Jerzy Zi\u0119ba visited the Presidential Palace on July 30 to submit a petition against the “lex quackery” bill, prompting Chief of Staff Zbigniew Bogucki to admit the meeting was a mistake. <\/p>\n
Last Thursday, July 30, Jerzy Zi\u0119ba appeared at the Presidential Palace to submit a petition against the “lex quackery” bill. S\u0142awomir Mazurek, designated by the president for this topic, led the meeting, which Zi\u0119ba described on social media as fantastic, substantive, and calm, backed by approximately 25,000 signatures.<\/p>\n
A presidential official told Newsweek that the meeting was strictly about the petition and that Karol Nawrocki did not know about it. The insider stated they do not authorize the individuals or environments submitting petitions, calling the meeting a courtesy.<\/p>\n
Appearing on RMF FM’s morning program on Thursday, August 6, Zbigniew Bogucki was asked by Tomasz Terlikowski about the newly disclosed visit. Bogucki responded that mistakes happen within the president’s broad administration, noting the meeting was arranged by a staff member rather than a minister or the president.<\/p>\n
He assured that the controversial entrepreneur’s visit has no bearing on the decision regarding “lex quackery.” Bogucki reiterated that mistakes happen given the wide administration and good-faith actions of various people, adding that it was a plain mistake and it would have been better had the meeting not occurred.<\/p>\n
Bogucki emphasized that the bill is being analyzed by the Law and System Bureau and the presidential medical council, noting his own participation in talks with parliamentarians, including those from the ruling camp who oppose the legislation.<\/p>\n
He mentioned receiving petitions from herbal practitioners and the Business Centre Club pointing out flaws in the bill, while Terlikowski asked if Nawrocki is considering a veto. Bogucki replied that every bill is weighed for signing, vetoing, or referral to the Constitutional Tribunal, acknowledging the unprecedented interest from patient and business communities.<\/p>\n
Bogucki stated that reasonable people agree fraudsters preying on human suffering must be pursued and eradicated. Regardless of the bill’s fate, he suggested the prime minister and Minister \u017burek utilize criminal code instruments, prosecutors, and police teams to catch, charge, and try such individuals.<\/p>\n
The regulation, prepared by the Ministry of Health with the Patient Rights Ombudsman, allows the ombudsman to issue public warnings and temporary decisions stopping harmful practices before proceedings end. The ombudsman also gains the right to initiate and participate in civil proceedings for patient rights on par with a prosecutor, while the law separates legal, safe herbalism from dangerous quackery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
