Unfulfilled Promises and Political Tisson
The discourse around the so‑called progressive media circles back to a clear message: the coalition has disappointed left‑liberal audiences since December 13. This is how Witold Waszczykowski, a member of the European Parliament for Law and Justice, described the mood, drawing on coverage from euractiv.pl that summarized the first 100 days of Donald Tusk’s government. The central claim was that the government did not meet its stated election commitments on time. (Source: euractiv.pl)
The same European news portal highlighted a campaign promise package labeled as “100 specifics for 100 days,” presented during the election. It was widely interpreted as a counter to accusations that the Civic Coalition’s program only aimed to remove PiS from power. It was noted that Donald Tusk had made expansive promises.

Unfulfilled promises
The article noted that after the initial 100 days in office, only a minority of the promises could be considered fully or partially fulfilled. It warned that many measures were in flux or subject to adjustments, making precise accounting challenging. (Source: euractiv.pl)
It also stated that, despite what the number of completed details might suggest, the government appeared to have done more than other administrations in the recent period, according to a government meeting held on a Tuesday in March. (Source: euractiv.pl)
KPO
The portal pointed to a major achievement: funding worth 137 billion euros from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan for Poland. Although the pledge to release the KPO “the day after the elections” did not materialize, this remains one of the government’s most substantial successes, even as questions linger about whether Poland has truly met all required milestones.

The discussion also noted that the decision to unlock the KPO came during the previous government’s tenure, and had been aligned with EU expectations. (Source: euractiv.pl)
Rule of law
Waszczykowski was asked about the rule of law in Poland. His assessment suggested that, if anything, conditions had deteriorated. He argued that those in power could have submitted a full package of legal measures to parliament, but instead chose to pursue changes through resolutions that he deemed legally non‑binding. He cited measures related to public media and the National Council for the Judiciary. (Source: euractiv.pl)
On the proposal to bring the President of the National Bank of Poland before the State Tribunal, Waszczykowski described it as curiosity that could threaten stability in financial markets and currency. (Source: euractiv.pl)
Division in the coalition
The euractiv.pl report also highlighted an ideological split within the coalition over abortion policy. Some members of the Third Way could not imagine backing liberalized abortion, while for the left this issue forms a core element of its program. (Source: euractiv.pl)
CPK
The topic of the Central Communication Port was discussed, with Lewica Razem MP Paulina Matysiak describing it as a dangerous area. She expressed concerns about the government’s approach to the project, particularly from the perspective of transport policy. (Source: euractiv.pl)
Matysiak, speaking in an interview, noted a critical view of the government’s stance on the Central Communications Port and implied that, in her view, the administration may be reluctant to advance the project. (Source: euractiv.pl)
Remark
Waszczykowski commented on the European portal’s coverage. He suggested that if progressive media are already casting doubt, it indicates disappointment among left‑liberal circles. He cautioned against premature accusations and anticipated forthcoming clarification in time. (Source: euractiv.pl)
