Karol Nawrocki's decision to veto the law on assistance to Ukrainian citizens met mixed reactions to the Polish political scene. The wave of criticism came from the expected direction – from the politicians of the ruling coalition. Praise is not necessarily the case. The presidential veto is pleased, among others, with Confederate politicians and... erstwhile Prime Minister Leszek Miller.
On Monday, president Karol Nawrocki reported on the veto of the Act on assistance to Ukrainian citizens and the signing of respective another legal acts, which he sent the government to the Presidential Palace. The deficiency of signature for the Ukrainians' aid task was peculiarly critical of the ruling.
The president declared that he did not sign the bill due to the fact that there was no provision in it that would make payment of the benefit 800 plus for Ukrainians from taking up work.
“800 plus is money for and for children. Children who are not liable for whether their parent has a job, whether she has lost it, whether she is looking after a sick grandma or a newborn," criticized Nawrock's head of MPPiPS Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk. "Work should be appreciated. After losing work, you request to encourage and aid find a fresh job. But you can't punish for losing your occupation – especially innocent children. It's an abc of human decency. Shame that she lacked the President," added the minister.
On the another hand, the Minister of Digitalism Krzysztof Gawkowski stated that his veto "disabled the net of Ukraine", due to the fact that the blocked task included money for subscription to the Starlink network.
"Karol Nawrocki shuts down the net of Ukraine by his decision, due to the fact that it de facto means his decision concerning the law on assistance to Ukrainian citizens. This is the end of the Starlink Internet, which Poland provides to the war-torning Ukraine. This is besides the end of support for storing data of the Ukrainian administration in a safe place," Gawkowski said.
The veto was praised by Confederate politicians. "It is very good that president Nawrocki vetoed the law on assisting Ukrainian citizens. The only organization that has opposed this bill for respective years has been the Confederate. The next tens of billions of zlotys that flowed to Ukraine were the joint work of Platforma, PIS, PSL. Let us remember that," said Krzysztof Mulawa.
Surprisingly, he supported the decision to veto the civilian Aid Act Ukraine is besides the erstwhile Prime Minister Leszek Miller. "President Nawrocki felt that the 800+ benefit should be granted only to those Ukrainian citizens who are taking up work in Poland. The bill he vetoed was a government project, extending the right to supply educational services to all Ukrainians in our country," said the erstwhile head of the SLD government.
