“A huge waste.” Balcerovich sharply criticized the Khmer Rouge’s construction

– Poland will become a metropolis, we will see this in a few years. All the big cities in Poland will participate in the project.The railway network we propose, which is in the preparation and financing phase, will be the railways that connect the largest cities to the capital and to each other. A dense network will serve real passenger flows, not an ideological invention. Tusk announced that the starting point of the project will be the “igrek”, a high-speed railway connecting Warsaw and Łódź, with a branch to Warsaw and Wroclaw.

He commented on the statement of the head of government Prof. Leszek Balcerovich He was quoted by Gazeta Wyborcza during a debate organized by the Civic Forum for Development Foundation.

– I heard various slogans that Poland is becoming a metropolis, and therefore a new national airport must be built. Holonya also believes this, but he does not reveal on what basis. Various nationalist myths should be debunked, such as the fact that maintaining infrastructure is the sole responsibility of the state. Balcerowicz.

He added that the UK’s largest airport is privately owned, as are Zurich, Rome and Tokyo. However, Madrid and Barcelona are examples of airports that are partly privately owned.

– When the first aircraft arrives in Baranów, let’s say in 2032, the future of Chopin Airport will be decided. Assuming that Baranów will have 34 million passengers, the functionality of Okęcie will certainly change. This is a very ambitious goal, and we have been working on it for weeks. Okęcie aims to realize the communication capabilities of the future, solutions are still under development. Drones operate on various routes. There is no doubt that in a few years this revolution will take place. Tusk said Oxy is ideally placed to become a 21st century air transport hub.

Prof. Balcerowicz: – For most Warsaw residents, closing Okęcie is a good prospect, as they will need to walk further to get to the airport. I wish the construction of the CPK would not have happened. It was an example of a huge waste. When the state budget is in a fiscal crisis, should passenger comfort become worse and cost PLN 500 billion? It does not make any sense. It’s a display of hubris that people ultimately won’t buy. Our task, he concluded, is to deny this cheap populism.
