Polish ruling party to unveil election programme near end of summer

Poland's ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party will present its programme for the upcoming parliamentary election at the end of August or in early September, PM's Office head Michal Dworczyk told PR24, a Polish public radio broadcaster. In ideological terms, there will be "no revolutionary changes," Dworczyk said. "The dignity of man will continue to be our central goal and we'll be trying to build a country according to a solidarity-republican model through the implementation of subsequent projects," the ruling party politician said. The conservative but socially-oriented PiS has introduced a number of social subsidy programmes, including the popular 500 Plus monthly child allowance, annual bonuses to pensioners and schoolchildren.
