Confederate press conference attended by Krzysztof Tuduj and Vladimir Skalik, on 1 October 2024.
Krzysztof Tuduj:
– We are both elected Members from regions, with lands that have faced floods and are now facing the effects of floods. Our conference deals with this subject, the amendments that the Confederacy makes to the peculiar law, which is being made in the Sejm over political divisions, in order to scope out with aid as shortly as possible, adequate assistance to those in need. To persons who should be the recipients of these benefits.
It is very crucial that this assistance is swift, that the Confederacy does not become a perch here, it supports the fast implementation of this law. Quickly, but besides adequate to get her into the right hands, to make aid intelligent, fit the situation. A minute ago, there was reading in the plenary room. We have tabled amendments that I will briefly present to you.
We request that entrepreneurs who have been experienced by this disaster be for a period of 12 months, due to the fact that that is the duration of this peculiar measure, exempt from the work to pay social safety contributions. The present proposal only mentions postponement. Unfortunately, it just seems like it's kind of a distraction that actually touched... The Polish State should respond by releasing entrepreneurs from this obligation, which will translate into a very good economical situation in the area affected by the disaster.
We have besides seen any repetition, the unnecessary introduction of an additional institution in the form of a random allowance for the parents of children. Leaving this amount of PLN 1000 for each child, we believe that this benefit is actually unnecessary, and that amount may enter as part of the flood allowance simply for the intent of having each child. And this is crucial adequate that it will reduce the cost of paying these allowances, reduce the bureaucracy, let officials not to be so burdened with work.
Finally, as regards this benefit for entrepreneurs, its size, we would propose that we avoid a situation where there will be an chance to extort the unfair amount of this intervention aid for entrepreneurs – and this warrant would be to calculate this benefit, not on the basis of the number of workers declared on the day in question, but on the basis of the actual number of workers per period before the submission of this application, which will origin us to defend the budget, to defend the public money in specified a way that it goes only to those who actually deserve it, and to the degree that they deserve it, without creating a grey region or the anticipation of utilizing this flood situation for any of the low economical objectives here.
We want to improve this task as much as we can. Unfortunately, it is always more risky to proceed at a fast pace, and we will besides watch carefully how this law works and postulate an update if necessary. Of course, we regret that most of these institutions and instruments must apply ad hoc, that they were not prepared for specified situations.
We request that we draw lessons from this, that as much as possible of this intellectual capital related to the management and the cataclysm itself or the reaction to the cataclysm, as well as the state response, state, self-government, to the consequences of this threat, which we all know may happen again. It is crucial to draw conclusions to minimise risks for the future and to be as safe as possible. And today, the most crucial thing is that the aid goes straight to the affected.
