He Ruined His Chances for a Career in the IOC. Nitras on Duda and His Decision Regarding the Sports Act Amendment
- What the President has done, by refusing to sign this [sports] act [introducing, among other things, a minimum percentage of women in sports association leadership], stands, unfortunately, in brutal contradiction to the values declared by Mr. President, which he proclaims to everyone - said Sławomir Nitras at a press conference.
- I just wanted to remind Mr. President that the International Olympic Committee, which is the body Mr. President Duda aspires to join, has issued firm recommendations to national Olympic committees, to sports federations affiliated with the International Olympic Committee, that by the year 2020, meaning five years ago, they should introduce a minimum 30% parity of female presence in their governing bodies - he continued.
- Mr. President Duda, by refusing to sign this act [referring it to the Constitutional Tribunal], acted in the interest of Mr. President Piesiewicz, those who manage the Polish Olympic Committee, not in the interest of athletes and not in the interest of Polish sport. He did not act in accordance with the regulations that apply within the International Olympic Committee - he went on to say.
- It seems to me that [...] these chances were never high, to be honest, but by refusing to sign this act, Mr. President Duda has completely ruined his chances of having any career in the structures of the International Olympic Committee - he added.
