A coalition argument for merit. “The task was a year in the drawer”

The bill on social forms of housing improvement ignites emotions, as its main presumption is to increase funds for municipalities for social and municipal construction. It's about non-refundable grants to build fresh housing or repair empty homes.

The benefit can scope up to 80% of the investment value, and the solution is intended to finance up to 15,000 municipal housing units and those built by social housing initiatives and social housing associations.

"By 2030, the yearly limit is expected to emergence to PLN 10 billion, and between 2025 and 2030 the social and municipal housing will be allocated to a full of PLN 45 billion" – the Ministry of improvement and Technology boasts.

The bill proved to be specified a good solution that politicians decided to identify who was straight liable for it. – We gave the task to the government, received government support – last week, during the press conference, the leader of the fresh Left praised, The Wizard. The success of Lewica and the “Landowski and Kukucki Housing Act” was besides praised Magdalena BiejatWho fights for the Presidential Palace.

That's adequate to heat up the emotion in the coalition.

Who's liable for what?

Following the public statements of fresh Left leaders, the Minister referred to the case Krzysztof Paszyk, who stated on RMF FM that the task was not part of the Włodzimierz Czarzaste formation. In response, the head of the Left Club Anna Maria Żukowskaaccused the head of the ministry of ‘insolence’. That doesn't change much, due to the fact that PSL policy colleagues stick to theirs.

– The Act is part of a comprehensive housing program presented on 13 February 2025. The key to housing is the Ministry of improvement and Technology, says the origin of Interia from the Ministry of Development. – Tomasz Lewandowski did not participate in establishing his key principles, due to the fact that he did not want – our interviewor is nervous.

According to the papers available at RCL, they worked on the task Jacek Tomczak (former Deputy Minister of improvement from Poland 2050 – ed.), Krzysztof Paszyk, and earlier Krzysztof Kukucki fresh Left.

The name of the second is given in the "assessment of the effects of regulations" at the public consultation stage.

A amazing proposition from the erstwhile Deputy Minister

Kukucki left the hotel erstwhile he obtained the position of president Włocławek, in the spring of 2024. By the strength of things, he couldn't keep working on the bill.

– erstwhile I collaborated with Krzysztof Hetman as Deputy Minister, Minister and his squad dealt with the credit of 0%, while I was active in supporting the construction of housing for inexpensive rent, says Interii Kukucki. – As a result, a bill was created, which on 8 April 2024 was approved by the Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers – he emphasised.

As Kukucki says, it was a ban on segregated property for publically funded investments and an increase in the advanced limits of aid fund support. – The task was expected to hit the government, and actually it was there 2 weeks ago. The year was lying in the drawer of Minister Krzysztof Paszyk, who tried to invent the wheel again – said president Włocławka.

When we ask why the name of Tomasz Lewandowski is missing in government documents, the erstwhile Deputy Minister points to the management of the ministry.

– It's a question of who was entered by name, given by the ministry. Not who actually worked on these changes. In fact, they are 3 people: Tomasz Lewandowski, Kamil Trepka and manager of the Housing Department, Juliusz Tetzlaff. It is known that heads of ministries have full opportunities, indicate who and at what phase to enter into the RCL Kukucki thinks.

Left or Ministry?

In mid-February, Krzysztof Paszyk of the PSL and Deputy Minister Michał Jaros of the KO presented the strategy "Key to the flat" (which includes the Social Building Act – ed.). Interestingly, the politicians of the Left were incapable to give details.

– It is simply a program that is just scratching.... We request to see if it will not be a program to support developers – said the Senator in Virtual Poland Wojciech Necessary fresh Left. – Minister Kukucki and our current typical (Tomasz Lewandowski – ed.) presented their proposals. There may so be 2 projects in parallel," he added.

At the same time, journalists said Tomasz Lewandowski to be ‘cut off from information’ on the strategy. erstwhile we asked him if it was true, he denied it. The sources of the Interii in the Ministry of improvement say that all Deputy Ministers were invited to attend the conference.

– surely 90% of the provisions of this Act were prepared by my predecessor, Minister Krzysztof Kukucki. I worked on this task in the area of social rental agencies, precedence of applications, while cleaning this bill, I defended its records on the Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers – says Interii Lewandowski. – This is simply a coalition government, we all feel liable for good solutions. For me, it is satisfactory that so many environments talk of this bill as their own. This is simply a good forecast for the future – he thinks.

What dispute? “One Speech”

In his conversation with Interia, Tomasz Lewandowski argues that he does not see any dispute over the authorship of the bill. He only pays attention to the message made by the head of the parliamentary club of the Left.

– One media message warms emotions, but I did not announcement that the discussion continued (about who is the author – ed.) – the Deputy Head of the Ministry of improvement told us. "It is crucial that the full government adopted the content of this bill, it went to parliament. In the absence of critical votes from the opposition, I hope that it will almost unanimously pass through the Sejm. I focus on what is affirmative and what is connected – he emphasizes.

However, the coalition believes that the work on the bill is due to the ministry, not to a peculiar formation. Michał Jaros from the PO informed Interia that both the housing strategy and the social housing improvement law were “fully developed and prepared by experts of the Ministry of improvement and Technology”. – At the phase of the work on the bill, the full management of the ministry had an insight into the process of preparing it and the anticipation to bring its own solutions – notes.

The future of the Social Forms of Housing Act will now be covered by the Sejm.
