President explains his veto power
In a recording released by the President’s Office, Nawrocki said he has signed 115 laws and vetoed 17. He stated that a veto is not a political gesture but a demonstration of responsibility and the voice of citizens. According to him, each veto aims to eliminate poorly drafted laws and compel the government to produce better legislation. He also noted that he frequently presents alternative drafts that are more beneficial for Poles.
Appeal to the Tusk cabinet: work smarter
Nawrocki urged the government to stop adding legislative addendums and add‑on provisions. He cited examples such as the Ukrainian law, the electricity shield law that had wind‑turbine lobby provisions, and the strategic reserve storage law. After each veto the bills returned to him with problematic clauses removed, proving that veto pressure works. He warned that while vetoes are inconvenient for the government, they serve the interests of Poles. He urged the government to work better and smarter to prevent future vetoes.
