In an overview on Twitter, Tusk pointed out the swift recovery of PLN 600 billion from European Union funds, implemented raises for teachers and budget workers, and the impending introduction of the "granny allowance."
Traditionally afforded a 100-day grace period, Tusk noted this was a luxury his administration was denied. "We didn't get it," he remarked, emphasizing the lack of a peaceful start typically given to new governments.
Despite this, Tusk is adamant about accelerating his government's efforts to fulfill its electoral promises, famously listed in the "100 Concretes for the First 100 Days" campaign. The plan proposed sweeping reforms, including tax adjustments, childcare support enhancements, and significant changes in health care and education sectors.
In the video message posted on Twitter, Tusk admitted that his "biggest flaw is probably impatience. I always want everything to happen as soon as possible." Reflecting on the dense agenda set for the first 100 days, he acknowledged, "see how many things have happened, how many things we have settled, although I wanted, of course, faster and more as always."
He also highlighted the external adversities facing his government, including ongoing regional conflicts and inherited issues impacting various sectors, such as agriculture. He also mentioned the resistance from "a vetoing president, a chaotic and aggressive opposition, defending furiously its money and impunity," yet proudly declared that "the settlements have moved full steam ahead."
