Czarnek's nomination is a surprise. Just before the PiS convention in Krakow, there was more talk about second-row politicians, primarily local government officials associated with Jarosław Kaczyński's party.
However, it was the former voivode of Lublin and minister of science in the government of Mateusz Morawiecki who gained the favor of the PiS president and has a chance to become the head of government in next year's elections. Provided, of course, Jarosław Kaczyński's party gains adequate support from Poles.
Przemysław Czarnek's estate
What is included in the declaration of assets of a potential prime minister? It turns out that not much.
In the document from last year (we should know this year's statements within a few weeks) there are only a few items there. That's 15 thousand. PLN savings and 5% share in the inheritance, which includes part of the house, plot and apartment. The value is 60 thousand. zloty.
Apart from that, Czarnek has nothing. Not a house, not an apartment, not even a car worth more than PLN 10,000. zloty. However, he has a loan in Swiss francs (less than 75,000 francs remain to be repaid) and a loan from the Sejm (about PLN 20,000 remains to be repaid).
So it turns out that The PiS candidate's savings for prime minister are less than his average monthly salary. Czarnek earned over PLN 260,000 in 2024. PLN, which is over 20 thousand. PLN per month.
126 thousand PLN is the diet and parliamentary emoluments, over 100,000. this is copyright revenues from the Catholic University of Lublin and almost PLN 35,000. PLN from the European Central Academy.
Czarnek's disappearing house
The former minister of science did not include a 220-meter house in his asset declaration, which together with the plot is worth approximately PLN 1 million. How do we know this? From last year's statement.
At that time, Czarnek's fortune was much more substantial. So what has changed? This question was asked by the ex-minister “Fakt”
The MP contacted the daily's editorial office and explained that In November 2023, he notarially transferred his shares in the mentioned properties to his wife. He also submitted a correction to his asset declaration.
