In a press conference in Lublin, Poland's Left MP Adrian Zandberg proposed taxing private jets used by millionaires, with the revenue directed towards expanding the European rail network.

"The money from these taxes should be used to expand the European rail network, to make this transport a viable alternative to aviation," Zandberg stated.
Zandberg emphasized the need for increased European funding to enhance local connections and build high-speed railroads, adding that "a lot still needs to be done to strengthen public transportation in Europe," which also involves policies to reduce CO2 emissions.
He warned that a victory for the Christian Democrats in the upcoming European Parliament elections would maintain the status quo, favoring big corporations over ordinary people.
According to Zandberg, a win for the Left would lead to investments in public transportation, housing, wage increases, and economic equalization. He also cautioned against the far-right's intentions to destabilize the European Union.
Poland's elections for the European Parliament will be held on June 9, with 53 deputies to be elected.
