Poland's conservative President Karol Nawrocki vetoed a bill on July 17 that would have legalised civil partnerships, blocking a central element of Prime Minister Donald Tusk's reform agenda; overriding the veto would require a three-fifths majority in the lower house of parliament, a threshold rarely met in Polish politics

Poland's Prime Minister since December 2023, Tusk built a pro-EU coalition that ended eight years of PiS rule but now faces a cohabitation president issuing record-breaking vetoes.

37 presidential vetoes in ten months turn cohabitation into open warfare

The president can't veto the budget, so he refers it, Tusk says it changes nothing
