Waldemar Buda, who heads the Ministry of Development and Tourism, noted in discussions on the money.pl site that unofficial information from KO lawmakers suggests the 0 percent loan scheme, a flagship promise declared by Donald Tusk, might not be put into practice. He referenced this during an interview with wPolityce.pl, underscoring the seriousness of the now uncertain pledge and its potential political consequences.
The minister reminded readers that the 0 percent loan was a central commitment of the Civic Platform during the last election campaign. Its fate would not only cast a shadow over Tusk’s team but also shape the public perception of the party’s credibility in the lead up to the next electoral cycle.
Should this promise fail to materialize, the trust placed in Tusk and his team could suffer a heavy blow. The impact would likely be felt by young people who had anticipated a favorable loan option, with many delaying decisions on loans in the hope of benefiting from the so-called 0 percent arrangement. This shift would intensify the sense of disappointment among a generation awaiting affordable housing opportunities.
— many young people had postponed decisions about borrowing because of the expectation that preferential terms would be available, a sentiment echoed in political discourse at the time of the opposition’s early government formation discussions.

— Buda notes that data from the Central Statistical Office indicates a fragile economic moment, with thousands applying for the 2% loan and signs of a minimal recession avoided
He suggested that an implementation date around March 10 would be plausible, given that funds had already been set aside and structured for the 2% loan by that time. If the opposition group suddenly abandons the promise, it would be a bitter outcome that deprives many young people of their first chance to secure housing.
— the head of the Ministry of Tourism and Development highlighted the housing challenge in Poland, describing the free loan as a strong motivator for voters and a reason many cast ballots with enthusiasm during the campaign. Abandoning the 0% loan could be perceived as a major political misstep by the opposition as the election nears.
