Poland: President Nawrocki faces veto criticism as Morawiecki attacks PiS

Polish President Karol Nawrocki is facing criticism from liberal and left-wing political elites regarding his frequent use of the presidential veto. While opponents characterize his actions as an abuse of power intended to obstruct government operations, supporters note that the veto is a constitutional right used to balance the executive branch, particularly when the president holds different ideological views than the parliamentary majority.

Separately, former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has issued sharp criticisms of the Law and Justice (PiS) party. Morawiecki described the previous eight years of PiS governance as involving the oppression of small businesses through investigations and arrests. He specifically criticized the autonomy of special services and the perceived fiscal irresponsibility of his former colleagues regarding public spending.
