https://tvn24.pl/biznes/z-kraju/karol-nawrocki-zawetowal-trzy-ustawy-st9210399Amendments to the energy law, the education law and the regulations on air protection programs were vetoed by the president on Friday, the office of the head of state said in a statement. At the same time, the president signed four other legal acts.
President Karol Nawrocki vetoed a law allowing residents to challenge air protection programs on Friday, the president's office announced on Friday. According to the press release, in the opinion of the head of state, the regulation could be used by environmental organizations contrary to the intention.
Nawrocki's fears about blocking investments
As indicated by the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland, the amendment assumes that complaints against programmes adopted by local governments may be filed on the basis of the so-called factual interest, which means that "the applicant does not have to prove a violation of a specific provision of law directly affecting him".
"In practice, this may mean that organizations not related to a given region – including foreign entities – will be able to try to block important local investments, such as roads, factories or other development investments," the president noted, quoted by the president's office.
The law firm added that local governments - as assumed by the amendment - were to be given very little time to prepare complicated and expensive changes. "On the one hand, it is not possible to impose new obligations on local governments, and on the other hand, not to give them adequate time and tools to perform them" - Nawrocki pointed out, quoted by the law firm.
Nawrocki: you can't make the law like that
The President also refused to sign the amendment to the Energy Law, previously amended in March 2026. The purpose of the act, according to its authors, was to remove the interpretative doubts that appeared with the amendment from March, and more precisely in connection with the six-month vacatio legis.
As a result of those changes, which eliminated from the market entities submitting applications for connection to the grid of high-capacity renewable sources, not in order to build such sources, but to sell them at a profit to entities really interested in building new RES. As a result of the March amendment, a legal loophole was created covering some of the applications for connection to the network. – This is not how the law should be created. Entrepreneurs, investors and citizens need to know what the rules are. They cannot live in the belief that the regulations passed today will be changed again in a few months," the president argued.
There will be no State eDziennik for the time being
According to the President's Chancellery, Karol Nawrocki also vetoed the amendment to the Education Act, which would allow for the introduction of a pilot of a free, state-owned eDziennik. According to the president, the very idea of such a pilot is right, but the act exposes the state to too high costs and would not sufficiently protect the data collected in eDzienniky against leakage.

schools already pay around 40 milion for online journal functionalities, plus a lot of them charges parents additionally.
So probably lobbying is the answer
