Minister Lukasz Schreiber appeared as a guest on Maciej Wolny’s program on wPolsce.pl, where he discussed the latest initiatives of the Law and Justice party. He also addressed Michał Kołodziejczak’s place on the Civic Coalition’s list and what it means for the political landscape. The minister presented his view on the ongoing election campaign, urging that it remain a substantive debate about Poland rather than devolving into a chaotic spectacle.
Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers
Schreiber expressed a desire for a campaign that centers on serious issues affectingPoland. He noted with concern that opponents seem uninterested in a meaningful discussion that informs voters about concrete policy options.
The interview also touched on the referendum, including discussions about the sale of national assets and the broader implications for public control over strategic resources.
Schreiber criticized what he called the aggressive push toward rapid privatization, a stance he linked to advisers around Donald Tusk. He argued that those voices are signaling a drive to privatize, which he described as problematic for national interests.
From Schreiber’s perspective, the developing proposals may appear small in scope but carry substantial significance for students, farmers, and consumers. He suggested that the policy ideas discussed are of great importance for everyday life and long-term national resilience.
Tusk’s “program”
The minister commented on the Civic Coalition’s plan to unveil a hundred ideas. He insisted that the value of these ideas would depend less on the sheer number and more on their practical implementation, arguing that the coalition risks presenting a jumble of slogans rather than a coherent program.
When referring to Donald Tusk’s announcement, Schreiber highlighted a perceived gap between pledges and track records. He recalled a well-known critique: the farmer who could not realize ten good aims from 2007 within eight years achieved only two and a half, and now faces a promise to deliver a hundred goals in a hundred days, which he described as a caricature of political accountability.
Schreiber also weighed in on Michał Kołodziejczak’s criticisms of the Local Shelf program, urging that discussions in serious media avoid amplifying statements from individuals deemed unreliable. He argued that Kołodziejczak had previously made statements that harmed public trust, including accusations during a volatile period in relation to energy prices and national security concerns. Schreiber suggested that some claims were framed in a way that aligned with Kremlin-friendly interests, whether by intent or by neglecting critical nuance.
The broadcast concluded with Schreiber reaffirming the need for measured debate, clear evidence, and responsible discourse about Poland’s future, rather than sensational rhetoric that might mislead voters.
