Let us remind you that there has been a recent discussion in the media about imposing limits on payments from the program 800 plus. Just at the beginning October this year, Polish 2050 MP Ryszard Petru stated that he was a supporter of such an idea. – If someone is very rich, he shouldn't get it 800 plus – said the politician on air TVN24.
Donald Tusk on the 800 plus limits. “Our government took the brunt.”
– I want it to sound clear. Don't be fooled, not for the first time, into thinking that if I am the Prime Minister, I will take something away soon. Years ago I said that nothing given was taken away. Besides, 500 plus turned into 800 plus. And it was our government that took the burden, sweet but a burden, to pay PLN 800 plus per child. And nothing will change here – he said during the conference prime minister. He also emphasized that this program is aimed “primarily at lifting families with children out of poverty.”
– There will be no criteria, there will be no restrictions. 800 plus will be paid for each child as long as I am responsible for the work of this government – concluded Donald Tusk.
The Minister of Family opposed the restrictions. “It's better that they receive and spend these funds”
As usual we discussedAgnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk, the Minister of Family, Labor and Social Policy, managed to react to Ryszard Petru's words. – Give up the idea of limiting the financing of health care. Don't look for savings in social programs that will help more families buy things for their children new shoes or send them on holiday – she commented in an interview with “Super Express“.
– It is better that they receive and spend these funds than for them to be absorbed by the system of dividing families into better and worse classes – emphasized Dziemianowicz-Bąk, admitting that she does not agree to restrictions on 800 plus payments.
