Marcelina Zawisza from the Together Party wrote that the New Left opposed discussing the agreement to increase the hourly minimum wage by 90 groszy, despite rising costs of electricity, gas, water, and rent. She also pointed out that salaries in the public sector were supposed to increase by 3 percent, while inflation was at 4 percent, which — as she assessed — could mean a real decrease in wages next year. Zawisza added that voters from different parties had asked her about further increases in fees this year, while the minimum wage had increased, as she wrote, only by 90 groszy. She claimed that public officials earning 10 thousand zł net felt the rise in costs less than other citizens. She accused the New Left, the Civic Coalition, PSL, and Poland 2050 of not wanting this topic to be discussed. #Polska #Gospodarka #Wybory (translated)

Patryk Spaliński compared social reactions in France, Spain, and Poland. He wrote that in France, high school students initiated riots due to overcrowded classes and the introduction of a yearly fee of 180 euros for post-secondary studies, which paralyzed the whole country. According to him, in Madrid, about 500,000 people took to the streets due to the eviction of a 70-year-old woman. Spaliński wrote that in Poland, after the revelation of what he claimed was the theft of several dozen million zlotys from the KPO, which were supposed to go towards yachts and solariums in kebab shops, million-zloty salaries for doctors, billions for developers from public funds, and a sharp rise in rents, people forgot about the matter after a week. He concluded his post by stating that he had no words. #protesty #sytuacjawkraju #sprawyspołeczne (translated)

The author of the entry accused Przydacz of first claiming that he could not personally check fuel prices at Orlen stations abroad, and then, an hour later, providing historical and current barrel oil prices converted to zlotys. He suggested that internet access during the G20 summit allowed him to obtain this data. The author assessed that Przydacz focused on oil prices, although—he wrote—fuel prices are also influenced by refinery product prices, the dollar exchange rate, margins, logistics, supply, as well as taxes and fees. He pointed out that the government lowered VAT on fuels from 23% to 8%, and the excise duty by 29 gr per liter of gasoline and 28 gr per liter of diesel. According to the entry, this was supposed to reduce the price by about 1.2–1.3 zlotys per liter; he added that Wojcik calculated this well. The author questioned referring to Donald Tusk's statements from 2022 and the price of 5.19 zlotys. He believed that the entire market conditions of 2022 and 2026 should have been compared, not just barrel oil prices. He also accused Przydacz of prioritizing stirring emotions, manipulating public opinion, and dividing society over providing accurate information. #Polska #paliwo #G20 (translated)

He also wrote that the first ETS led to significant increases in energy prices, and ETS2 starting in 2028 will raise fees. https://t.co/mPsSvge3Am #Polska #ETS #śmieci #PL #EU (translated)
