With the mud that is being thrown at me, support at the level of support of Law and Justice voters is a great satisfaction for me. I am not a minister to be liked. I am a minister who is supposed to carry out the work – said the head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Przemysław Czarnek, on Radio Zet on Thursday. When asked if he takes into account the voice of public opinion, he replied that he “mainly takes into account the voice of the leadership of his political group and the Prime Minister”.
Przemyslaw Czarnek was asked on Thursday on Radio Zet about the words of Katarzyna Lubnauer, a member of the Civic Coalition. “Lex Czarnek’s defeat twice, HiT’s defeat, now villa plus, i.e. villas for their own. Isn’t it time to resign, Minister?” – quoted the words of the MP from the Civic Coalition leading the conversation.
The Minister of Education and Science began to enumerate the “merits” of his ministry. – A radical increase in the educational subsidy – over PLN 11 billion, the Laboratories of the Future program for over a billion PLN in all primary schools, including private ones, Get to know Poland for PLN 130 million, the introduction of History and the Present to the curriculum from September 1 last year – he said.

On the remark that “success people do not see”, he said that “he has excellent polls coincides with the support of Law and Justice.” The host noted that “every fourth respondent in the survey for ‘Dziennik Gazeta Prawna’ is critical of his actions, and another poll says that he should resign over the villa plus issue.
Czarnek replied that the villa plus “is an absolutely excellent program, well developed, brilliantly carried out”. – Thanks to this, we bought, for example, a piano for PLN 650,000 for the Municipal House of Culture in Nałęczów (…), a coach for PLN 750,000 for the Ostrów Lubelski OSP commune, which will deliver children – he enumerated.
Note that the Association of Entrepreneurs’ Environment Probiznes received over PLN 700,000 for the purchase of a building with a garden in Włocławek, Czarnek said that “all of Poland received educational infrastructure, local government officials, if they just wanted to reach for it, and those from PSLalso from the Platform – PLN 5 billion 200 million. – How does it relate to these PLN 40 million? – he asked.
In his opinion, the issue of funding is “a storm made by Mrs. (Katarzyna) Lubnauer and Mrs. (Krystyna) Szumilas in an absolutely dishonest way towards these associations and foundations.”
