The arrival of spring is an opportunity to take stock of the winter season. The package of solutions introduced by the government has enabled all Poles to get through this period safely.

As a result of concrete action, we are less affected by the war and the energy crisis. We have introduced shields and fuel purchase allowances, lowered high energy prices and ensured the availability of coal.
