Karol Nawrocki emphasized on RMF FM that if he were to become president, he would not maintain the tradition of lighting Hanukkah candles. “I take my commitment to Christian values seriously, so I celebrate holidays that are close to me,” he noted.
Karol Nawrocki, a civilian presidential candidate supported by Law and Justice, was a guest on RMF FM.
The issue of abortion
During the conversation, he spoke, among other things: about issues related to the so-called “abortion compromise”.
I have my opinion. This is a sentence that refers to my values. I am a Christian. The issue of abortion and worldview always enter the discussion when those in power cannot handle it. Today they cannot cope – with prices, with investment projects
– he pointed.
First of all, the president cannot sign something that has been questioned by the Constitutional Court in two rulings: in 1997 and 2020. Signing the law is impossible for legal and formal reasons. We are therefore faced with the need to look for a new solution to this problem. The current coalition is unable to reach agreement on this
– he said.
I consider the killing of children with Down syndrome to be immoral and this was my commentary on the 1990s procedure and what a compromise it was.
– said the presidential candidate.
A series of questions
During the conversation, Karol Nawrocki answered a series of questions from listeners of RMF FM radio.
He was asked, among other things, whether, in his opinion, religion should disappear from Polish schools.
I believe religion should be part of education for those who wish to attend. It is part of our culture
– he replied.
The presidential candidate was also asked whether he would sign the law on raising the retirement age.
There’s no way I would sign it. The vice chairman of the PO, if he became president, would have to follow the orders of his boss, Donald Tusk, so we would certainly have an increase in the retirement age.
– he pointed.
Additionally, he admitted that he would not maintain the tradition of lighting Hanukkah candles.
NO. I take my commitment to Christian values seriously, so I celebrate holidays that are close to me
– he pointed out.
Nawrocki also stated that as president he would not agree to the introduction of the euro in Poland.
The next topic was the Smolensk disaster. He is asked whether he finds the report by Maciej Lasek or Antoni Macierewicz binding.
I guess when we talk about Russia, and we know that the Soviets are capable of carrying out attacks, we cannot rule out the possibility of an attack. We know what the essence of the communist Soviet state is. However, this case is still unresolved
– he assessed.
Then RMF FM listeners asked him if, if he became president, he would pardon Marcin Romanowski (but he would have to be convicted first).
The issue of pardon is an individual matter. Without reading the documents, without opinions, the president cannot make such a decision. It’s too early to discuss this
– he pointed.
The first three laws
On RMF FM radio, Karol Nawrocki was also asked what his first three presidential laws would be if he were elected President of the Republic of Poland.
The first initiative will refer to investments and big dreams – to CPK. In the form established before October 15, 2023. The remaining two legislative initiatives will be clarified shortly – after my meetings with citizens. If I were to point it out today, you have to respond to the price increase
– he pointed.
