Zandberg:

In the Polish System, It Doesn't Matter if the President Signs the Budget

Tomasz Synowiec

- In Poland, within the Polish legal system, it makes no difference whether the [president's] signature is there or not, because for the practical functioning of healthcare in Poland, for science in Poland, for wage levels in the budget sector, it will not mean any change. What we need today is to amend this budget, and that is something we should address as quickly as possible in parliament. I'm saying this because just a few days ago, the Minister of Health admitted, openly admitted in the media, that what the Razem Party warned about a year ago is proving to be true: that in her budget, in the budget for maintaining public healthcare, in the budget for hospitals and clinics, there is a shortfall of literally 23 billion złoty - said Adrian Zandberg on Polsat News's "Polityczne Graffiti".
