"After the decision of the president in thousands of homes across Poland, there was shock, bitterness and a sense of profession" - written in a letter from Polish authorities, the content of which was made available on the social media by Krystyna Janda. This is an expression of opposition to Karol Nawrocki's decision after vetoing the amendment of the law on assistance to Ukrainian citizens. The letter was signed by Jolanta Kwasniewska and Olga Tokarczuk.
"Letter opposition of Polish women" was published, among others, in social media actresses Krystine Jandy. The addressees are President of the Council of Ministers, Parliament, Senate and President of Poland.
Among those supporting the letter were the author Olga Tokarchuk, erstwhile associate Janina Ochoska, manager Agnes Holland And the erstwhile first ladies: Jolanta Kwasniewska, Danuta Wałęsa and Anna Komorowska. However, it was noted that the broadcasters are Polish women - mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, grandmothers.
A letter of women to politicians. "The Cold Calculation"
At the beginning of the letter there was a description of the case's background. As recalled, On August 25, president Karol Nawrocki announced a veto to amend the law on assisting Ukrainian citizens. "This decision and its accompanying language - announcements of the condition of helping the kid with the work of a parent, extending the way to citizenship, rekindling the disputes of memory - are not a substance of moods, but of cold political calculation" - it is written.
Broadcasters said it was a veto hits Ukrainian women in exile, as well as in their children, aged and sick. They besides added that Polish schools, doctors and local governments have suffered from this. "Instead of certainty (these decisions - ed.), they bring fear, alternatively of peace - Threat of separation of families, secondary migration and erosion of trust in the Polish state".

"Imagine that it is you who are at war in defence of your homeland, and the neighbouring country treats your wives, mothers and daughters as Policy hostages" - emphasized Polish women, who at the same time pointed out that after Karol Nawrocki's vetoe in many Polish houses there was a clear stir.
The Pole's Appeal after the President's decision. "Solidarity is not seasonal"
"Mothers who with children and sick parents have fled cities and villages turned to dust, present ask themselves where to run now. Women who They chose Poland out of love and trust, feeling that this love was not reciprocated. The kid is not a dead evidence in the bill, and the aid granted to them cannot be a lever of force on his mother" - it was written later in the letter.
From the news that Krystyna Janda - and the previously mentioned service - has given on social media the message that "Solidarity is not seasonal, it is not fashion". "If it is actual in March, it must besides be actual in August. Memory is not a baton. A country that, alternatively of curing wounds to history, reaches for easy symbols, does not build a community. The state can't be a street theater. A serious state chooses responsibility, not a political spectacle: procedures, clear message, protection of the weakest".

The letter highlights that Polish women do not want anyone on their behalf "to set conditions for women fleeing from war". "These bridges - not walls - make the neighbours allies, and predictable and just law and language of respect strengthen the safety of Poland more than populist screams from the speaker" - added.
"You who are the law"
Europe, including Poland, advocated the continuity of protection of civilians fleeing Russian aggression - noted. "It is our work to keep our word. This means 1 thing: to confirm publicly, clearly and without ambiguity that families who trusted Poland will not wake up next day in a legal vacuum; that the kid will not be punished for having no employment; that The language of power will not divide people into 'its own' and 'foreign'. For a kid and his single mother, the law is to be a shield, not a means of forcing loyalty and obedience on them. Politics is meant to be a service, not a spectacle".

At the end of the transmission letter they turned to the recipients - "You who constitute the law and represent the Republic" - to fix the situation. They stressed that the laws were meant to service people and "not political thunder". "This is simply a question about the face of the Republic. Whether it will be your word you keep - or your words thrown to the wind. Whether we stand on the side of mothers and children or on the side of fear."
Karol Nawrocki vetoed the law on helping Ukrainian citizens
Monday President Nawrocki stated at a press conference that did not sign an amendment to the Law on Assistance to Ukrainian Citizens. His decision was motivated, among others, by the fact that only those Ukrainians who work in Poland should receive the 800 plus benefit. He then announced his own legislative initiative on this matter.
- I'm sorry. The law on assistance to citizens of Ukraine does not make this adjustment, which was the subject of a public debate. I can't change my mind. and I believe that 800 plus should belong only to those Ukrainians who undertake to work in Poland. Similarly, wellness benefits - said Nawrocki.
