The National Recovery Plan
Close to half of Polish people surveyed (49%) think that the European Commission’s delay in approving Poland’s National Recovery Plan and transferring money from the EU’s recovery fund is an unacceptable form of putting pressure on the Polish government. Almost a third of respondents (31%) approve of the EC’s course of action.
Delaying of approval for the National Recovery Plan is seen as an acceptable form of pressure on the government by supporters of the Civic Coalition (75%), the Left (71%) and Szymon Hołownia’s Poland 2050 party (65%). Those objecting to the EC’s course of action are, above all, most Law and Justice supporters (83%) but also a majority of declared Confederation voters (67%).
More on this subject in the CBOS report.
This ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey (377) was conducted using a mixed-mode procedure on a representative sample of named adult residents of Poland, randomly selected from the National Identity Number (PESEL) register.
Respondents independently selected one of the following methods:
– Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI);
– Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), respondents receiving researchers’ telephone numbers in an introductory letter from CBOS;
– Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), where respondents filled in the online questionnaire independently, gaining access by means of a login and password provided in an introductory letter from CBOS.
– Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI);
– Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), respondents receiving researchers’ telephone numbers in an introductory letter from CBOS;
– Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), where respondents filled in the online questionnaire independently, gaining access by means of a login and password provided in an introductory letter from CBOS.
In all three cases the questionnaire had the same structure and comprised the same questions. The survey was carried out between 4 – 14 October 2021 inclusive on a sample of 1161 people (55.2% using the CAPI method, 28.9% CATI and 15.9% CAWI).
CBOS has been conducting statutory research using the above procedure since May 2020, stating in each case the percentage of personal, telephone and internet interviews.
