- There's a problem, because this means that the hourly rate, that the minimum wage – a wage received by over three million workers in Poland – will fall in real terms. Because we have projected inflation at a higher level than the increase in the minimum wage, and economic growth at a higher level than the increase in the minimum wage - said Adrian Zandberg in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti", when asked about the increase in the minimum wage to PLN 4806 gross and the hourly rate to PLN 31.40.

- To put it graphically: the government decided that three million workers earning the minimum wage will be poorer a year from now than they are today - he continued.

- I am very surprised at the politicians in this government, and especially at Minister Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk, that she agreed to this, because the truth is that Minister Dziemianowicz-Bąk agreed for three million workers in Poland to have a lower wage a year from now than they do today - he went on.
