The planet is undergoing a "revolution of common sense" that absorbs another countries and changes the overall economical and social climate. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the large conservative identity change implemented by Donald Trump is nothing more than an anturas of taking over by business. highly wealthy gentlemen, convinced of their own genius, were sick of submission to governments and social expectations. They decided to usage fashion for conservatism and their influences, connections and money to take over. The Polish economical model has been based on copying solutions implemented in the West for 3 decades, so the fresh trend rapidly reached the Vistula River.
Is Polish business utilizing the American table?
The fresh economical programme of the government, presented at a conference organized under the motto “Poland. The year of the breakthrough", was only a announcement of a change from a statistic to pro-business liberalism. If individual hoped to present a detailed improvement plan and pro-development spending, they must have been seriously disappointed. We have heard general declarations aimed at informing business – and by the way the public – that the current government has sensed the current coming from across the ocean and intends to sail with it without reflection.
The foundation of the upcoming economical growth, which, according to Minister Andrzej Domański, will amount to 4% this year, would have investments. According to Donald Tusk, they will scope at least PLN 650 billion this year, most likely even around 700 billion, which would nominally be a historical record. However, it is not about mobilising public funds on a immense scale, it is about the full investment planned or already implemented by the public and private sectors. And the another one's expected to give the tone.
The Prime Minister reported that Google's investments were being made, Amazon, IBM and Microsoft in Poland. He talks intensively with the boards of these American giants, so that shortly the investment plans of these companies on the Vistula River will be seen. As can be seen, it is only about US companies, which should not be amazing – present the global power is primarily taken over by the business, so information about the plans of any companies from Sweden to the Polish marketplace would not fit the speech of the conference. It was about sending a clear signal that Poland is ready to participate in an operation conducted by American techoligarch. By the way, quite a few the cake will go to the Polish business – after all Americans will not eat everything themselves.
It can be assumed, then, that during these talks the Prime Minister offered big techom large taxation credits and another profits in exchange for the location of investments in Poland. That's not peculiarly disturbing. Relief for investors from the most technologically advanced industries, thanks to which Poland will decision higher in the global division of labour and production chains, can be justified and per balance very favorable (although they do not gotta – the devil is in the details). I supported the relief for Intel, so I will not live on these for Microsoft or Alphabet (Google). It is simply a pity that the current ruling squad lacks specified a consequence – subsidies granted to Intel by the Law and Justice Service were hysterically criticized by the then liberal opposition and its close media.
Modernisation alternatively of decarbonisation
Other pro-business statements make anxiety. The Minister of Finance announced, among others, the abolition of alleged taxation strategies. This is the reporting work imposed in the second word of the Law and Justice Office to study on the largest companies to seal CIT. According to Domanski, it's no good for anyone, so we'll be saying goodbye soon. It can be assumed that the general attitude of the National taxation Administration will be even more submissive to business, and the fiscal controls are rarer and much little inquisitive.
Tusk and Domański besides outlined an energy strategy. The rulers were no longer talking about climate or zero emission, but about lowering prices and the essential energy transformation, which can be understood as modernisation alternatively than decarbonisation. It is pleased that the government intends to focus on the improvement of atomic power – not only on the continuation of a task launched by the Law and Justice Department by the American Westinghouse, but besides on the construction of a second installation of this kind in Pomerania. PGE for PLN 30 billion will set up a immense wind farm in the Baltic Sea. At the same time, Minister Domański announced a simplification in the taxation on mining of minerals, as "Poland needs investment, including in mining". The Trumpist "drill, baby, Drill" did not die, but the sense is the same – according to the government the operation of Polish deposits of various kinds should be increased. In this field, the shift of the control is possibly most noticeable.
Deregulation action
It's about the chills that gives the announcement of large deregulation. Especially since there is already 1 proposal on the table for changes by the Minister of improvement Krzysztof Paszyk from PSL (and earlier Krzysztof Hetman, who evacuated to the European Parliament). As with the PSL, the task is very unsuccessful and antisocial, but it is peculiarly beneficial for entrepreneurs, so it fits as well for the present times. It will most likely only be a starting point, as the rulers want to plan deregulation changes together with business. First, Donald Tusk directed the offer to a billionaire Rafała BrzoskiInPost's CEO.
"We must join together in this deregulation. That's how I look at you, Mr. Rafale. Mr. Rafał Brzoska is here. I've been reading any 2 interviews recently, one, 2 statements that deregulation is not hard and you just gotta want to, and that you just know what to do. If it's concrete, it's concrete, you're on it. (...) I am sorry to put you in an awkward position, Mr Rafale, but what, you take it?” Tusk said at the conference.
It is hard to believe that these words, which sounded like 2 decades ago, died in 2025. The government not only intends to deregulation by power, but besides wants to do it under the hand of business. Not with a broad social side – including business, but with trade unions and consumer associations – but only with the former. Peaches himself understood the message well and clearly noted that Tusk's call was actually aimed at the full business, not just him. However, the presentation of this plan clearly shows that the government is ready to take care of the interests of circumstantial Polish billionaires.
All chips on the US
At the conference, there was no mention to EU policy – as if the government intended to get out of the possible conflict of the United States with the European Union, all chips betting on the US. At least in the economical field, but in the safety area we've been hanging on them for a long time. This is rather an unexpected strategy, as the Polish state was so far under intensive Euro-Atlantic relations. The government could usage the conference to rise the demands concerning Poland in the EU. For example, the abolition of the fiscal rules contained in the Maastricht Treaty, which hinder the improvement of Europe and impose strict budgetary discipline on Poland related to the excessive deficit procedure.
Additional public resources will be needed to increase investment, at least as an impetus. large Tech relief is simply a budget cost. The abolition of the EU's fiscal discipline could become the flagship of the Polish European policy, but unfortunately – Tusk and Domański seemingly lacked imagination. The only thought of the government for the close future is to connect the Polish car to a speeding American train.
