The Government Fund for Local Investments programme enables the implementation of new investment projects that improve the quality of life for citizens across Poland. Renovating roads and kindergartens, setting up nurseries and providing additional equipment to hospitals are just some examples of initiatives undertaken by local authorities thanks to government funding.

To the residents, the investment project will bring such improvements as a new running track around the stadium’s pitch and a renovated car park in its vicinity. During his visit, the Prime Minister also met with firefighters from the Przytkowice Volunteer Fire Department.

The government strives to provide special care for the elderly. To ensure their financial security, Polish senior citizens will soon receive their 14th monthly retirement pension. Furthermore, they will be able to benefit from special tax solutions introduced as part of the Polish Deal. During his meeting with the pensioners in Błonie, PM Morawiecki emphasized just how crucial it is to maintain strong ties with older generations: “A tree detached from its roots dies. Our roots, which gave us life and experience, are our senior citizens – the generations thanks to which we are here.”

The head of the Polish government summed up the state of the Polish economy after COVID-19 and asked questions about the shape of the future social and economic model – “Let's build a social and economic system that will be strong enough to respond to challenges and that will be built on solid financial foundations.”

The Second Polish Republic owed its survival in no small part to the Silesian insurgents and their 1919-1921 uprisings. To commemorate their deeds, the Wojciech Korfanty Institute of Polish Thought and Institute de Republica prepared a special exhibition.

Mr Morawiecki emphasized that Silesian insurgents put their bets on Poland and these events should be remembered as victorious Polish uprisings.

The construction of a shipping channel through the Vistula Spit, which will connect the Gulf of Gdansk with the Vistula Lagoon, is underway. Thanks to this, Poland will no longer have to ask Russia for permission to enter the Lagoon. And this is the only way to get to the ports in Elblag, Frombork or Tolkmicko. One of the two crossings over the Vistula Spit – the Southern Bridge – was named after Jerzy Wilk, MP, who was an advocate for the construction of the canal. The ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński.
