19.08.2021Prime Minister: Today, the state budget supports numerous projects crucial to both citizens and economic development“Today, we no longer have to sell off Poland’s national property.

That is our economic and industrial policy”, said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during his visit to the PESA company in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship, which recorded the highest revenues in 5 years in June 2020.
