The Parliamentary Left Club intends to submit a parliamentary bill regarding the liquidation of the church fund – Łukasz Michnik spokesman for the new left spokesman informed PAP. According to him, the club will submit a project most likely after a summer break.


At the end of March this year. The head of MRPiPS Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk (left) announced that she had submitted an application for entry in the list of legislative work of the government of the draft law liquidating the church fund. Among the changes, co -financing of contributions for pensions and pensions of clergy by these people and churches was proposed. “We would like this division to be 50 out of 50, or 50 percent of contributions, is paid by a clergy person, 50 % church, in which a person performs his function or simply works” – she added.
The great property of the Polish church was revealed. Almost half a billion zlotys in real estate
Thousands of hectares, luxury hotels, tenements, apartments. The property of the diocese is worth half a billion zlotys. Wirtualna Polska reveals on Monday what real estate they have Polish dioceses and what property bishops manage.
However, the project still did not go to the list of legislative work of the government. As Michnik, the Lewica Club reported on Wednesday, after making an appropriate decision among MPs – will submit a project regarding the liquidation of the church fund as a parliamentary project. “Of course, everything is still responsible for the club, but one should expect such a result,” he emphasized.
“There is obviously no political will to implement this project in the government, so if not the door with windows,” said Michnik.
Asked when the Left Club decides to submit a project to the Sejm, he said that most likely after a summer break.
The project will break down about PSL
The idea of a leftist assuming the liquidation of the church fund is criticized by PSL. MP Jarosław Rzepa told PAP that the PSL club would not vote for this project in the Sejm. In his opinion, if we want to lead to crises and huge problems in some parishes, “this left project is okay.” “If we want to lead to even larger perturbations, let's do it. The only question is whether this is a good way. I think that not necessarily” – emphasized MP PSL.
When asked whether there are any conversations between the leftist's policies and the president of PSL Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Rzepa said that there is no such knowledge.
In January last year The inter -ministerial team for the church fund has been established, which is to develop a concept of changing the functioning of the church fund and the principles of financing contributions and benefits from social insurance as well as health insurance for clergy. It was headed by Deputy Prime Minister, head of the Ministry of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
At the end of February Kosiniak-Kamysz said he was a supporter of the exchange of the church fund into a tax copy.
The church fund was established pursuant to the Act of 20 March 1950. According to the assumptions, it was to be a form of compensation for churches and religious associations for land real estate taken over from them. The property mass was to be created from these properties, from which the income was to be divided between churches in proportion to the size of the property taken.
95 percent The expenditure of the church fund is currently social security contributions. It is used by all religious associations operating in Poland, including those that did not operate in our country in 1950 and did not lose any real estate. (PAP)
