Dispute over energy could cause a split in the government
According to Onet.pl sources, Solidarna Polska politicians are to remind Prime Minister Morawiecki of a number of, in their opinion, bad decisions that have resulted in economic and social problems. Among them is the consent in December 2020 to proceed with the Fit For 55 project, which, according to SP politicians, is to lead to the liquidation of the Polish mining industry.
The coalition partners also criticize the lack of results in the process of reforming the ETS system, which in their opinion is responsible for the increase in electricity costs.
Zbigniew Ziobro’s party has long criticized Mateusz Morawiecki’s government for making bad decisions in the context of energy and being too submissive to Brussels.
