The author wrote that it was necessary to clarify the influence on the elections in Poland in 2023, instead of dealing with rumors. He mentioned in this context the promotion of Tusk and his entourage, money from Brussels and USAID, and Germany. https://t.co/hzMuTwuHuE #Polska2023 #wybory #Tusk #PL #US #DE (translated)

Karol Michalak wrote that the takeover of power in Wisła Kraków by the fans and their use of equipment was considered an extreme pathology. He stated that if organized crime groups had any influence on Legia Warsaw, and the PZPN, Ekstraklasa, and Canal Plus did not react decisively, it would be a scandal of enormous proportions. He left the readers to assess whether such influence existed. #kibole #WisłaKraków #LegiaWarszawa (translated)

The author wrote that the elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina have strengthened nationalist groups and the position of pro-Russian Milorad Dodik, who is formally barred from holding public office. He also pointed to deep ethnic divisions and increasing Russian influence as factors hindering the country's path to the EU. #Bośnia #wybory #polityka #BA #RU #EU (translated)

The author of the entry, citing Eurostat, stated that in Poland 35 percent of respondents declared abstinence, while 0.5 percent of those surveyed indicated daily alcohol consumption. He added that revenues from the alcohol tax amounted to 3.9 billion PLN by the end of June, compared to 4.5 billion PLN the previous year, and the plan was fulfilled by 31 percent. #Polska #alkohol #abstynencja #PL (translated)

FinancialMind wrote that while the discussion about the record deficit was ongoing, in his opinion, too little attention was paid to the impact of demographic changes on the budget. He pointed out the possible decline in tax revenues and the increase in expenditures on pensions and healthcare, describing it as a double burden. #demografia #budżet #deficyt (translated)

Dr. Coolfonpl stated that budget revenues from VAT amounted to 321.6 billion PLN in 2025, and the receipts after deducting refunds from Ukrainian companies were around 1 billion PLN, or about 3.3 per mil. He wrote that Ukrainian "VAT mafias" were doing well, and the number of substitute individuals used in the process was, in his opinion, unlimited. #VAT #budżet #Polska (translated)

In 2025, Ukrainians received benefits of 800+ amounting to 2.715 billion PLN. The revenue from the PIT tax from Ukrainians amounted to 2.265 billion PLN and covered less than 85% of the costs of the 800+ program. And where are the rest of the public benefits? https://t.co/U37SWX9OBO #Ukraina #świadczenia #polityka (translated)

The PIT revenues in 2025 amounted to 202.8 billion PLN. The PIT revenues from Ukrainians in 2025 amounted to just under 2.3 billion PLN. This is only 1.1% of the total revenues, although they make up 4.6% of taxpayers. https://t.co/i6Vwc15d79 #PIT #podatki #finanse (translated)

Mr. Nawrocki, Unfortunately, I listened to this hmmm "message" and checked it against the documents. And, as usual, I have a problem. A big one. Because when you set aside the gestures, the teleprompter, and the political phrases, what remains is a series of facts mixed with half-truths, altered chronology, forecasts presented as certainties, and accusations that are not even confirmed by the documents of your own Office and a mass of other manipulations. Step by step. "The campaign promise of fuel at 5.19." No. Mr. Donald Tusk’s specific statement about 5.19 PLN was made in JUNE 2022. Parliamentary elections were scheduled for August 8, 2023. Only then did the election campaign begin in the sense of the Electoral Code. But it gets much more interesting with your quote... In the message, you connected 5.19 PLN, "one simple decision," and... a VAT reduction 🤦‍♂️ However, in the original statement about 5.19, Tusk talked about the MARGINS of Orlen and Lotos. And in a later statement about "one decision," he also talked about limiting Orlen's profits. Not about VAT! 🤦‍♂️ You are manipulating the Prime Minister's statement, and you are using the institution of the Address to the Nation for that... Exactly the same version about VAT was spread by Mr. Bogucki in the morning, but in his case, nothing surprises me anymore. A coincidence? Let’s move on. You claim that your project would cause "an immediate drop in fuel prices of over 2 PLN." Meanwhile, your OWN justification explicitly states that the mechanism DOES NOT START when the law comes into force. First, specific market conditions must occur. Then the Council of Ministers MAY issue a regulation. Only then does the mechanism begin to work. Where is the "immediate" here? Did you read your "own" project? Or are you just repeating this nonsense from Mr. Przydacz? Moreover, earlier materials from KPRP talked about an ESTIMATE of 1.70–2.60 PLN 🤦‍♂️ In the address, the estimate has already turned into a guaranteed effect 🤦‍♂️ Next, you say that the project is "good for the budget"... Meanwhile, your own justification predicts a loss of up to 600 million PLN just from the retail sales tax and further, unestimated costs of any potential excise tax reduction. I ask again - did you read your own project? Because you probably didn’t write it manually... Even more interesting. In the address: "The government bears full responsibility for fuel prices." In the justification of your project: market disruptions have an "objective character and are independent of entrepreneurs and the government".... So please decide. Full responsibility of the government or factors independent of the government? Because both versions cannot be true at the same time 🤦‍♂️ "The Marshal of the Sejm freezes the project." The project was submitted on September 18. On the same day, it was directed to the Legislative Office and BEOS. Then for opinions and consultations. Moreover, KPRP talked about the possibility of "freezing" as early as September 17 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ THE DAY BEFORE THE PROJECT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE SEJM! So first, a narrative about freezing was created, and only later did the Marshal receive the bill 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Are you communicating with the rest of the "experts" in your office?? Next, we hear that the government deliberately keeps prices high because it wants to profit from VAT and dividends from Orlen. Proof? None was provided! A higher price may mean higher nominal VAT revenues. Orlen can pay dividends to shareholders. But one does not imply the other: this is NOT proof that the government deliberately keeps fuel prices high. This is attributing a motive without providing evidence 🤦‍♂️ Then you sign the law and say: "Every zloty obtained from this law must be spent on reducing fuel prices." A moment earlier, you conceded that the law DOES NOT CONTAIN a mechanism for passing that money on to reduce prices 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Exactly. So it "mustn't." This is your political demand, not the legal effect of the signed law 🤷‍♂️ Moody’s? Yes. Here, the fact is a fact: Poland's rating was lowered from A2 to A3. But why was there no information that at the same time, the outlook was changed from negative to STABLE? Why does the rating decision then create a vision that "tomorrow there may not be enough for pensions and armaments"? #Polska #Polityka #Fakty (translated)

I understand well that the government is pleased with the alleged victory over the President in videos online, but now it must account almost immediately for promises of low fuel prices, and due to the President's decisions, VAT revenues are falling, which exacerbates the government's poor ratings? "It's all good!" https://t.co/bK4TTpghqZ #Polska #rząd #polityka (translated)

This is Przemysław Czarnek as people want to see him. In a confrontation with a journalist from TVP, who was feeding budget propaganda from Tusk and Domański, he was unstoppable. "Do you remember the PiS governments? Do you remember that it was PiS who reduced the PIT tax to 12%? Do you remember that we exempted young people from PIT up to the age of 26? Do you remember that we lowered CIT to below 10%? Do you remember what happened after that? Budget revenues tripled. Because entrepreneurship in Poland requires liberation, while today entrepreneurs are oppressed. Their lump sum limit is being reduced from €2,000,000 to €250,000, meaning they will lose growth and earning potential. Today CIT is being raised, not lowered. Raising taxes will be necessary because, in their financial strategy, they planned to exceed the threshold, even though they themselves announced they wouldn't do it. Who do they think they are deceiving? The consequence will be the activation of the effects of Article 86." The battered TVP journalist wanted to change the subject at the end and transitioned to PiS's program solutions, but here too he hit a Czarek wall. "I invite you to the PiS economic congress on Saturday. We will present ideas there, but we have already previously presented a simple increase of the second tax threshold from 120,000 PLN to 180,000 PLN and leaving Poles with 12,000 PLN in their pockets, and couples with 24,000 PLN." At the very end, he dealt a blow to the journalist and Domański, referring to the bypassing of the Polish Constitution by the government and the treatment of same-sex partnerships as marriages. "Let me remind you at TVP that a marriage is a UNION OF A WOMAN AND A MAN, and not as Domański says, TWO GUYS." Absolutely phenomenal three minutes that show the reasons why Jarosław Kaczyński chose him as the frontman for the 2027 parliamentary elections. In this speech, Przemysław Czarnek combined the most important foundations that should characterize PiS over the next year. - PRIDE in the 8-year achievements of PiS - INFORMATION about the 8-year achievements of PiS - WITTY presentation of the 8-year achievements of PiS - SHARP AND ACCURATE presentation of the disastrous reality of Tusk's government - SWIFT RESPONSE to the propaganda of the government and Tusk's media barking dogs If Czarnek maintained this level all the time, he would be unstoppable. #PiS #Czarnek #Polska (translated)

I'm already a bit tired of this war Nawrocki–Tusk over who wants to lower fuel prices more and who will hit their opponent harder. On a daily basis, I deal with law and legislation, so instead of another press conference, I prefer to try to do something more useful. Let's think about whether it is possible to create a mechanism that works independently of who is currently in power and who lives in the Presidential Palace. Let's tentatively call it the Fuel Price Stabilization Mechanism - nothing more spectacular comes to mind. I’m not talking about flashy slogans like administrative price setting or the prime minister should lower it, or the president presented a bill, so the problem is solved. I’m talking about an automatic system established in law. I imagined it so that if for a certain period, the reference price of oil or wholesale fuel exceeds a set threshold, a temporary reduction in excise tax is automatically triggered. Without a political decision being made anew each time, because that leads to endless arguments at the expense of citizens. The law specifies in advance: - when the mechanism is triggered, - by how much the burden is reduced, - how long it operates, - when it automatically expires. Of course, within the limits of EU law. Because it is worth reminding a rather prosaic fact - a member state cannot arbitrarily eliminate fuel taxation. Here the 2003/96/EC directive comes in, determining minimum levels of taxation for gasoline and diesel. So just as it should be done - first the law and only then the slogans - I’m directing this to my favorite camp, the surroundings of the office. Now there remains a more important problem. If we lower the excise tax, the budget receives less money. This cost does not disappear, it does not magically evaporate. You can't just move it to the "someone may pay later" column. That’s why the mechanism should have a second arm - a temporary levy on the truly extraordinary portion of profits in the fuel sector. But not on the entire profit and definitely not on the normal operation of the enterprise. Not because the company dared to make a profit but solely from that portion that exceeds the previously defined reference level. The current government project wants to use a similar construct - the reference point is margins from 2025 increased by 20%, and only the excess is taxed. The tax rate in the project is 60%, and the projected revenues are about 4 billion PLN. The government indicates that the funds are meant to compensate for the loss of VAT and excise tax revenue resulting from protective actions. However, I would change one fundamental thing. Only PROSPECTIVELY. First, we establish the rule, then we apply it. Not the other way around. This significantly reduces the dispute over retroactivity and legal safety - the reason for Mr. Nawrocki's veto. Revenues from such a levy should be additionally separated and accounted for solely for the purposes of the stabilization mechanism. Then we can show the citizen a simple calculation: - the budget lost X from the temporary excise tax reduction, - the extraordinary levy brought Y, - and the difference is Z. No miracles or political alchemy - simplicity in full scope. But there is still one problem. If the state reduces the burden by 20 groszy per liter, it doesn’t automatically mean that the driver will see 20 groszy less on the sign. Part of the relief may be taken by the margin because who doesn’t want to make a profit... That’s why there should be parallel, public monitoring: - raw material price, - wholesale price, - taxes, - average margin, - retail price. If there is an anomaly, we have UOKiK and competition law instruments. There’s no need to immediately create a state office to set the price of diesel at 7:43 in the morning. And a final safeguard. The price returns below the statutory threshold for a certain period? The reduction expires, the levy expires. The system returns to normal mode. #ustawy #ceny #paliwa (translated)

Mr. Bogucki, it's just that this story is already starting to contradict itself. First, for months we hear about a record deficit, an incredible budget hole, and a government that supposedly cannot manage the state's finances 🤷‍♂️ And now the solution is a project that includes, among other things, exempting fuel sales from the retail sales tax and the ability to lower excise duties. In other words, put simply—reducing public revenues 🤷‍♂️ And that's where the magic begins. Because if the budget gets less money, then this shortfall has to be either covered by other revenues, or cut somewhere in expenditures, or increase the deficit. There is no fourth way and a drawer labeled "money from nowhere" (the NBP also doesn't have it) And I can already see the next conferences of people from the office's surroundings: the government raised other taxes - bad; the government cut expenditures - bad; the government increased the deficit - scandal, budget hole - government should resign! So regardless of the solution, the government and Tusk will of course be to blame. At the same time, when the government proposes a temporary tax on extraordinary profits of fuel companies, with revenues expected to be around 4 billion PLN and intended precisely to compensate for the loss from VAT and excise duties in protective measures, we also hear - no! So let's finally establish: drivers should pay less, concerns should not pay tax on extraordinary profits, other taxes should not be raised, expenditures should not be cut, the deficit should also not be increased. So could you please specify where exactly these missing billions should come from 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Because economics, unlike your flowery statements, unfortunately has to balance 🤷‍♂️ #ekonomia #budżet #Polska (translated)

Obóz Donalda Tuska musi mieć świadomość, że władza przemija, a odpowiedzialność pozostaje. Partyjne stanowisko, wpływy ani tłumaczenie, że wykonywało się polecenia, nie mogą stanowić gwarancji bezkarności.
