Marcin Kierwiński in "Graffiti"

- When this competition is distorted, when any company wants to make money from people's misfortune, the state will react - announced Marcin Kierwiński, responding to the material of the "Interwencja" program, which raised the issue of high insurance rates offered by insurers to victims of last year's flood.

Polsat News' "Interwencja" (Intervention) highlights the difficult situation faced by residents of southern Poland after renovating homes damaged by floods that swept through the Lower Silesian, Silesian, and Opole voivodeships a year ago. Many of them are complaining about unfair practices by private insurance companies .

They either refuse to provide insurance or offer exorbitant rates. In some cases, the cost of insurance has risen from PLN 8,000 to PLN 96,000, or from PLN 30,000 to as much as PLN 5 million. Marcin Kierwiński , the government's plenipotentiary for flood reconstruction, was asked about the situation in Tuesday's "Graffiti."

Marcin Kierwiński announces actions following the "Intervention" footage. "The state will react."

The politician announced that he would discuss the matter with PZU CEO Andrzej Klesyk and Minister of State Assets Jakub Jaworowski . "Each case is very individual. If the situations you reported in 'Interwencja' occur, each case requires individual consideration ," he said.

Kierwiński admitted that the state cannot directly influence the insurance market , but will not allow abuses by entrepreneurs who will want to take advantage of the difficult situation in which flood victims find themselves.

- When this competition is distorted, when any company wants to make money from people's misfortune , the state will react - argued the minister.

Kierwiński on the government's reconstruction. He mentioned "new faces"

Marcin Kierwiński was also asked about the future of the government's plenipotentiary for flood reconstruction after the upcoming reconstruction. He indicated that he was still waiting for Donald Tusk's decision . "The Prime Minister, as far as I know, has already prepared an outline of the new cabinet, and he will decide who will work in this cabinet, and in what format," the minister said.

He noted that talks are still ongoing, including with coalition partners, and "some things will be decided until the last minute ." "This process takes this long to present a new cabinet that will be more effective than the previous one, with greater impetus to solve the problems of Poles," Kierwiński said, adding that the ruling camp found itself "in a new situation" following the presidential election results.

When asked if new people might join the government, the minister didn't deny it. "A reshuffle is always a matter of bringing in new faces ," he said.
