Polish PM says 2021 budget 'rational compromise'

The government-proposed 2021 budget bill is a "rational compromise" between Poland's possibilities and aspirations, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Facebook on Thursday as the parliament continues to debate the bill. On Wednesday, Poland's Sejm held a several hours-long debate on the 2021 draft budget law envisaging an 18.3 billion euro budget deficit. "The budget that we have proposed is a rational compromise between the possibilities and aspirations of Poland and Poles, one that facilitates their functioning and development in times of economic uncertainty," the prime minister wrote.
