During a parliamentary session, Mariusz Błaszczak, head of the PiS parliamentary club, urged lawmakers to increase the tax-free allowance to 60,000 PLN. PiS proposed adding the bill to the agenda, criticizing the ruling coalition for delaying its implementation. “This project has been stuck in your freezer since May last year. You promised it would become law. And what did you do? You lied. Enough games—get to work,” Błaszczak stated.
Financial Constraints Halt Reform
Karol Nawrocki, an independent presidential candidate, also stressed the urgency of this reform. “Every year, an average household loses 7,200 PLN due to yet another lie from Tusk,” he argued. Meanwhile, Deputy Finance Minister Jarosław Neneman admitted the government cannot currently afford the change, citing high defense spending and financial constraints. “The cost of this reform is 56 billion PLN, and with over 5% of GDP allocated to war-related expenses, we simply cannot fulfill this promise at this moment,” he explained.
