“Mrs. Minister....”, “I hear the voices of the outraged.” Coalition ministers in the network

Minister Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, liable for funds and regional policy, recalled to X that the ruling coalition had undertaken to increase the availability of housing. The budget guaranteed PLN 1.1 billion for social construction, and in late 2024 it was planned to add another billion. However, as the Minister pointed out, these funds were abruptly limited to PLN 618 million – 4 times little than in 2023.

“This is not the way!” Pełczyńska-Nałęcz wrote, stressing that Poland 2050 has passed a bill restoring the missing billion and expects the support of the coalitions.

Minister Paszyk's answer: money went to floods

Minister Pełczyńska-Nałęcz rapidly responded to the entry by Minister of improvement and Technology Krzysztof Paszyk of PSL. He explained that the money had been moved to rebuild houses destroyed by last year's flood.

"The Minister, the funds you are writing about, have been donated to aid victims in floods – specifically to rebuild their dwellings," wrote Paszyk. He added that the government will search additional backing for social construction and invited the minister to talk.

Minister Pełczyńska-Nałęcz did not quit the subject, and in her next entry on Sunday she pointed out that aid for floods is essential but should not take place at the expense of social construction. She indicated that it was originally to be financed from another funds – including the 0 % credit budget.

“Do we truly request to cut from an area that Poles consider crucial to their quality of life?” the minister asked, suggesting that instead, it was possible to reduce expenditure for example on TVP, the Church Fund or another budgetary provisions.

"I hear voices “indignant” that the case is being discussed publically alternatively than “under the carpet”. Yes, I think that people to whom we have made a commitment to invest in thousands of available housing should be made aware of what goes on with these investments," she added.

Should politicians argue with X?

In addition to financial issues, the discussion raised questions about the kind of communication between government members. any commentators felt that public disputes on X undermine the credibility of the coalition. Pełczyńska-Nałęcz replied to these allegations clearly:

"Yes, I believe that the people to whom we have made our commitments should be made public as to what is next with these investments" – she wrote.

Senator Krzysztof Kwiatkowski criticised the excessive transfer of political debates to the Internet. In "Facts After Facts", he urged the rulers to spend little time on X and more on task implementation.
