However, the last few months were politically extremely intense because of the presidential elections which took place at the turn of June and July (first and second round). Also summer turned out to be politically no less hot than the spring time. The topic no. 1 was the government reconstruction planned for autumn and the preparations being made, including the resignation of several key ministers, plans to liquidate some of the ministries and political bargaining between the coalition partners. Debates on changes in the government The issue of government reconstruction was present in the media discourse already during the winter months, after the parliamentary elections won by the coalition of conservative parties Law and Justice (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, PiS), Solidarity Poland (Solidarna Polska) and the Agreement (Porozumienie). However, the primacy of the presidential election, which PiS wanted (understandably) to win at all costs and keep Andrzej Duda as President, as well as the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, significantly reoriented the priorities related to changes in the government. The reconstruction was to be made in a few months. However, already in mid-July, after Duda's victory over the opposition candidate Rafał Trzaskowski, the discussion about who Prime Minister Morawiecki would like to remove from the government resumed. The chairman of Law and Justice, Jarosław Kaczyński - indeed the main player in Polish politics - prompted the discussion himself. Kaczyński announced in a radio interview that there will be changes in Mateusz Morawiecki's government soon. As he said, "I think it will happen right after summer holidays." Kaczyński did not want to talk about changes in specific ministries, he only assured that the incumbent Prime Minister would remain in his position. This statement sparked a wave of speculation as to who and when would lose or gain a new position. Soon after that, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jacek Czaputowicz, shed some more light on the matter. He admitted that a few months earlier he had agreed with Morawiecki to continue his mission as head of diplomacy only until the presidential election. He assured that no one 1 was pressing on him in this matter and stressed that "now it is a good time to make a change in this position". Shortly, a debate over the names of the ministers who would resign was launched. As the media indicated, Morawiecki was supposed to be dissatisfied with the work of some members of the government, including Minister of Finance Tadeusz Kościński, Minister of Labor and Social Policy Marlena Maląg and Minister of Sport Danuta Dmowska-Andrzejuk. Out of all 20 ministries represented in Polish government, the Ministry of Finance as well as the one responsible for family and labor issues, are crucial. Therefore the change in the position of their heads in the current, quite uncertain situation on the financial markets and in social matters, seemed risky. These surprising and controversial changes were also confirmed in unofficial talks by politicians from the ruling parties. However, when asked for official comments on this matter, the leading politicians of all three political groupings took their breaths and claimed that the government would certainly be reshuffled, but that neither of the partners was certain of the changes. The government spokesman also declined to comment or indicated that the reconstruction would not take place until autumn. Resignations of Ministers However, the talks gained real momentum in mid-August. On August 17, Janusz Cieszyński resigned from the position of deputy Health Minister. The politician pointed out that he had planned this step for a long time. Yet, it caused a wave of hot comments - mainly because Cieszyński was responsible for purchases during the COVID-19 crisis and was responsible for still unexplained financial transactions, including for the acquire of respirators, masks and other medical equipment, bought by the Ministry of Health in March this year for the amount of over PLN 300 million (EUR 70 million), which contractors have not yet provided. Surprisingly, a day later the Minister of Health, Łukasz Szumowski, also resigned from his position. In a laconic communiqué, the head of the ministry stated that, like Cieszyński, he had been planning his resignation for a long time, and that he wanted to return to his medical profession, but at the same time he wanted to keep his mandate as Member of Parliament. The Minister explained that summer is the perfect time to quit from his position, because "the pandemic is now under control, the ministry has developed operating measures, and hospitals, clinics and doctors have developed procedures for dealing with COVID-19 patients". 2 Despite the reassuring tone, this resignation infuriated the public opinion. It has not happened for a long time that the politicians responsible for such a socially sensitive ministry resigned almost simultaneously. Taking into account the current situation in the healthcare sector and the consequences of the pandemic, it was pointed out that both of these resignations looked like "a joint escape from fire". It was emphasized that the flu season in Poland would start in September, and the combination of the epidemic of this disease with the coronavirus pandemic would lead to the collapse of the Polish health care system. The minister's explanations were ridiculed, as it was indicated that the true reason for his departure was the desire to avoid responsibility for false purchasing decisions and the resulting huge financial losses for the state budget. As MP, Szumowski will retain his immunity (guaranteed to members of the Sejm and Senat), and therefore it will be impossible to charge him. The wave of outrage that spread among the public opinion only increased in the following days, as there were more resignations in other ministries. The aforementioned Minister Czaputowicz followed in the footsteps of his colleagues. On August 20, he announced his resignation as head of diplomacy. Although he had planned to leave office earlier, his resignation caused consternation. Taking into account the current international situation and in particular the sharp protests in Belarus, Czaputowicz was accused of "departing from the battlefield", and leaving Polish eastern policy in enormous chaos. Considering the above, the resignation of another official - undersecretary of state in the Ministry of Digital Affairs, Wanda Buk - did not surprise anyone. Soon a carousel with the names of the candidates for ministers was launched. Ultimately, the role of a head of the Ministry of Health was given to Adam Niedzielski, a Polish economist and manager, specializing in financial and strategic management, who in the previous years was the director general at the Ministry of Finance (2016-2018), deputy president of the National Health Fund for operational matters (2018 - 2019), and the president of the National Health Fund (2019–2020). On the other hand, Zbigniew Rau - professor of legal sciences, former Senator (2005–2007), and former Lodz region administrator (2015–2019) - was appointed as the new Minister of Foreign Affairs. Disputes between the coalition partners - struggle for power and influence However, the rotation of ministers is only part of the changes - larger ones are related to the reduction in the number of ministries themselves. According to the ongoing coalition talks, only 11 to 13 of the current 20 ministries are to remain. This means losses for all three parties, 3 but the greatest losses for the smaller coalition partners - Solidarity Poland and Agreement - which, instead of two ministries, will have one ministry each. The reduction of ministries will also bring about a significant consolidation of power caused by creating a "slimmer government", and the creation of several "super-ministries" - including the Ministries of Administration and Home Affairs, the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Justice, which will take over some of the competences of the liquidated ministries. In fact creating such mega-departments is crucial for the political changes carried out by the current government. Coalition talks are underway - it is unofficially known that none of the leaders of the three political parties wants to agree to far-reaching concessions at the cost of losing their own power, but the Prime Minister himself demands extensive reform, since he wants to increase "steering" in the government. Morawiecki explains that such a broad apparatus of executive power generates huge costs and is very time consuming. Yet, it can also be assumed that he wants to strengthen his influence in the PiS party at the expense of politicians who throughout the time have built their authority in individual ministries and treated them as their own kingdoms. This struggle for power between internal factions may lead to interesting reshuffles in the ruling camp. Of all the unknowns, the only thing that is certain is that the new government will be smaller. PiS and the coalition partners must take into account the loss of their positions. The puzzle is difficult, because both Solidarity Poland and Agreement are negotiating the terms of new coalition agreements, which have not yet been signed despite the fact that almost a year has passed since the parliamentary elections were won. And in Kaczyński's party there is a competition for the seats of vice-presidents as well - those who will eventually take them have the best chance of taking over the chairman's seat in the future.

  • Warsaw, 13 November 2020 His Excellency Mateusz Morawiecki
    Warsaw, 13 November 2020 His excellency Mateusz Morawiecki Prime Minister of Poland Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland Regarding: A joint appeal by tenants and landlords to restore full operation of shopping centres not later than on 30 November Dear Prime Minister The Polish Council of Shopping Centres, Związek Pracodawców Polskich Obiektów Handlowych i Partnerów (ZPPOHiP) [Association of Employers of Polish Retail Facilities and Partners], and Związek Polskich Pracodawców Handlu i Usług (ZPPHiU) [Polish Trade and Services Employers' Association] – organisations representing owners and managers of retail properties, tenants, including more than a hundred Polish companies involved in the retail and shopping centre industry – are jointly appealing to the Polish Government to fully restore the operations of shopping centres by no later than 30 November 2020 to enable Poles to prepare for Christmas in safety and peace. Extending the restrictions on retail will lead to bankruptcies of numerous companies and the loss of thousands of jobs. Shopping centres have been and are prepared to serve customers safely, being one of the safest public places during the pandemic. Both landlords and tenants have prepared themselves for the expected second wave of infections and for operating under a strict sanitary regime. A number of investments have been made in safety measures (regular disinfection of places frequently touched by people, gloves or dispensers with disinfectant, and free-of-charge masks for customers), there is a constant monitoring of the visitor traffic in place, customer behaviour is enforced in accordance with regulations and recommendations (wearing masks, disinfecting hands, maintaining social distance). We have a possibility to reduce the number of people present in retail properties on an ongoing basis The data collected by the PRCH indicate that the scale of infections among shopping centre employees has not exceeded 1 per mille since May.

[email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: CHen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu 2017/01 Political crisis and changes in the composition of the government Last weeks have brought an almost never-ending discussion about changes in the government and its planned reconstruction. It is a rare procedure in the Polish political system under which some ministers lose their powers and new ones appear on the stage. Unexpectedly, however, the Animal Protection Act shook the talks and caused a serious political crisis. The reconstruction that followed the crisis is very far-reaching and shows who is genuinely ruling the country. Political crisis related to the Animal Protection Act The debate about reducing the number of ministries, changing their competences or powers of individual ministers had already been going on throughout the summer period (see Poland 2020 September Domestic Policy Briefing). When it seemed that the three parties which create the ruling coalition of the United Right (Law and Justice Party, Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, PiS; United Poland; Solidarna Polska; Agreement, Porozumienie Jarosława Gowina) were already agreeing on the appearance of the new government, one vote shocked the political scene and public opinion. A real game changer was the voting on the Animal Protection Act (so-called "five for animals" act), which entered the deliberations of the parliament on September 18, and was voted shortly after by a large part of the political circles represented in the SeJm.

  • 2020: What Next? Poland, Europe and the World in the Last Months of the Year Dear Readers
    DOSSIER FOR MEMBERS OF AMCHAM POLAND 2020: What next? Poland, Europe and the World in the last months of the year Dear Readers, “The one thing we can say with great certainty is that the ever-present uncer- tainty is constant, and will accompany us in the coming decade”. These are the words with which I opened the Risk and Trends 2020 conference on Jan- uary 31. This was right on target, although it is not a remarkable feat to find the future to be unpredictable. In January, I spoke about a decade of instability, about an acceleration of events, and about attention spans that have been re- duced to a bare minimum. I also spoke of the best way to deal with this new reality. And these words also seem to be relevant today. If 2020 is a storm and Poland is a boat battered by incoming waves, we at Polityka Insight would like to be the crow’s nest. We don’t count the waves, we won’t predict when the sun will come out, we don’t have a map that will lead to safe, dry land. Our ambition is to stand out above the chaos, see just a bit more, and deliver to you, as soon as possible, the knowledge of coming events, dangers and glimpses of hope. This is the reason we have prepared this publication which tries to antici- pate the final months of this crazy year. Many of the things we wrote will come true, some will not. In the meantime, unexpected swans will flow in, whose existence we didn’t even imagine.

Od środowisk osób głuchych odbieraliśmy alarmujące sygnały, że niesłyszący czuli się wykluczeni nie tylko z dostępu do aktualnych informacji i zaleceń dotyczących sytuacji epidemiologicznej w Polsce, ale także często mieli problemy z uzyskaniem pomocy medycznej. W odpowiedzi na ich postulaty MFiPR wsparło uruchomienie wideoinfolinii dla osób niesłyszących, zapewniającej im dostęp do informacji związanych z pandemią Covid- 19. Wspólny projekt resortu, Fundacji PGNiG im. Ignacego Łukasiewicza i Polskiego Związku Głuchych realizuje konstytucyjne prawo równego dostępu do informacji dla wszystkich. Jednocześnie wychodzi naprzeciw potrzebom wielu instytucji publicznych.

Przepisy te nakładają na podmioty publiczne obligatoryjny wymóg zapewnienia dostępności do świadczonych przez nie usług każdemu, kto potrzebuje z nich skorzystać. Wideoinfolinia działa przez całą dobę, siedem dni w tygodniu. Wszystko po to, by osoby głuche, na równi z pozostałymi obywatelami, miały stały dostęp do wsparcia i możliwość skorzystania z pomocy. W akcję zaangażowani są tłumacze Polskiego Języka Migowego z całej Polski, którzy pracują w systemie zmianowym na smartfonach lub laptopach z dostępem do Internetu.

  • Risks & Trends 2021 26.02.2021 Download
    In search of the right questions A year ago, we forecast a year of uncertainty. Back in February, we talked about a mysterious virus, and the audience asked whether COVID-19 would be China’s 21st-century Chernobyl. This seemed like an exaggeration at the time, yet later turned out to be a grave understatement. One thing has remained unchanged these past 12 months. We still live in times of uncertainty. Therefore, let us beware of people who speak with conviction on what’s to come. We must learn to speak less, listen more and let humility be the signpost to our future. In recent years, we have become overwhelmed with data, analytics and expertise. All these are most certainly called for, but it is equally important to be aware of the variability and complexity of the phenomena we experience. The world we live in is not black and white, but contrarily, increasingly non-binary. The processes we observe have accelerated enormously. But they are still processes. The old world will not disappear, neither will a new one emerge over the weekend. Banks will not collapse, newspapers will not vanish, and the generation of politicians who remember the fall of the Berlin Wall will not throw in their towels and retire overnight. This does not change the fact that a reevaluation is taking place. To understand it, a conversation is required, as well as a new language. Tools are needed to name these processes and grasp this moment in time and its consequences. Only when we understand our circumstances and accept the indispensability of change, will we be able to influence it.

  • Warszawa, Dnia 28 Sierpnia 2020 R. Szanowny Pan Mateusz Morawiecki Prezes Rady Ministrów Szanowny Panie Premierze, Polska
    Warszawa, dnia 28 sierpnia 2020 r. Szanowny Pan Mateusz Morawiecki Prezes Rady Ministrów Szanowny Panie Premierze, Polska, Europa i Świat stoją dziś przed wyzwaniem walki z pandemią Covid-19. Trwające obecnie w Polskim Rządzie prace nad nowym rozporządzeniem w sprawie zakazu lotów, jakie ma obowiązywać od 2 września 2020 r. i ich wynik ma ogromne znaczenie dla branży lotniczej i turystycznej. Nadal aktualne pozostają postulaty wyrażone w poprzednim piśmie do Pana skierowanym w dniu 24 sierpnia 2020 r . Powodowani troską o miejsca pracy Polaków zatrudnionych w branży lotniczej i turystycznej, ale nie mniej o zdrowie Polaków zwracamy się z wnioskiem o uwzględnienie poniższych postulatów w pracach nad nowym rozporządzeniem. Po pierwsze nie budzi wątpliwości, iż samolot – co potwierdzają kolejne badania naukowe (np. przeprowadzone przez niemieckich wirusologów z Instytutu Wirusologii Uniwersytetu Goethego, opublikowane na łamach czasopisma naukowego JAMA Network Open) – w dobie pandemii jest najbezpieczniejszym środkiem transportu. Możliwość zarażenia się od współpasażera na pokładzie jest niska, a przy obowiązku noszenia maseczek podczas całego rejsu prawdopodobieństwo jeszcze spada. Przewoźnicy lotniczy dbają o przestrzeganie wszelkich norm sanitarnych, a także – co bardzo ważne – rygorystycznie wykonują obowiązki związane z uzyskiwaniem od pasażerów ankiet lokalizacyjnych i przestrzegają wymagań nałożonych na nich aktualnie obowiązującymi przepisami rozporządzenia z dnia 7 sierpnia 2020 r. w sprawie ustanowienia określonych ograniczeń, nakazów i zakazów w związku z wystąpieniem stanu epidemii (Dz. U. z 2020 r. poz. 1356). Dlatego też zakaz lotów do danego państwa przy zachowaniu możliwości podróżowania do niego np. drogą lądową nie sprzyja bezpieczeństwu osób odbywających podróż. W związku z tym apelujemy o racjonalne wprowadzanie zakazu lotów do poszczególnych krajów i równe traktowanie transportu lotniczego i lądowego.
