The decisions made by Donald Tusk’s government regarding the Central Communication Port (CPK) have become a symbol of the widening gap between developed and underdeveloped Poland. As experts from the Presidential Council for Strategic Development Projects warn, rejecting the #TakdlaCPK bill is a blatant endorsement of marginalizing a large portion of our country by those currently in power.
The Government Closes the Door to Development
The Infrastructure Committee recommended that the Sejm reject the citizen-proposed #TakdlaCPK bill, which aimed to ensure transparent monitoring of this crucial investment. This decision puts not only the future of CPK but also the idea of an integrated transport system—intended to serve the entire country—into serious doubt.
Instead, this project has been reduced to an exclusive railway line serving only four metropolitan areas, while the airport itself is being built chaotically and without a clear vision.
“This is equivalent to the ruling government accepting the division of the country into developed and underdeveloped Poland,” warned Rafał Milczarski and Mikołaj Wild, experts involved in the project.
Tusk’s Team Makes Disastrous Decisions
The rejection of the #TakdlaCPK bill is not the only controversial move. One of the most shocking decisions of the new government was to replace private investors in CPK with the state-owned Polish Airports (PPL).
This decision not only weakens the project’s credibility in financial markets but also exposes it to allegations of illegal state aid within the European Union. “Private investors’ participation guaranteed that we were dealing with an investment that had a real return rate, rather than a political whim,” the official statement reads.
PPL lacks the expertise and experience necessary to manage such a vast undertaking. As a result, instead of a strategic project based on sound economic principles, we are left with an initiative that risks becoming another costly burden on Polish taxpayers.
