“The horror deficit is a fact. For six months we have been losing almost 8,000 PLN on average per second. After seven months of this year, the budget deficit already amounts to 156 billion PLN. The incompetent coalition government on December 13 is indebting us exponentially” – we hear in a spot published this morning on the profiles of Mateusz Morawiecki, former Prime Minister of Poland.
The Ministry of Finance released data on the budget execution after July. It shows that after seven months of this year, budget revenues amounted to 313.8 billion PLN, which is 49.6% of the 2025 plan, while state budget expenditures during this period amounted to 470.5 billion PLN, or 51.1% of the plan. The deficit reached 156.7 billion PLN, which represents 54.3% of the plan for the entire year.
A few days ago, Mateusz Morawiecki, former Prime Minister of Poland, published a longer post on social media discussing the budget deficit in its current scale. We learn that the state budget deficit after seven months already amounts to 156.7 billion PLN. “This is an absolute record!” – emphasized the PiS politician.
“The horror deficit is a fact”
Today, on the former Prime Minister’s social media, a spot was published – dedicated specifically to the issue of the budget hole.
The horror deficit is a fact. For six months we have been losing almost 8,000 PLN on average per second. After seven months of this year, the budget deficit already amounts to 156 billion PLN. The incompetent coalition government on December 13 is indebting us exponentially – we hear in the material. The narrator goes on to say that “we face exceeding the constitutional threshold of 60% debt relative to GDP.”
“This is not an abstraction; once it is exceeded, Poland will lose credibility, investors will turn away, and the cost of servicing the debt will skyrocket,” the narrator adds.
What will happen next? This question is also addressed by the narrator in the spot.
“Of course, Poles will pay for this with higher taxes, rising prices, and further sacrifices. And the government? Instead of finally taking care of public finances, it offers us a festival of substitute topics, while debt grows faster than ever. This is a time bomb, and we know how to defuse it. If you cannot – step aside.”
