A wave of criticism hit the Polish government. The reason is the extremely strange way of informing the population about the flood, as the website about the flood started working only a few days after the disaster began. Gazeta reports this today, September 19.
Netizens criticised the government on social media for misleading information about the flood. And just a few days later, the country’s Ministry of Digitalisation announced the launch of a new website where you can find all the important and verified information.
“We are launching a government website that will contain information on the current situation, forms of assistance to citizens and businesses, as well as service announcements.” – said the Polish Minister of Digital Technologies Krzysztof Gawkowski.
“All important and verified information about the flood will be in one place. We will constantly update the portal and introduce new features. Find out how to get help or how to provide assistance for floods.” – added the head of the department, who does not like to rush.
The new website was launched after overwhelming public criticism of the government on social media. In addition, the statement by the Minister of Climate and Environment Pauline Hennig-Kloska The announcement of preferential loans to eliminate the consequences of the floods caused a real storm. However, he later clarified that the loans would only be granted to municipalities and not to the victims of the floods.
