“It never crossed my mind that on an issue as objective as electricity bills, the Speaker of the Polish Sejm would place party interests or personal animosity toward the president above the interests of households,” President Karol Nawrocki said this morning regarding the “Cheap Electricity” bill, which has now been frozen for exactly one hundred days. “Do all MPs of the December 13 Coalition support this obstruction and actions contrary to the interests of Poles?” Jacek Sasin asked on X.
In November of last year, President Karol Nawrocki signed a legislative initiative titled “Cheap Electricity -33%.” It was one of his campaign pledges. Since then, the bill has not been formally introduced for further proceedings, which falls within the Speaker of the Sejm’s authority.
President Nawrocki spoke yesterday on Polsat News about the blocking of the draft law by Włodzimierz Czarzasty.
“It never occurred to me that on an issue as objective as electricity bills, the Speaker of the Polish Sejm would place party considerations or personal hostility toward the president above the interests of households,”
he stated.
“We may consider it the naivety of a presidential candidate that, on a matter as obvious as electricity prices, Parliament would impose any kind of blockage,”
the president admitted.
As politicians from the Law and Justice party note, Sunday marks one hundred days since the bill was submitted to the Sejm.
“President Karol Nawrocki has thus fulfilled his promise, yet those in power have erected barriers to sound proposals. Why is Włodzimierz Czarzasty blocking this socially important bill? Do all MPs of the December 13 Coalition support this obstruction and actions against the interests of Poles?”
Jacek Sasin asks.
