PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński entertained us with the fact that he wanted to be like Kazimierz Wielki. We did not hope that since he found analogue Poland, he would leave it digital – which would deserve a Kazimier analog. But we quietly believed that the president, as he promised many times, would rebuild the castles of the Casimir era. Sadly, he did not rebuild — of course, Tusk’s wine. On the another hand, the leader of the Civic Coalition decided to go back in this Piastov relay and just presented his investment programme to Bolesław Chrobry. He hired a king of parcels to be the Musk to the degree of our capabilities and brought in 1 of the richest companies in the world, the American Google, to invest billions of PLN in Poland. Why the Chrobry? This is expected to be the patron of the fresh economical plan for the ruling team.

In the royal duel of Tusk and Kaczyński there are not many monarchs left for development
Donald Tusk presented an economical strategy called “Poland. Year of breakthrough” at the office of the Stock Exchange. He chose Bolesław Chrobry as its patron due to the fact that he was the first king of Poland, and it is 1,000 years since its coronation. — Chrobry showed large courage, political cunning, vision. And I am convinced that it is in our historical memory that Poland was then promoted to the first league of European countries," said Tusk, by his education.
We could gag that in the royal duel of Tusk and Kaczyński there are not many monarchs left to manage. Papa Casimir, king of Elbows, seems to fit, so much of his nickname derived from micre growth is not suitable for the patronage of arrogant political plans — surely not like Chrobry or the Great. Jagiełło, on the another hand, beat the Teutonic German, but it was Lithuanian, possibly illiterate, and a secret pagan. Batory, on the another hand, is Hungarian — Tusk is not a match, and Kaczyński would have a problem with him. Gentlemen, we propose that you have Sobieski, who beat the Islamists. Then it gets dangerous close Targowice.
The Prime Minister's far-reaching plans were unknown to his ministers
We're sitting here, and the Prime Minister is seriously convinced that he has a plan. Therefore, from a chronicle obligation. Tusk announced, that investments in Poland in 2025 will amount to over 650 billion PLN and this is to be a careful respect. “This is simply a evidence amount, specified as has not yet been in the past of the Polish economy,” said the Prime Minister. And he added that we would scope 4% growth in 2025, even though circumstances are not easy.
The announcement included an increase in the VAT exemption limit from the current PLN 200 1000 to PLN 240 1000 (small companies whose sales value will not exceed the erstwhile taxation year of PLN 240 1000 will not pay VAT), an increase in the amount of contributions to the Individual Pension Insurance Account (i.e. to an additional pension), a simplification in Belka's taxation (tax on profits from financial investments, including bank investments and dividends from companies), copper taxation (tax on extraction of certain minerals, including copper and silver – it is mainly paid by the state giant KGHM), and a beneficial change in taxation limitation for taxpayers.
We do not want to be petty, but it was Tusk's erstwhile government that raised VAT to 23 percent and introduced the copper tax.
Palo licho that the Prime Minister's far-reaching plans were not known by the another coalition leaders and most members of the government. Tusk simply believes that people want large visions — in this respect he radically changed his policy compared to erstwhile governments from 2007 to 2014.
At the time, he said that if individual had a vision, he should go to the doctor — it was a remark clearly directed to Kaczyński, who had what, but visions always. Another thing — what visions were. We callback the large economical plans of Kaczyński and the government of PiS, which have never been implemented. Morawiecki's plan, or strategy for liable Development, remained a utopian presentation. 1 million electrical cars — none. 3 million housing units under the flat Plus program — little than 20,000 were created. By the way, Kaczyński was the first to throw the slogan of major investments. This 1 just left — as if he were being patronized by Chrobry and Kazimierz. First, in December 2013, at the end of erstwhile Tusk governments, he stated that he knew how to mobilise a trillion zlotys for an investment programme that would modernise the Polish economy. Among the sources of backing was "EU funds, alleged leverage mechanisms and a 100 billion overliquidity in banks".
In a run before the 2015 elections, which gave the Law and Justice a self-government, He raised the bid to a trillion and 400 billion “for investments, for the mobilisation of Polish private capital and infrastructure, for various areas of economical life, for the renewal of the maritime economy, for the improvement of different regions”. We're not gonna comment on what it was worth.
There were besides specified large plans, which unfortunately were realized and caused chaos, which contributed to the PiS election defeat. The list is opened by the Polish Dada, which was to be a task of pressing money from the more wealthy (the goal was to electorate the Platform) and to transfer it to the poorer (i.e. the PiS electorate). another assumptions — aside from cash transfers — were a lot. We are peculiarly entertained by the “solar energy for all pocket” (while PiS in practice fought against photovoltaics), or it was a — president's eye — program to build cottages up to 70 metres without permission. They were to be “pretty, simple and inexpensive in construction” and necessarily with a flat roof. In practice, akin regulations had already worked before the Law and Justice came to power, but the construction of tiny houses was already not successful. The cosmetic changes made by the Law and Justice have not changed this. In 2022 — the first year after the changes — about a 1000 home construction applications were made.
Peaches like Musk. The Prime Minister knows that he has failed the entrepreneurs who have brought him to power
The Tusk program clearly shows 1 element. The Prime Minister knows that he failed entrepreneurs, especially those whom he promised in the run to reconstruct a lower wellness contribution.
It is about the victims of the Polish Lada who voted against the Law and Justice in 2023, giving power to the current coalition.
For cooperation on the preparation of business-friendly solutions Tusk invited billionaire Rafał Przoska, founder of InPost. Formally, the king of parcels is working on deregulation, which is to destruct unnecessary regulations that hinder economical freedom, as is Elon Musk for Donald Trump. But it is besides expected to bend over the destiny of tiny entrepreneurs, just those who pay importantly increased wellness contributions after the Polish Łada.

We wondered respective days ago what was going on in Brzosaska erstwhile he complained in “Gazeta Wyborcza”: “In my experience, it is the entrepreneurs who most frequently feel the crisis coming. present we have small time to take decisive action to save both Europe and our country from the economical collapse. Poland has the chance to initiate action in this direction during its Presidency. I hope, though I may be naive, that any politicians will find this message. Business moods are getting worse. It is worth noting that in Poland we have respective million of them, and ignoring this social group over the last fewer years was foolish not to say stupid. On one-man economical activities and micro-firms, we worry about the liquidity and taxation interpretations. In tiny and medium-sized companies, we have on our head rising labour and energy costs and again fighting bureaucratic machinery, specified as a treasury that frequently treats us as an enemy. In large companies, we fear that national or EU regulations — accepted due to ideological flashes — will turn our business overnight. But we have 1 thing in common. Something I call economical patriotism. Polish business is ready to support and advise politicians who truly want economical development, good leadership and change Europe. The current situation in the US shows us what cultural wars are leading to above business development. Donald Trump has received as strong a ticket as no 1 has always won in years. Americans have shown their choice that they are tired of ideological struggle, and they are primarily curious in the economy and their own economical situation. They see that their “American Dream” is ending and decided to get it back. The Americans want greater liberalisation of regulations, a focus on industry, innovation and a strong economy."

In this way, Peaches either wanted to draw the Prime Minister's attention, or he was already after a word with Tusk. We do not attach religion to the Brzoski mission, to be honest. We just remember all of Tusk's deregulation scraps, which did not do much. Let's remember. During Tusk's first regulation (2007-2011), the economy was deregulated for him by Janusz Palikot, head of the peculiar Parliamentary Commission Friendly State. During his second reign, Tuska deregulation Jarosław Gowin as Minister of Justice.

Even now, the government has an lawyer for deregulation, who operates in the Ministry of improvement with Minister of PSL Krzysztof Paszyk. Neither Paszyk nor government deregulation agent Mariusz Filipek knew about Tusk's thought to do outsourcing deregulation to Brno.

In this sense will attract billionaires to the government of the Peaches It's more of a political task than an economical one. By the way, another component is interesting — Peaches are trying to buy TVN. And Tusk put TVN on the list of strategical companies that the government has to agree to sell.

Close ties with large business contributed to the troubles of Tusk's erstwhile government
We have a light déjà vu. We would like to remind you that close ties with large business have contributed to the troubles of the Tusk government — part of the PO's celebration with billionaires was recorded by waiters of the “Sowa and Friends” and “Amber Room” restaurants, contributing to the political crisis and the failure of power by the Platform in 2015. This is not an accidental combination — In the background of the pictures, Tusk and Brzoska saw Tomasz Misiak. He was erstwhile Senator of the Platform, thrown out by Tusk at the very beginning of the government — in 2009. At the time of the explosion, Bear was a business associate of Mark Falenta, a businessman who paid waiters for the recordings. Misiak, for example, sat on the supervisory board of the telecom company HAWE, controlled by Falenta. Falenta didn't trust him. Therefore, Bear was 1 of the most recorded guests of “The Owl” — there are to be respective tapes with his participation.

It was from Bear Mateusz Morawiecki that he was besides recorded by waiters. “I heard... from another people, including Mr. Thomas Misiak and Zbigniew Jagiello, that they were recorded in restaurants and that I was more likely to be recorded,” he testified on 8 December 2014 before the ABW. Bear and Morawiecki kept in constant contact.

Morawiecki wants to cooperate with Brzoska, who works for Tusk. PiS in shock
Therefore, we are not amazed by the surprise of the Law and Justice Office — that Morawiecki, after Tusk's political-business engagement with Brzoska, volunteered to help.
On X/Twitter, Peaches wrote: “The Prime Minister made it clear: “Do you want deregulation? Then offer it in concrete terms.” And that's what we're gonna do. I have long stressed that the chains of regulations – both European and national – restrict the competitiveness of the Polish economy. We can't grow, others are ahead of us. Time to go. I will do everything to unite the business community and together with policies of all options, government, officials and social organisations, prepare concrete proposals for deregulation changes. specified proposals for deregulation will be collected in an open paper and presented to politicians. They will decide whether they choose real business support or stay on empty declarations. adequate promises under the slogan “deregulation”. It is time for a “check”.’
Morawiecki replied: “Mr Rafale, I am glad that there are leaders in the Polish business who not only diagnose problems but besides take work for uncovering solutions. Deregulation is simply a subject that requires sound analysis and courage to make decisions – both on the part of the rulers and the opposition. I will be happy to meet the business community and join this initiative. dialog with entrepreneurs is the basis of wise reforms, and the Polish economy needs changes that will give companies more space to make and compete on global markets. I look forward to the first proposals – I am ready to talk and act.”
The erstwhile Prime Minister stands out against the background of his organization colleagues, who like to make a business shark from the Peaches, insensitive to the pains of average workers.
Former Minister in the Morawiecian Government Przemysław Czarnek: “This “Musk Tuska” is the man who led the company, who benefited from the fact that since 2013 Poles have received shipments e.g. from courts or taxation offices in masquerade, food and kiosk stores. All strategical correspondence was extracted from the Polish Post and transferred to the free market, i.e. for InPost Rafał Brzoski. If this is the way to deregulation for 1 company... no of that was good. We are dealing with a rerun of entertainment.”
Former Deputy Prime Minister in Morawiecki government Jacek Sasin: “That theatre with Mr. Brzoski's finger on it was a alternatively embarrassing spectacle. Supporting good initiatives from people with bad intentions is not precisely good. We should not be performing in the Tusk Theatre."

Morawiecki, Szydło, Obietek — they avoid engaging in Nawrocki's election campaign
But Morawiecki has a purpose. He's busy with autolans today, not taking care of the PiS business. It is clear that the erstwhile Prime Minister avoids engagement in Karol Nawrocki's electoral campaign, he does so ostensibly. Another thing is, it's a bigger problem at the PiS parliamentary club. Our PiS interviewers say that there is not much enthusiasm for Nawrocki in the organization — he is treated like a abroad body. Nawrocki’s meetings with voters, they say, are good. The problem is that the overwhelming majority of Members and Euro MPs do not aid the campaign, and that is crucial given that the Law and Justice no money to finance Nawrocki's lavish promotion. “The organization is not involved. There is no fight for the outcome,” says our interviewer, the high-ranking politician of the Law and Justice Union. - possibly all fifth. Still, after dense force from office and headquarters, he adds.

Some do not aid with the specified laziness — the Law and Justice, contrary to appearances, are not a organization of mobilized, energetic MPs today. any do not aid due to the fact that they have no interest in it — no substance what the result of the presidential election, they will get nothing or lose nothing. But some, especially high-ranking writers, do not want to aid Nawrock due to the fact that he is jealous of his position on the right after the election — Even if he loses, he'll be on the second tour. And he'll get 8-9 million votes, which means his express promotion in the PiS hierarchy. Our interviewer resents not only Morawiecki, but besides PiS specified as Beata Szydło, or Daniel Obietek, who besides bypass Nawrocki with a wide bow, engaged in fighting for their own position.

Navrocki Travel Institute — Mexico, Argentina, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Hawaii, Japan, China, Australia, fresh Zealand
Every day, you can see how much the Law and Justice didn't check Nawrocki before filing for president. First, what we revealed in the “Exclusive State” was that he had bald and tattooed colleagues from the underworld. In this group are among others. recently detained Olgierd L, or "Olo", in youth neo-Nazi skinhead, who over time came to the position of 1 of the leaders of the Tri-City Mafia, as well as Patrick Masiak, an MMA fighter known as the "Big Bu", convicted of kidnapping, awaiting a sutery sentence.
Krzysztof Ćwik / PAPOlgierd L.
Then, these reports from “Gazeta Wyborcza” said that he occupied a luxury hotel suite at the Museum of the Second planet War in Gdańsk, which he managed. all time Nawrocki explained himself differently and murkyly. We will say this plainly, even at hazard of a run suit — he was just stalling.
Since we heard of Nawrock as a possible candidate — that is, since the autumn of last year — our interlocutors from the Law and Justice and the Institute of planet War II mentioned another thing: that Mr. Charles is simply a actual globerotter, a lover of travel for state money. The latest information confirms that. As the head of IPN he travelled over PLN 300 1000 during 31 trips. The list includes countries as crucial as Mexico, Argentina, Zimbabwe and South Africa. More — almost half a million — we paid for Nawrocki’s travels as the manager of the planet War II Museum. There were besides quite a few exotics — Hawaii, Japan, China, Australia, fresh Zealand.
We were especially intrigued by this journey to Hawaii, the American “state of love”, known for its hula dance.
planet War II MuseumKarol Nawrocki at a museum in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
— I was to accompany Nawrock on his first business journey to the United States, including Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where planet War II began for the Americans. At meetings with Polonia, I was to tell about the past of Westerplatte and the construction task of the Westerplatte Museum – he mentioned before the election of Nawrocki as candidate Mariusz Wójtowicz-Podhorski, erstwhile manager of the Westerplatte Museum and the 1939 War, or branch of the Museum of the Second planet War in Gdańsk. I didn't go. Nawrocki called me and said I would not fly due to the fact that “I would get tired of flying due to the fact that it is far.” And that I'd be served by a girl who, in her erstwhile directorate, was an administrative specialist, and Nawrocki was promoted to his replacement. Before leaving, she had to learn a lot about Westerplatte and the past of defence to replace me," said Wójtowicz-Podhorski in an interview for Virtual Poland.
Nawrocki attacks Trzaskovsky with a rampage
Nawrocki defends himself that he is all for Poland. “Since the advanced typical of the European Union for abroad Policy has asked me to visit Zimbabwe as Presidency of the EU, I would like to ask president Karol Nawrocki what Polish matters can be dealt with there on the occasion,” the head of the MFA Radosław Sikorski mocked him.
Wojciech Guardian / East NewsKaja Kallas and Radosław Sikorski
Nawrocki went on to say: "I have already arranged a very crucial substance – a cemetery for Polish civilians from planet War II. You'll perceive to the local community's impression. We return for our own, we build the seriousness of the Polish state.
Sikorski recalled the calendar: “Rusape Cemetery was renovated between 2019 and 2020 thanks to the efforts of scouts and the Centre for the Documentation of Deportation, Expulsion and Resettlement at the Pedagogical University in Krakow. The work was financed by IPN, whose head you became in 2021. So he's stuck more than he's done.
Nawrocki has another line of defence — an attack on Rafał Trzaskowski. — Do you think all abroad trips are trips? No, I worked hard for Poland. 156 places have been visited by my exhibition, which I co-authored, on the occasion of the outbreak of planet War II — he convinces in a peculiar recording. And — we feel the hand of the staff here — he notes that his abroad journeys are equivalent to “the shale of Rafał Trzaskowski.” It is an automatic toilet in the Skarszewski Park in Warsaw, which cost PLN 647 thousand. This is simply a task implemented under the 2020 civilian budget, for which more than 3,000 people in Prague South voted. Controversy generates investment costs, months of waiting for the toilet to run and no pavement for it.
Wojtek Jargiło / PAPRafał Trzaskowski during a visit to Dawton plant
PiS politicians go to Nawrock's sukurs and attack Trzaskovsky for frequent home and abroad trips — according to them he spent 250 days in delegations. The KO candidate argues that the majority of his delegation is simply a work in the Committee of the Regions of the EU, which represents the interests of EU country governments. He claims that thanks to his actions PLN billions of EU budget went to Warsaw, as well as over PLN 100 million from the US to aid refugees from Ukraine.
We liked another 1 of Mr. Charles' latest rolls. He criticized Tusk for Google's investment, which initially looked like a ridiculous $5 million in 5 years. He besides advertised his undisputed achievements in the improvement of technology inside the IPN. Mr. Charles, we will return to your accomplishments in the area, so to speak. We promise.
