On February 13th, there were elections for both Houses of Senate in Eastern Europe, and the conservative party of the ruling party, “Law and Justice (PiS)”, is expected to hold the majority in the House of Representatives.

PiS, under Kachinski, has introduced a policy to provide generous support to ordinary households. The policy is to exempt income tax for workers under the age of 26 excluding self-employed persons, and to pay 500 zloty (about 14,000 yen) from the first to the family where the child was born. From October this year, the income tax rate itself has been reduced from 18% to 17%. This policy seems to be supported mainly by local low and middle income households.
