21.09.2024The day the flood met politics
The flood situation in Poland dominated headlines, with focus shifting to political responses. Prime Minister Tusk visited affected areas, announcing an "Reconstruction Plus" plan. The government expanded the state of natural disaster to more localities. Criticism emerged over the authorities' preparedness and communication. The flood wave reached Głogów, prompting evacuation calls. Damage estimates surfaced, with initial figures around 3.6 billion złoty. Political maneuvering became apparent as Tusk appointed Kierwiński as flood commissioner, seen by some as a strategic move within the party. The opposition accused the government of mishandling the crisis. President Duda commented on document delays for Kierwiński's appointment. As evening approached, focus turned to long-term recovery plans and potential investigations into flood management failures.
