In 1997, the left, through Cimoszewicz, said you should have been insured. Komorowski said water gathers and flows to the Baltic. These are phrases foreign to us.

"I remember the flood of 1997. I remember Racibórz, Opole, Kłodzko, Wrocław then. I saw these human dramas, when people lost their health, lives, all their property. I saw people in Kłodzko who had lost their loved ones. It was truly the flood of the century, a great flood that caused immense drama in many parts of our country. The then-ruling left, through Prime Minister Cimoszewicz, told people: 'You should have been insured.' Similarly, President Komorowski from Civic Platform said a few years ago that water has a tendency to gather, and then flow into other rivers, and then into the Baltic Sea. These are phrases that are foreign to us. We got down to serious work in 2016, 2017, and 2018 and allocated enormous funds for the construction of this reservoir here, near Racibórz. Thanks to this reservoir, which I believe will make everyone realize its importance, we could have saved Wrocław, Opole, Kędzierzyn, the entire Opole region, and Lower Silesia from a flood like the one in 1997" - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Racibórz.
