Economy
The euro Keep the złoty
Said
Adopting the euro is not on the agenda and would not pay off for Poland; the złoty protects it against crises.
“Nie ma tematu na agendzie, nikt nie chce wprowadzać euro. Nie opłaca nam się to”
Our translation The topic is not on the agenda, nobody wants to introduce the euro. It does not pay off for us

Benefits for Ukrainians Limit it to those who work
Said
Benefits such as 800+ should go to Ukrainians only if they work, live and pay taxes in Poland, and he asked the government to change the law.
“Jeżeli chodzi o takie świadczenia, jak 800 plus dla Ukraińców, one powinny się im należeć, jeżeli będą u nas pracować, mieszkać i jeżeli będą płacić podatki.”
Our translation As for benefits such as 800 plus for Ukrainians, they should be due to them if they work here, live here and if they pay taxes.

Abortion Legal on request to 12 weeks
Said
Abortion should be legal up to the twelfth week, as the woman's decision.
“I tak, jestem za prawem do aborcji do dwunastego tygodnia. To musi być decyzja kobiety, bo kobiety powinny decydować o swoim życiu i o swoim zdrowiu”
Our translation And yes, I am for the right to abortion up to the twelfth week. It has to be the woman's decision, because women should decide about their life and their health

Civil partnerships Legal civil partnerships
Said
Asked whether he would sign a civil partnership law, he backed one, saying couples who spend their lives together cannot visit each other in hospital or inherit.
“Bo to jest jakaś kompletna paranoja, że dwójka ludzi, to najczęściej dotyczy paru heteroseksualnych, są ze sobą całe życie, nie mogą się odwiedzić w szpitalu albo po sobie dziedziczyć.”
Our translation Because it is some complete paranoia that two people, most often this concerns heterosexual couples, are together their whole life and cannot visit each other in hospital or inherit from each other.

EU migration pact Reject relocation
Said
Poland will not apply any relocation provisions of the EU migration pact; the EU should strengthen its external borders instead.
“Jasno mówimy, że nie ma zgody na postanowienia tego paktu dotyczące jakiejkolwiek relokacji. Niech UE zajmie się wzmacnianiem swoich zewnętrznych granic”
Our translation We say clearly that there is no consent to the provisions of this pact concerning any relocation. Let the EU deal with strengthening its external borders
