Senate rejected the motion for a referendum on climate policy
The Polish Senate has made a decision regarding a motion to hold a nationwide referendum. The project, which was submitted by Karol Nawrocki, concerned key issues related to climate policy. After a long and very emotional debate, the senators decided that the vote would not take place.
Karol Nawrocki wanted citizens to have their say on changes in the law regarding environmental protection and energy. According to the author of the motion, decisions made in these areas are of great importance for the future of the state and the wallets of ordinary citizens. This idea received strong support from Law and Justice politicians.
The debate in the upper house of parliament was full of tension. Representatives of the government and the Senate majority sharply criticized the proposal. One of the ministers present in the room accused the opposition of spreading lies and manipulating facts about EU regulations. Opponents of the referendum claimed that the motion is an element of a political game, rather than a real concern for the opinion of Poles.
Ultimately, the majority of senators voted against the project. This means that the referendum will not be organized, and the discussion on Karol Nawrocki's proposal has been concluded. The result of the vote shows deep divisions in the Polish parliament regarding the country's energy and ecological strategy.
