What goes on in Poland on the 25th of November.

The government may introduce an income criterion when freezing gas prices

– Income criteria? The prime minister is considering this option. We have income criteria in some aid instruments in this crisis, in others we do not. There is an analysis to what extent this criterion is possible in this case – said Artur Soboń from the Ministry of Finance on Radio ZET when asked about the issue of freezing gas prices.

– We wanted to launch the allowances quickly and efficiently, so that those who use wood, heating oil and coal could obtain subsidies as soon as possible – informed Artur Soboń from the Ministry of Finance on Radio ZET. – Indeed, we are wondering what this solution will look like in the end – he said about the gas price freeze.
