– People are going to shops, greengrocers, and increasingly I hear at meetings that they are experiencing price shock, that they can't believe that the basket is half-empty, and prices are skyrocketing, that they are sometimes paying twice as much, as they tell me at meetings, as they did just a year or two ago. And indeed, a significant problem that is knocking, hammering at the doors of Polish homes is the high cost of living. We want to raise the alarm because the government employs all sorts of statistical tricks. They didn't like the statistics, so they led to a change in the leadership of the Central Statistical Office (GUS), and this new leadership proposed a new price basket, and in the new basket, they announced that there are no longer such price increases – stated Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference.

– The increases are around 30%. 30% year-on-year, and they show 5, 6%. There is really a major deception being prepared here. These will be the most expensive Easter holidays in history. The nominal level, the absolute price level is the highest. Some items have increased by 40%, 60% year-on-year, and people see this, they are devastated – he continued.

– What is the government doing, candidate Trzaskowski, the deputy of the current prime minister? He's burying his head in the sand, not noticing this problem. I think the current prime minister has either taken too much of some medication, like candidate from Civic Platform, Mr. Trzaskowski, probably takes, or something has gotten mixed up with him, because the high cost of living, people are experiencing drama, and he had a duck brought to the residence on Parkowa Street to stage a photo. Where is the prime minister who cares about people? – the PiS politician emphasized.
