Do Sejm a project was submitted that provides for an increase in salaries for Presidentparliamentarians premiere and ministers, and also provides for the introduction of a salary for the first lady. All parliamentary clubs unanimously supported the project. This met with an avalanche of comments on the web.
“You’re making your pasture out of Poland”
Let me remind you, according to the Central Statistical Office: half of Poles earn up to PLN 4,100 (median), the average is PLN 5,000. And what kind of raise did you get this year?
– wrote Rafał Mundry.
Mr. Rafał Mundry went with populism, not trying on PJK when he lowered his salary. I agree that there should be rules and actions that should be enforced, because so far there are MPs who really work and are not to say that ‘pens’, but ‘voting cards’ yes
– journalist Mariusz Gierej emphasized.
I believe that politicians should earn a lot more, but with the requirement of full presence in offices and Parliament and a designated incentive system in the form of mockery. Many people’s efficiency is now laughable. I won’t mention the quality of the work
– said the former journalist Karolina Hytrek-Prosiecka.
Should the First Lady be paid? YES. Is that amount? NO. The staroste responsible for hospitals, roads, schools and many other matters in the poviat can earn a maximum of PLN 12,500 gross. In this situation, 18,000 for being the president’s wife is a gross exaggeration
– said Dariusz Szczotkowski, president of the Low Contribution Association.
The First Lady should have a salary, but not that amount. And certainly not the First Lady, not present. Is he to get a dozen or so thousand for silence?
– wrote councilor Alicja Cichoń.
Today, an ordinary MP gets around 8,400 zlotys. The United Right proposes a PLN 4,500 increase. Over 50 percent (!) in the midst of a deep recession, falling tax revenues. Plus increases of 100 percent. for the president and prime minister, by 80 percent for ministers … You’re making your pasture out of Poland!
– underlined the Warsaw councilor Marek Szolc.
We are facing a crisis, we have a pandemic, prices are rising the fastest in 20 years, and PiS decides to give itself increases. From now on, the first lady will be able to boast more than the MPs (on a par with the ministers)
– wrote Damian Kurowski, a member of the Youth for Freedom – youth party of the KORWiN party.
I understand that since the First Lady will earn money (finally), she will also speak publicly on important matters, right?
– Martyna Jaszczołt, the publisher on TVN24 asked.
So the first lady is to earn more than the deputies and senators elected by the people. And even than deputy ministers, many of whom were also elected somewhere by the people
– said Rafał Mrowicki, reporter for “Dziennik Bałtycki”.
For specific work and specific activity, the Chancellery of the Sejm may sign (public!) Civil law contracts with remuneration from a predetermined price list. However, one should remember about the privileges that the first lady already has, including financial ones
– wrote Marek Tatała.
It is obvious that MPs, deputy ministers (especially), ministers, the President and the First Lady should earn more / in general. Only extreme populists will say otherwise. It is a matter of ending with the terrible state
– said Bartosz Marczuk from the Polish Development Fund.
