A notable political figure from the Razem party appeared on RMF radio to discuss the debate around what some opponents label as Morawiecki’s gap. The interview explored whether there is a measurable shortfall that critics warn about in the Polish financial picture, and what it actually means for policy and citizens.
When questioned about the so called Morawiecki’s holes, the Razem representative offered a measured assessment. He explained that Poland does not carry debt levels higher than the European average. In his view, the claim that the country is in an exceptionally poor position regarding public debt is not supported by the data or by a careful comparison with peers.
Beyond this, the politician pointed to a broader set of issues within the tax system that deserve attention. There are gaps and vulnerabilities that could be addressed to improve efficiency, fairness, and revenue collection without compromising growth. His argument is that while debt levels may not be extraordinary, there is room for policy improvements that strengthen fiscal resilience and simplify compliance for ordinary taxpayers.
The discussion then turned to the role of foreign businesses operating in Poland. The Razem representative highlighted that while corporate tax rates in Poland are relatively modest by international standards, many large multinational entities manage to reduce their Polish tax liabilities through various mechanisms. This situation, he argued, underscores the need for vigilant policy design that closes loopholes and ensures a fairer taxBase for all businesses while maintaining Poland’s competitiveness in attracting investment.
The conversation touched on the broader political landscape as well, with observers noting how unity or discord within opposition groups can shape public policy debates. Analysts suggest that the stance of the left and pro social policies versus liberal programs will influence the direction of reform proposals and fiscal planning in the near term.
In wrapping up the exchange, the commentator emphasized that the tax system review should not be viewed as a punitive measure against business. Rather, it should be seen as a practical effort to strengthen tax collection, close gaps, and promote transparency. Concrete steps could include modernizing administration, simplifying rules for small businesses, and ensuring that foreign and domestic enterprises contribute fairly to the public purse while still supporting legitimate investment flows.
