As we wrote on Temat.pl, after the publication of the map on the KPO website a storm broke out. According to the data, any entrepreneurs have spent subsidies on yachts, saunas, virtual shooting ranges, mobile coffee machines, ice cream machines and even cabins on water.
He bought 2 yachts with money from KPO. That's how it is now.
One of the entrepreneurs bought the 2 yachts already mentioned. This is about Grzegorz Urbaniak, who runs a restaurant together with her spouse at Piotrkowska Street in Łódź. He talked about this decision with Money.pl portal.
– We didn't get that money for vacation, we got the second leg of our business. My wife and I are moving a restaurant that was long closed during the coronavirus pandemic," he said.
Urbaniak pointed out that the intent of the grant from the KPO was to make the catering manufacture on the occasion of another possible pandemic and closing the premises, "did not should be maintained by the state".
Tusk spoke on the KPO scandal
– We bought 2 yachts that were produced in Eel. They've been swimming in the Mazury since May and making money. We have fiscal money, we pay VAT, we pay all the fees. This money stays in Poland and drives the economy – explained the entrepreneur in an interview with Money.pl.
Importantly, the HoReCa manufacture is an acronym derived from English words: hotel, restaurant, catering. This word refers to the hotel-gastronomic industry, which includes hotels, restaurants, cafes, catering companies and suppliers and producers associated with this sector.
Let us add that Prime Minister Donald Tusk referred to the storm around KPO on Friday morning during a press conference in Łeba. “I will not accept any waste of funds from the National Recovery Plan,” he said.
The head of government reported that he spoke on the telephone about the case with the Minister of Funds and Regional Policy Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz. I found out about possible irregularities, sloppyness, or stupidly distributed drugs. The Ministry has known about this for any time, the audit is carried out in the Polish Agency for Enterprise improvement – he said.
I'm not certain that explanation's adequate for now. I'm going to want this check as shortly as possible to make a sound evaluation of all gold spent. Where this expenditure was not justified, I will anticipate a fast decision, including the withdrawal of funds. Zero tolerance for this practice," said Donald Tusk.
And he added: "If he shows that experts have decided to allocate funds and that the conclusions were not justified, he will be verified. I'll take care of it myself.
