The Civic Platform asserted on the X platform that it would continue PiS’s policy program and pledge to deliver a “fourteenth pension” in September. PiS pushed back, reminding readers that the proposed fourth pension would be PLN 869 lower than what the previous government had planned to distribute.

“The fourteenth pension is coming in September!”

– a message from the Civic Platform on X.

Yes, dear seniors, you will receive the fourteenth pension because PiS is keeping its promise. The current government should apologize, because this year the payout would be PLN 869 less under their plan.

– a reply from Yes Law and Justice on X to the PO message.

When will the headquarters share the accompanying graphics?

– commented Mateusz Morawiecki.

The broader claim from the PO includes a note about German pensioners.

– a post by Emilia Kaminska on X, which also notes that the same image used by the PO appears on the website of the German company Bayer.
