The president vets the amendment to the Educational Law

President Andrzej Duda vetoed the amendment to the Educational Law. Please consider the topic as finished; we do not need more disputes now, the president said on Wednesday, appealing to the leaders of parliamentary groups to swiftly adopt the law on the defense of the fatherland.

"As I appeal to you for unity, for the lack of political disputes, I have decided to refer this law for reconsideration," the president said.

The president said that he vetoed this amendment, meeting the appeals of the opposition circles. He added that he had reservations about it, but the amendment also contained some solutions that he supported and which, in his opinion, should be introduced.

"Let's postpone it for later. For now, there is a veto to this law, let it not disturb us in matters most important to Poland's security. Before you in the Sejm, the law on the defense of the fatherland. I am asking you to pass it immediately. We need it," the president appealed.

The first reading of the draft law on the defense of the homeland is to be conducted by the Sejm on Thursday.
