Polish parliament to vote on cohabitation bills that mainly focus on asset rights, with president expected to veto.
Legislative Process Underway in Sejm
Polish Sejm has begun work on two government bills concerning the status of close persons in relationships and cohabitation agreements, along with implementing regulations.
The first reading of these legislative proposals is scheduled for Thursday.
Limited LGBT+ Rights in Compromise
The projects result from a long-negotiated compromise after the previous partnership proposal failed to gain acceptance from part of the ruling coalition.
Although intended to address LGBT+ community expectations, the bills provide only minimal equality measures and primarily focus on financial matters rather than full equality for same-sex and opposite-sex couples.
Presidential Veto Likely
There is significant probability that the parliament-developed solutions will face presidential veto regardless of their specific content.
