He assured of reserves in the program, which arise that the new system will absorb the current child benefits, which in 2013. spent 2.3 billion zł. “It may be a margin of reserve, the safety of the possible increase impoverishment of families in Poland” – said the deputy PiS.

In turn, on Tuesday Mucha referring to the speeches of representatives of the Law and Justice said that “today finally learned that the program 500 zł for a child is de facto 500 zł for every other child.” She added that he hopes that “in the coming days other data “demonstrate the unreliability of the PiS program.

” For some reason, Law and Justice does not want to present their estimates and only questions that we make it clearly relate to the costs and revenues that they represent in their program, “- said Mucha.

She set also questions about the source of funding further demands PiS. “How much will it cost reforms that the state does not wyceniliście in the last days? How much will it cost increase in health care spending to 6 percent. GDP? How much will it cost increase defense spending to 2.5 per cent. GDP?” – Called on the politicians PiS PO spokeswoman staff.

She asked also about the cost of other proposals PO: housing program for rent, free kindergarten program, “maintain all of unprofitable mines”, “reconstruction unprofitable shipyards,” re-industrialization program, repolonizacji banks, conversion of loans frankowych at the rate of borrowing, doubling spending on education, the reduction of corporate income tax for the smallest businesses and VAT to 22 percent.

On the other hand, three activists of the youth PO, Young Democrats, wanted Tuesday afternoon to hand Awl Wood abacus to – I said – “once again able to count how much they will cost its promises, so as not to lead to the bankruptcy of the Polish state.” Young politicians waited for the vice-president of PiS front of the room where the chair. 16 began with a meeting of the parliamentary public finance committee, which Awl is its Vice-President. When they failed to meet Szydło, MD activists carried abacus to a few rooms located next club PiS boss’s office Mariusz Blaszczak.
