- I'm sorry. I had to. two laws mention to the Sejm, to be re-identified due to the fact that I will not let higher education institutions to be hit in Poland stressed Duda. We're talking about the Copernicus Academy and the Justice Academy.
Andrzej Duda: This is simply a typical jump on the stools, I do not agree to this
In his argument, the president stated that the first of these universities was created on the anniversary of Copernicus, while its task was to the fame of fields where Polish astronomer Mikołaj Kopernik specialized. The facility was to do so through extended global cooperation.

It is worth noting that The government decided to close the university after 3 years of activity. The reasons were to include financial irregularities, insignificant technological effects and low efficiency.
The case of the Academy of Justice is in his opinion "absolute infringement of university autonomy". - First of all, it's just a human resources takeover. It's about throwing out the current university authorities. That's what this legislative change comes down to. To replace them with their own people. It's a typical job. That's why I don't agree. - explained.
Andrzej Duda: kid safety
In turn the 3rd bill, addressed by Duda to the TK, affects adolescents. It assumes that patients who are 13 years of age will have the chance to receive intellectual assistance without the consent of a caregiver.
The current law states that people under the age of 18 must have approval to contact a psychologist. The amendment of the Patient Rights Act and the Patient Rights Ombudsman would abolish this formality. The specialist would have 7 days to notify the parent or guardian of the kid with the support given - unless this endangers the patient's life.
- I'm sorry. It's not a veto.. This time, the bill is directed by me to the TK in preventive mode. The origin is very simple. It's about children's safety. In my opinion, is very dubious constitutionallyso that completely out of the control of parents, a young 13-year-old man could choose a scientist and submit to his therapies. It's a complex problem. It's a question of kid safety and parents' rights. - argued Andrzej Duda.
