Żurek:

We have a parliamentary-cabinet system. The President is trying to change it

Mateusz Nowak

- We have a parliamentary-cabinet system, not a presidential one. And we have observed for several months that the President is trying to change the system by showing that he will decide which laws the government adopts, firstly, that every law must be negotiated with him beforehand – said Waldemar Żurek in Polsat News.

- That is not what politics is about, because the government won the elections. It gained a majority in parliament and it prepares the laws, and the president only has the right of veto, and it cannot be instrumental, because then it blocks, it destroys the state – he continued.
