On Tuesday, June 18, 2024, Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of Law and Justice party, celebrated his 75th birthday. On this occasion, in addition to numerous congratulations, he is entitled to an additional benefit from the Social Insurance Institution.
Additional Benefit for the President
On the occasion of his 75th birthday, Kaczyński is entitled to a care allowance, currently amounting to 330 PLN and 7 groszy per month. This allowance is automatically granted to all individuals who have reached the age of 75, without the need to submit additional documents. It is intended for individuals in particularly difficult health situations, requiring constant care or support.
Gift from Party Members
In addition to the additional benefit, Kaczyński can expect a gift from members of his party. Marek Suski, in an interview with RMF FM, confirmed that Law and Justice MPs will contribute to a special gift for their leader, although details of this gift have not been disclosed.
Wishes and Reflections
During the „Graffiti” program on Polsat News, Law and Justice MP Radosław Fogiel mentioned that Jarosław Kaczyński would be most pleased with a book, although the best gift would be the end of the current government’s actions, a government that he criticizes as the leader of Law and Justice.
