planning or have already implemented
Here is a partial list of what has been accomplisehd and is being planned:
1) The Family 500+ program providing a 500 zł ($129) monthly child allowance to age 18 to counteract the country's depopulation and encourage procreation;
2) Lowering retirement age to 60 for women and 65 for men which the previous government had raised to 67;
3) Raising the tax-free base to 8000 zł (about $2,050) a year
4) Providing free medicine for over those 75 and over;
5) Increasing the minimum wage to 12 zł/($3.07) an hour;
6) A special retail tax on large, mainly foreign-owned supermarkets and discount chains to give smaller Polish-family-owned businesses a fighting chance;
7) A plan to re-Polonize (buy back) former Polish banks often hastily sold to foreign financial institutions;
8) The Morawiecki Plan to create Poland's own indigenous entrepreneurial class and industrial base;
9) Tough anti-terrorist and law-enforcement legislation which may have contributed to NATO's trouble-free Warsaw Summit and safe World Youth Days with Pope Francis;
10) A drop in unemployment to 8.6%, the country's lowest level since the compilation of such data started in 1992.
11) Reduction of poverty and redistribution of wealth, largely attributable, according to the World Bank, to the Family 500+ program;
12) Plans have been annoiucned to reform the judiciary so judges cannot palce themselves above the law.
13) More emphasis on Polish history and culture in the public media and school curricula and state subsidies for cultural projects promoting Poland's cultural heritage.
PIS
First of all it's PiS, not PIS, unless your keyboard lacks a lower-case letter "i"!
Hardly a day goes by that some new good change is not annoucned. That dauntless crusader for human justice, Zbigniew Ziobro, recently announced plands to reform the judiciary. They have become a state within a state and regard themselves as being above the law. One of the resentful judges at Rzepliński's hate session last week arrogantly declared: "I am a judge and cannot be prosecuted!"
But before the entire judiciary can be proeprly overhauled, the Constitutional Tribunal dispute must first be resolved, Ziobro added. And more power to him!
