– A 30% increase in energy prices, a 30% increase in gas prices. The number of short-term loans taken out has increased by 50%. All of this is the result of the inept government of the 13th of December coalition. The inept government from last year, and we are entering a new year – said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

The party's politicians, referring to the conference's theme, which was "Tusk's Year of High Prices," used a refrigerator as a prop.

As Beata Szydło stated: – This is the average refrigerator of an average Pole, an average Polish family. Here are products that are used daily […]. Eggs, butter, chicken fillets, tomatoes, milk, and yellow cheese. In recent weeks, the prices of these products have been increasing very dynamically.

– I think more and more Poles are smiling less and less. And they are certainly smiling less and less at the supermarket checkout – she stated.

“Just a Year into Their Rule, the Situation is Repeating Itself”
– It's hard to realize or think that this perspective from 10 years ago is returning to us so quickly. We remember perfectly well, back then too, in 2015, the beginning of the year was the start of an election campaign. When we went to meetings, we met people who primarily told us how much they feared for their future. There were no jobs, high living costs, people had to make dramatic choices: whether to pay the bills or buy prescriptions – she continued.

– 10 years have passed, I think everyone among us thought that time would never return. […] Just a year into their rule, this situation is repeating itself – she added.
