Nationwide sports field "Orlik" program not to be continued

The Law&Justice government decided not to continue the program, which would require PLN 500 million. The program itself costed PLN 1 billion and built 2600 structures, a few hundreds of whom require immediate modernization in order not to pose any threat to children. "There will be no national modernization program" said Minister of Sport Witold Bańka. As he adds, the repairs of the sports fields should be in charge of local structures, and the Ministry has got no cash to spend on them. Ireneusz Raś says the discontinuation of the program is a part of the war between the now ruling party and the Civic Platform, author of the program. Witold Bańka wants the new Ministry  to concentrate on revitalizing school sports club trained by professional PE teachers.
