Tusk Speaks During Government Session:
Today Everyone in Poland Reads This Acronym as ‘The Whole PiS is Stealing’
- I wanted to address the CPK scandal, because that's what everyone is rightfully calling it right now. As you may remember, and this is not the only case of its kind, PiS, after losing the election, together with President Duda, appointed Mr. Morawiecki's government for a 2-week period, with old, somewhat new ministers. Even then, everyone suspected that the intention was to finalize or complete certain deals. The CPK scandal is a particularly unpleasant confirmation of this. This plot of land, 160 hectares, intended for a future airport and communication hub, was sold to a private lessee by the PiS government precisely during the period between the lost election and the handover of power on December 13 - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a government session.
- The lessee had been trying to purchase the plot for years. There were various objective reasons, not solely related to CPK, why this was not possible and they were refused. On October 19, 2023, the Minister of Agriculture in the PiS government gave his consent. The key formalities, 6 documents in various offices, and the notarial deed were completed within 24 hours, between November 30 and December 1. This must be particularly impressive to Polish farmers who are trying to buy land or make land exchanges. You know how long that takes. 24 hours, 6 documents, a notarial deed, and the sale of 160 hectares. The government's plenipotentiary for CPK, Mr. Horała, received a letter on November 24 from the then-CEO of CPK stating that a scandal was unfolding. He did not react. Perhaps because so many people from PiS were involved in this process - he continued.
- Strange things happened during those two weeks. We all remember with what extraordinary energy the leading PiS politicians, with then-President Duda at the forefront, shouted “Yes to CPK, yes to CPK”. How much energy and effort they put into it, and at the same time, behind the scenes, how much work they put into completing a complex operation with multiple documents in 24 hours - the Prime Minister emphasized.
- I am not surprised that today this acronym CPK, I will never use it again to describe this large communication investment, the airport, the railway. I will never use this acronym again, because today everyone in Poland reads this acronym as ‘Cały PiS kradnie’ (The Whole PiS is Stealing). CPK means exactly that - the whole PiS is stealing - Tusk added.
