Trzaskowski on 500+: Some of us criticized this program, but it is justified. It was a good move, a good decision, but unfortunately, it was not accompanied by a strengthening of the state. Which is what our competitors promised

- Our political competitors made a good diagnosis: that no one should be left behind. That everyone deserves respect. That the weaker must be helped, that everyone must have a stake in our common success. It was a good diagnosis, and credit must be given for that. What was the prescription? The prescription was 500+. Some of us criticized this program, but this program is justified. It allowed people to find their footing in the new reality. It must be acknowledged, it is an absolutely inalienable pillar of our social policy, and it was a good move, a good decision, but unfortunately, it was not accompanied by a strengthening of the state. Which is, after all, what our competitors promised. Our state, our beloved homeland, has simply been dramatically weakened, which is evident precisely in these times of epidemic. Where rational decisions are not being made. Where, unfortunately, the state is weak, where attempts are being made to organize undemocratic elections, violating what is sacred: the authority of the Republic of Poland. And this must not be allowed – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Poznań.
