According to data provided by the Do Rzeczy news portal, most Poles believe that their lives were easier under the rule of Law and Justice (PiS).
The survey conducted by the Pollster Institute on behalf of “Super Express” shows that 38% of respondents claim that they lived better under the rule of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. In turn, 33% of survey participants believe that the economic situation remains at a similar level to that under the current government of Donald Tusk. Only 18% of respondents admitted that their lives are better today than under the former PiS government.
Krzysztof Brejza, MEP of the Civic Coalition (KO), commented on the survey on the “Graffiti” program on Polsat News. “I know what people said about inflation and what they felt in their wallets when inflation under PiS was astronomical and devoured wages,” he said.
Touting Poland’s historically low unemployment and positive economic forecasts compared to other countries in Europe, Brejza added, “I am sure that Poles will feel it. It will take a few months for this to happen.”
Regarding the upcoming presidential campaign of Rafał Trzaskowski, Brejza said that the KO candidate’s rallies enjoy high attendance and enthusiasm from citizens.
“People see in Rafał Trzaskowski, in times of geopolitical unrest (…) as a decent man who can be trusted, who does not lie about apartments, has competence, experience and is not a rabbit pulled out of a hat on Nowogrodzka Street,“ he said.
The conversation also touched on Google’s investment plans, which were announced during a joint press conference with Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The company declared that it would allocate $5 million for training in digital tools.
Brejza emphasized that this amount is only a fragment of a larger strategy.
“This is a small element of the entire project. Let’s wait. Minister Domański also very clearly indicated that if someone thinks that this is about training for $5 million, they are deeply mistaken. We are talking about a much larger project that is to allow for increasing the innovativeness of the Polish economy, increasing GDP by even 8 percent. This will be a billion-dollar project, not a million-dollar one,” he explained.
