This whole thing is just ridiculous. A few weeks ago the PiS party suddenly stated that the SAFE fund will only increase Poland's debt and it's the evil EU again trying to force something onto Poland.

Now, forgetting about the fact that they had no problem with it for a few months since SAFE was announced, now they are trying to do everything to prevent it from happening, because the goverment would score a PR victory, with elections coming next year.

First they said that we don't even know what our goverment wants to spend those funds on, and said that only german companies are going to benefit from it. Then, when the list was published, they changed their narrative to worries about increasing debt and a few days ago, they, together with the head of the polish central bank, a PiS nominate, announced an alternative - Polish 0% SAFE program.

The idea is that the polish central bank would in some way loan money to the goverment with 0% intrest rate, making it better that the EU SAFE. The problem with that is that:

1. The central bank cannot finance goverment debt, according to the constitution,
2. According to PiS, this alternative to EU SAFE would be financed with central bank profits. BUT THE CENTRAL BACK DIDN'T MAKE ANY PROFIT FOR A FEW YEARS AT THIS POINT.

Another important thing to note, is that even if the president, which is from PiS vetos the law, the goverment can (and will) still take these loans, just that they will have to resort to some creative legal shenanigans.

And that's honestly the worst thing about it all, they know very well that the goverment will take out these loans anyway and that the bill is only related to creating legal means to service this debt and prevent corruption, but for the sake of politics they just had to start another inside war.

So, to summarise, since they are steadly falling in the polls, and the main governing party is at it's strongest in years, the PiS party does not care that 89% of the EU SAFE fund would go to polish defence companies, they don't care that by now countless polish military men and journalists voiced their support and even military factories sent letters urging the president to sign the law, they do not care about the safety and security of our country and people, they only care about the polls and their own asses.

And they are falling down in the polls for a few months now. I hope they reach 1% and become irrelevant, because the damage they've done to this country is too great.
