On 6 November, Polish President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the 26 September 2025 law on compulsory insurance, arguing that it weakens citizen protection and must be a state duty.
Veto of Mandatory Insurance Law
On Thursday, 6 November, President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the September 26, 2025 law that would amend the Compulsory Insurance Act, the Insurance Guarantee Fund, and the Commercial Insurance Office. The veto was announced in a statement from the President’s Office.
President Cites Protection of Citizens
The president’s office said the law would undermine the protection of citizens against unlawful practices by large financial corporations. He noted that the regulation would remove the oversight of the Financial Supervisory Commission—whose mission is to ensure the financial market remains a safe space for all users—thereby exposing the insured to the risk of delayed compensation to victims. The president stresses that protecting the citizen is the state’s duty.
Additional Laws Signed on Same Day
On the same day, Nawrocki signed two other laws: one amending the public‑funded health‑care benefits act, and another providing state assistance to ship owners in connection with the cod fishing ban in the Baltic Sea.
