A few days ago, the parliamentary infrastructure committee showed just how little the current government cares about Poland’s future. They rejected a citizen-backed proposal that would have required them to complete the Central Communication Port (CPK) as originally planned—and they did so without any debate. Where is the democracy in this? Where is the voice of the people?
“Realistic forecasts” – A New Excuse for Delaying Progress
Former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has not been shy about calling out the government’s incompetence. In a recent video, he tore apart the government’s latest proposal for CPK, the so-called “realistic forecasts.” What does this mean in practice? The new airport is now projected to serve more passengers than originally expected, meaning that it will need to be expanded right from the start. What a joke. Only a short while ago, Tusk’s government said the airport wasn’t even necessary, but now they’re admitting that it’ll already be too small?
Morawiecki is absolutely right to point out the hypocrisy and manipulation at play here. How can they claim the airport isn’t needed while also admitting that the passenger numbers will exceed initial expectations? It’s nothing but a blatant lie designed to cover up their incompetence and sabotage Poland’s transport sovereignty.
Deliberate Delays and Budget Cuts: How the Government is Destroying Poland’s Future
But the mismanagement doesn’t stop there. The planned opening of the CPK has been delayed by four years, and this will have devastating consequences for Poland’s cargo transport. The airport was initially supposed to handle 1.1 million tons of freight annually, but now it will take another decade to reach that goal. Even worse, funding for essential cargo infrastructure has been slashed from over 6.5 billion PLN to just 533 million PLN. And the government expects us to believe everything is under control?
Co oznacza "urealnienie" planów budowy @CPK_PL? Opóźnienia, konieczność rozbudowy od 1 dnia, spadek obrotów cargo i inwestycji w infrastukturę. To sabotaż gospodarczy Polski! pic.twitter.com/Bp2opI4Z5n

A Country in Decline: Poland Loses Its Place on the Global Stage
Morawiecki didn’t mince words when he said, “Through these incompetents, CPK is losing its place as a major player in the market.” And honestly, how can anyone disagree? Instead of focusing on infrastructure, building Poland’s position in Europe, and investing in our future, Tusk’s government is pushing Poland into stagnation and giving Germany an advantage.
