Poland paid more contributions to Brussels in September than it received transfers from there for various types of funds. Former EU commissioner Janusz Lewandowski is surprised by this and stresses that the budgets were planned in such a way that Poland benefited from them. 

"The real drama, however, may be yet to come," he said in an interview with Business Insider.

In total, we received only €425 million from Brussels in September, while the contribution is still more or less the same and reached €598 million last month, according to figures from the Ministry of Finance.

Lewandowski suspects that we were "in the negative" in September, for example, due to EU deductions. This is because Brussels has reservations about, among other things, the Polish judicial system.
