Details
After Polish President Karol Nawrocki's veto on the law on aid to Ukrainians, many questions remain, including the payment of aid in the amount of "800+". According to the publication, the government is urgently working on an alternative solution, which consists in returning to the pre-election promise of Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, which guaranteed benefits to foreigners provided they are employed in Poland.
At a government meeting, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that he does not intend to argue with Nawrocki on the issue of payments under the "800+" program for only employed Ukrainians.
The bill you vetoed will have various unpleasant consequences. We will not argue, because we ourselves proposed changes to the "800+" benefits
He warned Nawrocki that vetoing the bill could have devastating consequences for Polish companies.
Recall
Polish President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the bill on aid to Ukrainians under the "800+" program. It guaranteed a monthly payment of 800 zlotys for each child under 18, regardless of family income. Payments are also available to parents of Ukrainian children living in Poland.
After that, the country's Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski stated that Nawrocki's veto effectively disables Starlink internet in Ukraine and stops supporting data storage for the Ukrainian government. However, his words were refuted by the President's Office.
