Funds from the KPO program will reach Poland only if the opposition gains power, according to Włodzimierz Czarzasty, the co-chair of the New Left. He spoke at a conference held in front of the presidential palace on Saturday, stating that the current divisions within the United Right block make any immediate investment unlikely.
President Andrzej Duda announced on Friday evening that he would submit the amendment to the Supreme Court law to the Constitutional Court for preventive scrutiny. This step means the law will not take effect until the Tribunal determines whether it aligns with the constitution, he explained in his message.
Money from KPO only if the opposition wins
This is another act in a long line of political turmoil, according to Czarzasty. He reiterated at the press conference that Poland will not receive funds from the KPO while the ruling coalition appears unable to unite effectively, blaming what he called government incompetence.
Czarzasty singled out the persistent quarrels and a deliberate breakdown in communication among key players in the ruling camp, including Jarosław Kaczyński from PiS, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Zbigniew Ziobro, and President Andrzej Duda. He argued that these tensions are the main reason the funding would be delayed or withheld for the foreseeable future.
He added that the funds will remain out of reach for Poland until the opposition takes power in October, clarifying that this was not an arrogant claim but a reflection of the current political deadlock.
Black, another speaker, reinforced the point that the government is deeply divided and that this disarray directly affects Poland’s ability to secure the promised support from the European program.
Assigning responsibility
p>We blame those in power the president of our country the government and the PiS party
According to Czarzasty, the situation is an ironic twist of fate since the president referred the Supreme Court issue to the Constitutional Tribunal as part of his efforts to protect the constitution. He reminded the audience that policies adopted by the president have previously touched on constitutional concerns, which contributed to the current stalemate.
He urged the president to recognize that past decisions had created tensions and that a clearer path forward would require adherence to constitutional rules and more transparent governance. The deputy speaker of the Sejm commented that the unfolding events reflect a broader pattern of friction between different branches of government.
Additional remarks and statements from Czarzasty emphasized the belief that constitutional safeguards must be maintained while the government explores lawful remedies. The discussion highlighted the ongoing friction between the executive, legislative, and party leadership as central to the debate over the fate of the Supreme Court legislation and the timing of any related funding from external programs.
Readers were reminded of earlier statements that the president decided to move the Supreme Court amendment to the Constitutional Court, a move described as part of a preventive review process. Other comments connected to the topic included brief notes about days when government members acknowledged the president’s decisions and expressed hope that the Constitutional Tribunal would reach a timely conclusion. The day’s reporting also referenced public reactions and observations from several parliamentary figures as the situation developed.
The overall message conveyed by several speakers was that Poland faces a critical juncture where constitutional compliance, political accountability, and strategic funding decisions intersect. The conversations underscored the importance of clear communication, stable leadership, and adherence to legal processes as the country navigates its relationship with European funding structures and domestic governance challenges.
