Misunderstanding with "transitory retirement" idea

Donald Tusk declared that he was not informed about Labor and Social Policy Minister Jolanta Fedak's intention to introduce the "transitory retirement" bill to the lower chamber of the Polish government.

Jolanta Fedak announced on Tuesday that she wants to propose to the government the idea of transitory retirement for teachers. Under the initiative, such pensions would be collected for five years approaching the statutory age of 60 for women and 65 for men.

Although not informed about it, Tusk admitted that he is interested in softening of "some consequences of early retirement reform with reference to the oldest teachers, who might have planned their lives knowing they have this right," he said.

Prime Minister assured that he will not make Peasants' Party (PSL) any reproaches for not informing him about the situation.
