant changes are anticipated in the state’s finances, according to Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in a Saturday interview with Interia. He added that he is convinced many of these changes will be unfair, noting that a number of people have acted in a very positive way.
Asked whether he expected a political shake-up within the Ministry of Finance, Morawiecki replied that if the opposition lends its support, changes could be broad in scope. He emphasized that while some reforms might be controversial, they should be measured by their impact on the country and judged fairly by the public.
Morawiecki was also questioned about whether the ruling party, Law and Justice, might back reforms in the judiciary and in public media. He answered in the affirmative for any approach that benefits Poland, as long as it remains constructive and resolute.
Constructive opposition
When asked whether his party would operate as a total opposition, or perhaps strike compromises on judicial or media reforms, he stated that if they acted as an opposition, their stance would be constructive rather than total opposition.
We will pursue constructive actions. If the party becomes the opposition, which is not yet decided, it will intensify its activities and propose practical solutions. Some voters feel uncertain today, but a robust result in local elections will require careful planning and timely candidacies. If the opposition forms a government, the question will be which document grows longer: the Protocol of Discrepancies or the List of Unfulfilled Promises. There is concern about today’s election outcomes. A straightforward solution to the mood of hand-wringing and complaint exists: work.
Morawiecki noted that the country will see how strong the governing team remains in the coming months.
The competition for the new semester has only just begun, he observed.
