500+ will increase to 700+ in response to “grandma’s”? Mueller’s words won’t stop the rumors

“Wyborcza Newspaper” reported that Law and Justice had to decide in internal negotiations on the 500+ raise. It was supposed to be a response to Donald Tusk’s “grandmother’s” allowance, that is, 1,500 zł for child care.

500+ grow to 700+? The decision was to be made in the PiS

According to the newspaper, citing an anonymous PiS politician, the party had to decide to raise the United Right’s flagship program. 500+ will turn into 700+. Deputy Finance Minister Artur Sobon and government spokesman Piotr Müller were asked about this at a press conference.

- We have such a problem that we have the impression that this proposal is created only in the editorial office on Czerskaya Street. Time and time again we even have a page on the main page that doesn’t have any specific information - said Deputy Finance Minister Artur Sobon.

“We are not currently working on this type of solution. We have implemented a range of solutions that support families. This complements the 500+ program. In practice, this means that the funds allocated to families currently amount to PLN 87 billion from the state budget. he pointed out. - The taxation system that we introduced after the changes is much more fair for families. It’s a system that advances families and the direction we’re going - added the Deputy Minister of Finance.

However, much more ambiguous about this was expressed by a government representative, who answered questions after the Deputy Minister of Finance. Regarding possible valorization 500+ Peter Müller stated that “no one said yes or no”.
