The Left wants to abolish the Church Fund. "We have a provision in the coalition agreement"

The Left party in Poland is advocating for the abolition of the Church Fund, emphasizing the need for a secular state. Włodzimierz Czarzasty highlighted the coalition agreement that supports secular principles and questioned the financial privileges of the clergy. He argued for equal legal treatment of clergy and proposed that churches should self-finance. The initiative aims to address perceived inequalities in taxation and social security contributions for clergy. Anna Maria Żukowska noted that the Church Fund was originally established to compensate for losses incurred before World War II, but she argued that the Church has since regained more assets than it lost. Minister Dariusz Klimczak criticized the Left's motives, suggesting they seek political gain rather than genuine reform.
