The ECJ Ruling Does Not Mandate Same-Sex Marriage

- If someone asks me what to do with a ruling from the European Court of Human Rights or what to do with a ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union, there is only one answer. You have to implement it. Poland is a member of the Council of Europe, Poland is a member of the European Union. Based on a sovereign decision expressed through the ratification of relevant international agreements, Poland has bound itself to the jurisdiction of these courts. Therefore, if signals come from these courts regarding a problem, especially a problem related to the protection of human rights, such a ruling must be implemented - said Marcin Wiącek in “Polityczne Graffiti” on Polsat News.

- This signal, which came from the Court of Justice of the European Union a few days ago, confirms the jurisprudence that has already come to Poland from Strasbourg from the European Court of Human Rights in 2023, and it means that there is a need to create a legal institution, there is a need to regulate same-sex unions and grant same-sex unions specific rights. Both of these Courts have clearly stated in these rulings that this does not result in an obligation to introduce same-sex marriage, both the Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and the ECJ ruling from a few days ago. It was emphasized there that Poland, in light of these rulings, does not have an obligation to introduce so-called marital equality, but a law should appear, and such projects are already in circulation - Marcin Wiązek continued.
