– We have a phenomenon that is simply called high prices. High prices that apply to a great many goods, including essential items, such as the butter that is famous in Poland today, because it's already over 10 PLN, and apparently, you can even find blocks of supposedly better butter, but the price is already approaching 20 PLN – Jarosław Kaczyński said at a press conference.

– This also applies to dairy products, eggs, meat, certain types of fruits, etc. We are dealing with something that hits the wallets of a very large portion of Poles. It's not significant for the wealthiest segment of society, because the share of these kinds of expenses, food expenses, is very small for this group. High incomes ensure that food can be obtained for a few percent of these incomes – he continued.

– For those who are doing a bit worse, but not necessarily very badly, it is indeed a significant matter, very significant, and currently, this phenomenon is intensifying, and one can assume that this year will be a year of high prices. […] It's not the case that this could not have been prevented in any way. It could have been, the shield could have been maintained, VAT could have been maintained, and various other actions could have been taken – he went on to say.
