    Morawiecki Calls for Immediate Flood Relief: “Now is the Time to Act”

    Morawiecki urges immediate government action for flood relief in Poland, criticizing the proposed aid as insufficient amid widespread business losses.


    Former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki urges the government to implement an “anti-flood shield” to support flood victims in southern and western Poland. He emphasizes that many businesses have been devastated, and a response beyond the proposed 1 billion złoty is necessary.

    Tusk’s Response to the Crisis

    Initially, Donald Tusk had downplayed the severity of the flood risk. After severe flooding caused widespread destruction, the government announced a 1 billion złoty aid package. However, this amount has been criticized as insufficient, with public reaction expressing concern.

    A Call for Greater Support

    Morawiecki insists that the aid must be significantly higher, calling for “several to over a dozen billion złoty.” He draws parallels to the swift financial response during the pandemic, urging similar urgency now. “Every failed business is a human tragedy,” he states, demanding immediate government action to save local economies.
