Żurek on KPO and Irregularities:

I Wish This Whole Storm in a Teacup Wouldn't Hit Entrepreneurs.

- We all know that after the pandemic, Polish entrepreneurs were simply yearning for EU funds like a thirsty man for rain, funds that would save businesses, businesses that, in turn, are taxed and support the Polish taxpayer, meaning all of us. So, we must approach this with caution, and I wish this whole storm in a teacup that is happening now wouldn't hit Polish entrepreneurs - said Waldemar Żurek at a press conference at the Świnoujście-Garz border crossing. - Let's look at the scale, let's seek out irregularities, let's punish those who are responsible, but the Polish entrepreneur knows how to utilize previous EU funds, including from the KPO program, and let's truly allow them to continue doing so, because we are in a common Europe and we see how Poland has changed thanks to EU funds; without them, we would be at the level of Belarus - he continued.
