Szydło: There will be a PiS project
On Monday, MEP and former Prime Minister Beata Szydło announced that after Easter, the Law and Justice Club will submit a draft bill restoring zero VAT on food.

– PiS will certainly always be on your side and Tusk’s poverty, which we remember from the times when he was previously in power, will not return to Poland.

I hope you will take this into account in the next local government elections, Szydło said during a press conference.
