However, Kropiwnicki’s asset declaration does not disclose where his apartments are located, which raises questions about whether he can benefit from the allowance.

However, the MP did not answer “Fakt”‘s questions about where the apartments were located.
Kropiwnicki’s apartments, valued in total at PLN 3,654,642, are relatively cheap considering the real estate market. The most expensive property, measuring 100 square meters, was valued at PLN 550,000. PLN, which in the case of the capital seems to be an extremely low amount for such area – notes the daily.

Kropiwnicki is not the only one who benefits from housing allowance, despite owning several properties.

One thief left, another one came, and they have been wandering back and forth for 35 years, and stupid Poles just ignore it and applaud it.
A sick country and parliamentary regulations in agony. This is how you are being milked, dear taxpayers, MPs and senators, regardless of their political option. How can such antics be allowed, God you see, and you don’t thunder????

and apparently an apartment is a right, not a commodity, and by the way, how much was transferred to the platform’s account during the elections from developers

Shame, lack of honor. But people without class are never enough. Unfed piglets are available in every option. When incomes are high, they still reach out. Poor guys!!
Politicians should be obliged to provide the city and Land and Mortgage Register numbers in this application.
Koryto plus, and PiS barked so much, is anyone in the Sejm controlling these additions? Maybe Szymuś will do something about it? No, no one will do it, because every rake is drawn to itself. The robbery of Poles continues.
Poland – a country full of corruption, theft, sinecures and stupidity (see the nation that does not understand what inflation is).
STOP zero percent credit. Stop artificially inflating the real estate market.
Oh, Look! Politicians Playing Monopoly on Taxpayer Money
Gather ’round, dear readers, and let’s have a laugh—though it might be more of a bitter chuckle—at the antics of Robert Kropiwnicki, a fine MP from the Civic Platform. You see, our friend Kropiwnicki has more apartments than most of us have socks. Twelve, to be exact! That’s a whopping total area of 642 square meters. But what’s even more precious than all those square meters? That sweet, sweet PLN 3,500 a month housing allowance he’s pocketing from the Chancellery of the Sejm. And who’s funding this little apartment reality show? You guessed it—taxpayers!
Now, let’s digest the rules for applying for this housing allowance. Apparently, it’s only for MPs who aren’t registered in Warsaw, don’t own a place there, or aren’t crashing in the Deputies’ House. Well, hold onto your monocles, because Kropiwnicki’s asset declaration mysteriously does not disclose where his 12 properties are located. So, unless he’s got a magical portal that transports him from all those homes straight to the capital’s coffee shops, it raises an eyebrow—or two! If even one of those properties is in Warsaw, our dear MP should really be returning that rent money faster than you can say “audit.”
But let’s not be too quick to judge. After all, Kropiwnicki’s properties are valued at a scandalously low PLN 3,654,642. That’s just about enough to buy a couple of shoeboxes in most of the civilized world! The priciest pad he’s flaunting is a grand 100-square-meter beauty worth just PLN 550,000. In Warsaw? You’d think that comes with a free parking space and an angry neighbor named “Viktor.”
Join the Club: Housing Allowance for All!
And wouldn’t you know it, Kropiwnicki isn’t alone in this little housing allowance bonanza. According to “Fakt,” he has quite a few colleagues sharing the spoils. A whopping 211 MPs are benefiting from this juicy allowance, including one Maciej Małecki from PiS with his five properties, and Dariusz Wieczorek from the Left, who boasts six. The grand total? The Chancellery of the Sejm forks out over PLN 817,000 per month for housing allowances! What a lovely little arrangement, isn’t it? They might as well throw in complimentary lattes.
The Reckoning
Now, let’s discuss the comments, because they are the real comedy gold! One kind soul laments the utter chaos: “The country is being milked, dear taxpayers!” Couldn’t have said it better myself! It’s like watching a bizarre performance art show where politicians compete to see who can be the biggest moocher. And then we have comments about the need for MPs to disclose their property addresses… because apparently, transparency is a suggestion, not a requirement in politics!
Another commenter noted, “Shame, lack of honor. But people without class are never enough.” You think? It’s like a buffet line of bad behavior—though it feels less like “all-you-can-eat” and more like “all-you-can-bag without guilt.”
Conclusion: Laugh or Cry?
In conclusion, as we dissect the absurdity dribbling from our political system, remember this: humor is one thing, but accountability? Well, that seems to have checked out faster than Kropiwnicki could say “housing allowance.” So, let’s raise a glass (of taxpayer coffee, presumably) to all the MPs currently playing real estate roulette. Here’s hoping someone holds them accountable before the next lottery ticket turns into a government subsidy! Cheers!
