Adrian Zandberg: Delete the entire CPK project? If we act this way, we will never build anything in Poland

The plan to build the Central Communication Port is controversial. 53% of respondents were in favor of abandoning this investment. surveyed economists in the “Rzeczpospolita” panel, but only 18 percent was strongly in favor of this. Among the opponents of investment in CPK, there are many voices that its scale should be reconsidered, taking into account air traffic forecasts in the era of green transformation.

Almost 30 percent respondents believe that the construction of the CPK is necessary. – Resigning from the construction of the CPK would be more or less as rational as the liquidation of junior high schools after 2015. Therefore, it would be an anti-, not pro-development change. CPK is a very beneficial project for Warsaw and Łódź and the entire country – said Dr. Maciej Bukowski, president of the WISE Europa think tank, to “Rzeczpospolita” a month ago. He emphasized that there were many misunderstandings around this project, including regarding its costs. – In the fiscal sense, public support for the CPK is necessary only in the rail and road part, but not in the airport part, which is self-financing – he explained. And he argued that abandoning the CPK would also be a political mistake, because it would strengthen the myth spread by the current government about the pro-German attitude of the opposition.

According to Adrian Zandberg, Law and Justice “committed many sins”, but “this does not mean that every long-term investment that was started during their rule should be abandoned.” “Unfortunately, there is such a temptation. The more enthusiastic fans are shouting, for example, to immediately cancel the entire CPK project. I think this is a bad approach. If we act this way, we will never build anything in Poland. Because one team rarely has more than four years at its disposal,” he said in a column for “Super Express”.

Adrian Zandberg: High-speed rail? Morocco overtook us

The co-chairman of the Razem party admitted that “there are serious doubts about the air part of the CPK”, but “throwing away the construction of a high-speed railway would be simply stupid.” “This is a chance for Poland to make a civilization leap. High-speed rail is essential for development. Today, in this respect, we are not only behind Western European countries or China. Countries such as Morocco have overtaken us,” he pointed out.
