Polish government does not intend to rush to ratify EU Reconstruction Fund

"There is no hurry" with the ratification of the EU Reconstruction Fund, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki believes. So far, this process has only been completed by eight countries. It is not known yet when the bill will go to the Polish Parliament. Meanwhile, consultations on the National Reconstruction Program will begin soon.
According to the original plans, the government was to deal with the draft law on the ratification of the "Next Generation EU" fund, intended for the economic reconstruction of EU member states, already on February 16. However, this did not happen – according to the media, incl. Gazeta Wyborcza daily, it was probably due to the opposition of Solidarna Polska.
At the press conference, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that the bill was not adopted, although there was a discussion about it. However, the coalition partner of PiS consistently distances himself from the budget package adopted in late autumn by the EU 27, consisting of the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027 due to the decision to implement a mechanism making the payment of EU funds conditional on compliance with the rule of law by beneficiary states.
In turn, KO and Poland 2050 insist on accelerating the work on the ratification.
