The Business PRECOP conference in Katowice gathered representatives from the government, business, and climate organizations, who discussed changes in Poland's energy mix, the need for active action in the face of rising energy prices, and the upcoming global climate negotiations. (translated)

What harm is there in promising?! In the 2024 election campaign, Aleksander Miszalski promised a yearly ticket for public transport for students at a price of 365 PLN. In December 2025, a law was passed where the price of that ticket was 470 PLN. In the justification, the president explained that Kraków already subsidizes nearly 65 percent of the costs of operating public transport, and with rising costs of energy, fuel, and salaries, it is necessary to adjust the rates to maintain the quality of transport services at the current level. On November 28, 2025, city councilor Michał Ciechowski submitted an amendment to the law to help fulfill the president’s promise of the ticket for 365 PLN. It was rejected by the Kraków City Council, where the majority belongs to KO/Left. In 2026, Monika Piątkowska announces that the proposal will be implemented! The money has been found! Campaigns perform miracles! (translated)

Mr. Czarnek, since we are already making this a bill for the government's policy, let's check the entire bill, not just the politically convenient items. Is inflation rising? Yes, but from the fact that fuel prices drive up CPI, it does not automatically follow that the increase in fuel prices is a result of the Polish government's decisions. 🤦‍♂️ That is simply a mistake in your reasoning or a deliberate manipulation of public opinion, because the effect of fuel prices on inflation does not determine the cause of fuel prices themselves. 🤷‍♂️ The Central Statistical Office indeed indicated transport, especially fuel, as a significant factor in price growth. I read that too, but it did not state anywhere: that is Donald Tusk's responsibility. You keep reminding us of Mr. Tusk's words, that he promised 5.19 zł. Yes. In June 2022. However, if statements from several years ago are to be an indefinite guarantee of fuel prices regardless of oil prices, war, sanctions, the dollar exchange rate, and the situation on the world market, then I propose to apply this method consistently. 🤷‍♂️ In 2011, Jarosław Kaczyński said: "The excise tax can simply be lowered. If it is lowered, the price of gasoline will also fall." At that time, the price of Pb95 was around 5.14 zł. Ten years later, already under the PiS government, the same Jarosław Kaczyński explained that the excise tax should not be lowered because it limits the state's revenue. 🤦‍♂️ So I understand that old declarations are valid forever, but only for politicians from the opposing camp? 🙂 Later you again claim that high fuel prices are the government's policy. No, Mr. Czarnek. The government influences taxes, some regulations, and support instruments - and that's all. However, it does not determine the world price of oil, does not control the supply of fuel, the dollar exchange rate, or the geopolitical situation. 🤷‍♂️ And since we are so eager to find politicians responsible for the current tensions in the energy market, it might be worth taking a look at Donald ... but Trump, your idol, and his policy towards Iran. Only then does your narrative become a bit less convenient. You claim that more expensive fuel means more expensive transport, production, and pressure on prices. Yes. That is actually true. But again - describing the effects of expensive fuel does not prove that the cause of expensive fuel is Tusk. Professor, you can really criticize the government; there are plenty of such issues or decisions. But maybe without equating: fuel is getting more expensive -> inflation is rising -> therefore Tusk is to blame. 🤦‍♂️ It is really becoming very irritating. (translated)

The most famous saboteur of Poland has again blocked the government's decision. This time he negatively reviewed Colonel Tomasz Jackowicz's candidacy for the position of Commander of the State Protection Service. Why? Because he is not from the tri-city pimp mafia or from the organized criminal group PiS? He did not approve the expiration of the composition of the National Council of Radio Broadcasting and Television, despite the report not being accepted by the Sejm, because it is a completely political body appointed by the criminal PiS. In the court case of Nawrocki against Onet, the judge did not allow one of the heads of pimps in the Tri-City to testify, but allowed those who have nothing to do with pimping to do so. The lady judge knows who her career depends on and can summon a million witnesses who will testify that they did not see Nawrocki as a pimp, as long as they are not those who ran this operation. This is called explaining to explain nothing and to ingratiate oneself with the viceroy. We are waiting for Nawrocki's decision on fuel prices and he will probably veto it too because he will be able to say in a year that the government is doing nothing and has not done anything for the Poles, but he will not say that he vetoed and blocked everything important for the Poles. In return, he proposes lowering prices by giving up state revenues, so he can again howl that the deficit is getting bigger. A crafty enemy of Poland. Meanwhile, 143,000 older people may not live to see Nawrocki sign the applications for state decorations for long-lasting marriage (50 years). They are waiting, Nawrocki has no time, he is so intensely pursuing a politics of love through incitement. The shameless and unpunished viceroy against Poland continues to block the Constitutional Tribunal, the appointment of ambassadors, judges, professors, blocked Poland's security, applied a pardon to a criminal football hooligan... He blocked the control of zondacrypto because they paid for him. But he also vetoed hate on the internet, the development of green energy, the repair of the constitutional legal system, any change in important state positions, and many more. Please, can someone point out at least one thing, one success for the Poles in his decisions? One issue that he resolved not for himself, not for blocking the government and supporting the opposition PiS and Konfa, not for Russia, but for the Poles. Good morning in a hooligan, criminal country of immunities and corrupt far-right. Adam Mazguła (translated)

Mrs. @alenaschillerov, when you say that the credibility of others ends with financial interests, let's start with ANO in Brno. Stoka: Former Deputy Mayor of Brno-Center for ANO Jiří Švachula reached a plea deal. For corruption in public contracts and participation in an organized crime group, he received a final sentence of seven years and eight months in prison and forfeiture of part of his assets. According to prosecutors, the manipulations concerned contracts worth over 260 million crowns. Another ANO politician in Stoka: Petr Liškutin, former head of the investment department of Brno-Center and Deputy Mayor of Brno-Ivanovice for ANO, also reached a plea deal. The court imposed a suspended sentence and a payment of 1.7 million crowns. Brno Coalition: You yourself labeled cooperation with ODS as a reputational risk and urged ANO councilors to leave. Nevertheless, ten out of thirteen remained in the coalition. ANO expelled them in December 2025. So when you talk about people whom you believe prioritize positions, remember your own Brno councilors as well. And your own management: The Ministry of Finance under your leadership paid a photographer and cameraman 1.93 million crowns; a subsequent internal audit examined their work for your social networks. As a deputy, you also utilized a service apartment in the center of Prague for 4,952 crowns a month, including utilities. Let's talk about credibility. But with the same standard for everyone, including ANO and Brno. (translated)

Dear Sir/Madam, It seems that we have very cheap electricity! After all, it's just a few zlotys more per year... I wonder why businesses in Poland complain about energy prices... (translated)

You may have heard of Klára Sovová in the past as the owner of Labská and Luční Boudy in the Krkonošsko region. An owner who sometimes completely disregards the fact that she bought properties right in a national park and isn’t exactly happy when someone interferes with how many cars are allowed to pass through the park or how carefully she should carry out construction work. However, you can also know her from the electoral billboards of the Motorists, where she announces her candidacy for the mayor of Prague next to Macinka, claiming that she has the courage to go against the grain. The story of Klára Sovová would be worth making a movie about how that twilight zone between privatization, business, offshores, and politics has worked in the Czech Republic since the revolution. Sovová was a part of all these areas in one person. But she is a person with enormous energy, so she managed to publish a porn magazine, occasionally throw some millions to a political party, and at the same time claim that entrepreneurs do not engage in altruistic activities. Kristina and I have been working on this story for the past few weeks and discussed it with many people who have known Sovová since her time at the National Property Fund. Interestingly, the vast majority of those approached did not want to speak. The best description of her and her surroundings is the sentence she replied with when asked how she came to the building of the Prague police headquarters, from which she received over 100 million crowns in rent from the police: "That is our secret, it’s not for the newspapers. I protect my know-how with that." However, I think we have managed to get at least a little glimpse into that know-how in the last few weeks, and now you can read about it. You'll find it in the next post.👇 (translated)

Polska planuje zainwestować około biliona złotych w energetykę w ciągu najbliższych dziesięciu lat, aby zwiększyć bezpieczeństwo energetyczne, rozwój odnawialnych źródeł energii oraz obniżyć ceny prądu. #TransformacjaEnergetyczna #OdnawialneŹródłaEnergii #BezpieczeństwoEnergetyczne

Nawrocki otworzył w Kancelarii Biuro Energii, Rozwoju Infrastrukturalnego i Projektów Strategicznych. Nazwa jest tak napompowana, że człowiek przez chwilę może pomyśleć, że właśnie powstało nowe ministerstwo. Brakuje tylko ministra, limuzyn z kogutem i komunikatu, że Pałac właśnie przejmuje zarządzanie państwem. Problem w tym, że prezydent nie rządzi energetyką, nie buduje infrastruktury i nie prowadzi spółek Skarbu Państwa. Od tego jest rząd. Ale skoro nie można być premierem, można przecież urządzić sobie pałacową imitację ministerstwa. Na czele tego cudownego wynalazku staje Marzena Małek, minister aktywów w rządzie Morawieckiego przez całe 16 dni. Szesnaście. Wystarczyło, żeby ministerialny epizod wpisać do CV, a teraz dostać kolejne stanowisko. Władza PiS się skończyła, ale najwyraźniej system kadrowej recyklingowej gospodarki działa bez zarzutu. Jedni odpadają przy wyborach, inni po prostu przechodzą przez kolejne drzwi. Byle państwowe, byle z nazwą brzmiącą dostojnie i najlepiej z pensją wypłacaną z budżetu. I właśnie tu robi się naprawdę groteskowo. Rząd ma ministerstwa, urzędy, departamenty i ludzi odpowiedzialnych za konkretne zadania. Pałac tworzy własne struktury, które mają wyglądać na równie ważne, choć nie mają takich kompetencji. To nie jest żadna alternatywna polityka gospodarcza. To budowanie równoległego zaplecza, żeby można było udawać, że z Pałacu również zarządza się państwem. Im mniej realnych kompetencji, tym więcej tabliczek na drzwiach. Im mniej decyzji, tym bardziej pompatyczne nazwy. A za tę pałacową zabawę płacą podatnicy. Dlatego finansowanie Kancelarii powinno być rozliczane z wyjątkową dokładnością. Publiczne pieniądze nie są od tego, żeby tworzyć kolejne biura dublujące zadania rządu i zapewniać nowe stanowiska ludziom związanym z przegraną ekipą. Państwo potrzebuje instytucji, które wykonują swoją robotę, a nie kolejnych gabinetów udających ministerstwa. Jeśli Nawrocki chce mieć swoje małe imperium, niech przynajmniej nie udaje, że rachunek za jego budowę nie trafi do obywateli. Piotrek K. #Polityka #Rząd #FinansePubliczne
