– People are surprised how it's possible [that in next year's budget there is more money for the IPN, Supreme Court, or Chancellery of the President], how on earth Tusk or Domański want to finance to a greater extent, we are saving on ourselves, as much as we can cut, and yet we are giving more to President Duda or the IPN. Without going into details, there is a certain category of institutions, including the Chancellery of the President or the IPN, for which the government does not project the budget. They send the information themselves about what their budget should be, and the government can only do is to put part of it into the budget that will go to the Sejm – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.

– It is only in the Sejm that the MPs can decide that these so-called sacred cows, in the language of financiers and politicians, these institutions that project their own budgets, are called sacred cows because we cannot interfere with their budgets. They will be subjected to a critical assessment during the parliamentary debate, and of course, we will move to ensure that proportionally, just as we are trying to save on government institutions, we will try to convince MPs from all parties that significantly less money will go to the Chancellery of the President and the IPN, let alone to those institutions whose existence is formally questionable and whose operation is even more questionable – he continued.
