Bogdan Rzo4a spoke on the contentious case around the so-called Mill Act on wPolsce.pl, saying that the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Public Prosecution Service will face a tough assignment. The PiS member emphasized the challenge ahead for investigators and hinted at behind the scenes lobbying influence on the drafting of the bill.
When asked whether lobbyists were driving the project, he offered his perspective from a long career in politics. In 2016 he introduced the Distance Law in the Polish Sejm, and he described the persistent pressure lobby groups exert on lawmakers. He noted that his office received nearly 7,000 protests against the Law 10H, protests not from credible energy reform advocates but from the very companies that later faced changes in wind farm equipment imports. He argued that the current situation mirrors that pattern: heavy pressure, a bill so intricate that it seems to have been shaped by lobbyists and legal specialists rather than by MPs acting alone. The aim, in his view, is to resolve complex issues at a time when stabilizing energy prices is crucial for Polish families. He added that the investigation will need to untangle the threads of various ideas woven into a single legislative package and to address matters that do not align with immediate energy price freezing, which he deemed an important moment for the nation.
Rzo4a also criticized the limits of autocorrect as a fix for policy drafting flaws. He stressed that parliamentary oversight should cover the full spectrum of activity by lawmakers, not just isolated incidents. The withdrawal of controversial provisions aimed at freezing energy prices was a sign that some mistakes had been acknowledged. Still, he warned that the situation should be read in the context of a timeline that extends beyond June 2024, noting that a Law and Justice plan in Parliament proposes freezing prices through the entire year 2024. The new proposition, he argued, is clearer, more serious, and capable of delivering a year-long solution. He wondered aloud why the proposal would freeze prices only until mid-year, expressing genuine confusion about that approach.

Money from KPO
The PiS MEP turned to the funding question tied to the National Reconstruction Plan and the actions of the parliamentary majority in this area. He cautioned that announcements claiming money will be readily available once a new government takes power should be viewed with skepticism. The EU’s bureaucratic machinery operates in its own rhythm, and he warned that milestones can be difficult to hit. The public chatter fed by high-profile statements from figures like Donald Tusk should not be taken as the final word on access to funds. The European Union, in his view, does not rush to dispense resources, and it remains to be seen how quickly the money will flow. He recalled participating in discussions about whether any of the 27 member states that did not receive money from the KPO would face a threat of missing funds. The answer, he recalled, was unequivocal: every country would have a chance to receive the money in the next payment window. Poland was included in that expectation, but he warned against any miracle promises about Christmas timing or sudden windfalls.
— said Bogdan Rzo4a.
The overall take from these remarks suggests a cautious, skeptical view of fast money and a firm belief in measured, rules-based progress on both economic support and price stabilization strategies. The discussion reflects ongoing tensions between political factions, the EU framework for recovery funds, and the domestic priorities of energy policy and price control.
