FOR: Plan Mateusz Morawiecki pierces the first five-year plan Gierek – Polish Radio


                             The question is what the consequences for local governments entail “plan Morawiecki”. Deputy Prime Minister promises more sustainable development of the country. The government must be aware that without the local authorities of the plan to achieve the impossible – says Janusz Kobeszko.
                         

The roadmap presented by Deputy Matthew Morawiecki and adopted by the government on February 16 will undoubtedly result in consequences for local governments, what is more – only with the support of the local authorities can go:

– why some concern is the fact that for local governments too much in it does not mention is probably the biggest minus of this program, because generally it is promising, and raises high hopes on 60 pages of a document can also find a lot of specifics – says economist Janusz Kobeszko expert Forum Off-new.

According to Kobeszki government must be aware that without the local authorities of the plan to realize you can not.

– We have a good example of the “Programme 500 plus “, so really its success depends on governments if they fail, then the plan will fall, and the challenges and responsibilities that fell on the local authorities, are huge, the number of petitioners in small municipalities in connection with the” 500 plus “will increase up to ten times – says economist.

appearing in the plan Morawiecki promise the implementation of sustainable development, however, the most problem with local governments and local Polish.

There is indeed a novelty, because Law and Justice, and earlier and Andrzej Duda, promised in election campaigns to strengthen the Polish local, which they believe was the last few years in the shadow of big cities.

– No small cities and towns in Poland will roll in. We are behind this, to support Polish entrepreneurs, Polish industry, small family businesses. It is today the salt of the earth such a small town, local municipalities – said Beta Szydło while in Plock.

The question is whether such putting the matter is not at odds with the rapid development announced by Morawiecki, most experts asserts that only metropolises can be engines of growth that entail smaller centers and cause GDP growth.

– the idea that a big metropolises pull development is dominant and so is probably in the economic context – says Kobeszko, but adds: – but do not forget about these “contexts soft” type of social development, tourism and cultural heritage, it is also social development.

He says an economist, you have to assume that Morawiecki adopted a fairly broad definition of development, which assumes that development is not just GDP.

Plan Morawiecki: a good direction, but everything depends on the specific solutions

– Besides this program, the Prime Minister also mentions the GNP (Gross National product), and this is, however, a difference, GNP is otherwise counted and includes just more non-economic factors – explains Janusz Kobeszko.

as an example of how to enable local development in a great investment, economist gives road construction.

– We now have the idea of ​​building the Via Carpatia, and if at its design think just about small towns, this investment may facilitate their development – says Kobeszko.

So far, often building a highway, forgotten small towns lying along the new roads.

– We have an example A2 in Wielkopolska, where construction of the motorway without exits to small towns has caused even the withdrawal of some centers and closing their opportunities – emphasizes the expert forum Off-new.
