The President’s office reiterated that his inauguration address of 6 August promised a “safe, rule‑of‑law, prosperous Poland with bold, large‑scale investments.” It noted that his proposals aim to speed state development, strengthen families, protect Polish agriculture and support the health system.

Co‑Government Blockers and “Marshal Veto” Debate
The office accused the ruling coalition of not only failing to implement its own promises but also hindering the Presidency’s needed reforms. It cited the Sejm marshal’s statement on obstruction of presidential initiatives.
It also highlighted that while the ruling coalition criticizes the President’s use of the veto, it has employed its own veto against 100 % of his proposals, according to the office.
Eleven of Nawrocki’s bills remain unprocessed in the Sejm as listed in the office’s communiqué.
