The mayor of Chodzież, Jacek Gursz, during a visit to his city, Mateusz Morawiecki, wanted to hand him the bill. The amount he wrote out on it amounted to PLN 4 million and 200,000. That much, according to the mayor, for a year had to pay the local government for the changes introduced by the government of Law and Justice. – Prime Minister saw the check, clearly looked at it, read it, then looked down at me. I will remember this sight for the rest of my life – said the local government official in the “Decision Time” on TVN24.

On Tuesday, in the poviat starosty in Oborniki, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki participated in a meeting with local governments from the following Greater Poland poviats: Obornicki, Chodzieski, Szamotuły and Wągrowiec, during which he handed them the symbolic checks of the Governmental Local Investment Fund, promising co-financing for any purpose.

Mayor face to face with the prime minister and bill for several million zlotys

On the same day the head of government paid a visit to his city, pointing out to Gursz that he had not traveled to Oborniki and did not collect the check. The mayor of Chodzież – he says – was not allowed to speak during the visit of the prime minister, so he had to stand on his own improvised stage. – I began my speech, the greeting when the Prime Minister stopped speaking, finished his speech and started walking through the market disc, moving away from his stage – he reported in “Decision Time” on TVN24 on Tuesday evening.

–

– In fact, we met face to face, we were half a meter apart and two SOP officers – he added. He noted that he wanted to give the prime minister an invoice for PLN 4,200,000. So much for him for a year had to pay the local government for the changes introduced by the government of Mateusz Morawiecki.

–

– Prime Minister saw the check, clearly looked at it, read it, then looked down at me. To be honest, this sight was a great satisfaction for me. The prime minister certainly did not expect that by handing out checks for local government investments throughout Poland, he would receive a bill from the inhabitants of a city like Chodzież – said Gursz. As he said, in Morawiecki’s eyes he saw great surprise and astonishment. “I’ll remember that look for the rest of my life,” he confessed.

–

– I think that what we did in Chodzież should be done by all local government officials. Not only do we enjoy what we get from the government, because we simply get the money from the government. However, bills must also be issued – argued the mayor.

“Propaganda, prepared for elections”

According to Gursz, the checks recently handed out to local governments by the prime minister are “only propaganda prepared for elections.” – I said, refusing to go to the meeting with the Prime Minister (in Oborniki – ed.) And thank you, provided that I have in my account the municipal office in Chodzież actual money that I can spend, not on paper, printed from a printer which the Prime Minister is giving away – he said.

–

He added that he did not go to Oborniki because he was aware of the amount that would be transferred to Chodzież. – It will be PLN 960 thousand. And in the last two or three months, due to lower revenues from PIT and COVID, we have lost almost two million zlotys. This is not leveling, what is being said: that it is a support for COVID, that it is an element of the shield (anti-crisis – ed.). No, this is only an element of propaganda, and the return of some of the money that we really deserved in April and May, ”the mayor explained.

–

As he said, the bill he issued to the prime minister “illustrates the costs incurred by the city of Chodzież last year as a result of all decisions imposed on us by the government without financial security”. – These are increases for teachers, these are the effects of tax cuts, the effects of rising energy prices, minimum wages, all that the government has invented, but for which local governments pay, not only Chodzież – he noted.

“Remember this, the government has no money. This is our money”

Wadim Tyszkiewicz, an independent senator and former president of Nowa Sól, said in “Decision Time” that he was “shaken” by this situation. – I am appalled by the behavior of Prime Minister Morawiecki, party officers who use local government for political struggle. This is unacceptable – he argued. He added that he is ashamed of some local government officials who “participate in this farce.”

–

– Remember that, the government has no money. This is our money, developed by us, only distributed by the government. The famous Local Government Investment Fund is something virtual, there is no money. Not in physical form on accounts. Something is being distributed that will have to be repaid some day if the Sejm finally votes, he explained.

–

As he said, these promises are given without any legal basis. – The Sejm did not adopt a change that would include this money in the budget – noted Tyszkiewicz.

–

At the same time, he emphasized that local governments should be compensated for the losses they suffered because of the pandemic. “But the form the government proposed is dramatically dishonest,” said the senator.
