Morawiecki:

What has been achieved in the last 8 years can be lost in a single day, and that day is very soon. It's October 15th.

If economic crises occur, it is always worth considering how the state behaves in such times. Well, a dozen or so years ago, there was such a crisis, and the state did nothing, or almost nothing, to help entrepreneurs who were then in trouble. In the last few years, various thunderbolts have struck us. First, COVID, then the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, and each time we tried to offer entrepreneurs support through the anti-COVID shield, which involved saving jobs, because everything stopped for a moment across Europe and around the world, but later solidarity-based, anti-inflationary, or anti-Putin measures. We are always with entrepreneurs - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Bytom. - We are here in a bakery, and a sad reflection came to me when recently a certain gentleman kissed bread, and then this bread ended up in the trash. This gentleman is our main political competitor. I mention this because when someone kisses bread for show, and then this bread ends up in the trash, it reminds me of an old Polish proverb: he who despises bread, God will despise him even more - he continued. - We will certainly take care of all entrepreneurs, and we will create such conditions for doing business so that the competitive advantage of large buyers is not so crushing. That is why the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection exists, precisely to take care of Polish entrepreneurs, and to ensure that large international chains, which already have a financial advantage, do not stifle the margins for Polish entrepreneurs. That's what the Polish shelf is for, shortening the path from field to table, but also the Polish entrepreneur must have Polish authorities behind them in the fight against large chains - he added. - What has been achieved in the last 8 years can be lost in a single day, and that day is very soon. It's October 15th. It is worth taking care of Polish entrepreneurs, taking care of what has been done for society and all social policy, but also taking care of security in the context of what is happening in the Middle East - emphasized PMM.
