- Imagine a local community, a local government, that in a flood has lost a newly renovated school, a bridge has been destroyed by water, the sewage treatment plant is not working, and local firefighters have lost their equipment. Meanwhile, the police, for example, have a flooded station. What is the government offering them? A loan - says Mateusz Morawiecki in a clip published on social media.

- Yes, you heard correctly. Instead of real help and immediate money for reconstruction, they are being offered credit. How is a community that has lost so much supposed to think about repaying further debts, about loan applications? This is madness. 100 million PLN at 2.5% interest is a drop in the ocean of needs. The government exists precisely to protect citizens, to help them in times of crisis, and the government is there to manage that help effectively - emphasized the former prime minister.

As Morawiecki pointed out: - A special edition of the Government Strategic Investment Fund must be launched immediately. Yes, that fund, which we implemented many times. Several billion zlotys need to be allocated from the budget, and if necessary, a special fund for combating the effects of floods should be established. Just as I did during the COVID pandemic.
