- We have submitted amendments to the government bill. In our firm conviction, the government bill does not offer real assistance to flood victims. This is because the financial aspect of this aid is symbolic. One could even use the word 'mockery' if the government proposes to allocate up to 200,000 Polish zlotys for rebuilding a house. I ask: have they become so detached from reality that they don't know it's impossible to rebuild a house for 200,000 zlotys, or are they joking with those affected by the flood? - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference. - We have submitted amendments to the government bill which include the provisions that were rejected in the Law and Justice party's project, so that the reconstruction of houses and apartments would be financed up to 100% from the state budget – naturally, after the costs have been determined by an expert. We have also included [...] a provision stating that the non-repayable, immediate allowance should be three times the average wage, which is over 24,000 zlotys, so that it becomes a permanent mechanism, a statutory provision - he continued. "We are pointing to the source from which these funds should be redirected" - We are indicating where the costs associated with reconstruction and the aid that flood victims deserve can be covered from. Specifically, from the three billion zlotys that Donald Tusk's government allocated for propaganda to neoTVP, which, incidentally, is neoTVP in liquidation. We are pointing to the source from which these funds should be redirected to assist flood victims - he further stated.
