Today, the President of the Republic of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, announced his decision to veto the wind farm law.
"It's a form of blackmail by the parliamentary majority and the government, not only against the President of the Republic of Poland, but also against people," he explained. "This bill concerns wind farms, not lowering electricity prices," he explained. The president added that lowering prices requires abandoning the ETS and the Green Deal.
The President also assured that his office had prepared a draft resolution which, if quickly processed by the Parliament, could, with the President's signature, guarantee Poles an extension of the electricity price relief from the end of September.
The Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, launched an attack on Karol Nawrocki by manipulating the facts.
Malice or appalling incompetence on the part of President Nawrocki. It's possible it's both. His veto means more expensive electricity for all Poles – now and in the future. The first tests: diplomacy and energy, failed. Everyone will pay.
PN: The PM seems to forget that it was his job to represent Poland when other European leaders went to Washington. He was even reminding the president about that, and then he didn't go (or was not invited).
