Domański:

Public Finances Suffer from Presidential Vetoes

Michał Lubowicki

- The President absolutely has the right [to] assess laws. He cannot demand that the government first consult with him on bills. That would disrupt a certain natural order, moreover, one described in the constitution. It is the government that governs - said Andrzej Domański on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń".

- The President has the right to veto, and he very readily uses this right, of course. It is a pity when public finances, or as in the case of recent decisions, the finances of the National Health Fund, suffer from this veto - he stated.

- Public finances are certainly [losing] from the President's vetoes. Two laws: the first concerning the sugar tax, the second concerning excise duty on alcohol. This represents a loss of 3 billion zlotys for the public finance sector - he pointed out.
