Kaczyński's employment law promise an election stunt?

But the move has been criticized by some as nothing more than a publicity stunt. Representatives of the Employers' Association PKPP Lewiatan announced that the decisions of the government are "made without the feeling of responsibility for the state and are oriented at reaching short term political targets in the election campaign." On signing the agreement Kaczyński claimed, "The government's policies are aimed at joining Poland's rapid economic development with solving problems related to social issues and employees." The costs related to the prolongation of the right to early retirement could cost the budget an additional zł.18 billion. The move is somewhat surprising as Kaczyński's Law and Justice (PiS) party has been working on a bill for the past two years that will limit this possibility.
