Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that he would try to convince MPs to reduce spending on the Chancellery of the President and the Institute of National Remembrance. The head of government explained that next year's budget is to allocate more money for both purposes. Importantly, the current authorities have no influence on this.
Tusk spoke about “sacred cows”. He wants to limit some budgets
– There is a certain category of institutions, such as the Chancellery of the President or the Institute of National Remembrance, for which the government does not design a budget, they only send information on what budget they should have and the government can only put it as a part of the budget that will go to the Sejm – commented Donald Tusk – Of course, proportionally, just as we try to save on government institutions, we will try to convince MPs of all groups to spend significantly less of this money.
The Prime Minister added that institutions that are responsible for independently designing their own budgets are called “sacred cows.” This status is also to be held by, among others, the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Tribunal and the National Broadcasting Council.
