Former MPC member calls to limit 500+, adopt the euro

Bogusław Grabowski, a former member of the Monetary Policy Council, called to limit the state programme 500+, because, according to him, it is not crucial for the wealthiest Poles. “We drain money from the poorest to the richest. There are many such programmes,” he said.

Grabowski also called to cancel the 13th and 14th pensions, arguing that “they are not pensions”. “They should be included in normal benefits, indexed normally,” the economist said. He also called for the adoption of the euro. “It would bring us much better stability, financial security, but also stability and political security, better prospects for long-term growth,” Grabowski stated.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki criticized the proposals. “The new economic guru of the opposition, but the old solutions: liquidate, privatize, extend working hours,” he wrote on Twitter.
