Social programs, including 500+, are neccesary - PO leader

Social programs, including 500+, are needed, said PO leader Grzegorz Schetyna on Friday. "I will repeat once again - nothing that is given will be taken away," he stressed. Schetyna admitted that the way of introducing a higher retirement age was a mistake.  "This could have been done on a voluntary basis and incentives rather than coercion" Schetyna said.
