The conservative President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, announced on Thursday his intention to organize a referendum with the aim of rejecting the European Union’s Green Deal.
Nawrocki is an opponent of the community bloc’s ecological policies, notes Agerpres, quoting AFP.
“The Green Deal and the carbon emission quota exchange system mean higher energy prices, a loss of economic competitiveness, and a collapse of agricultural production,” argued the Polish president in a post on the X platform.
In the referendum he wishes to organize in September, Nawrocki wants to ask the Poles if they are “in favor of implementing a climate policy that has led to an increase in the cost of living, energy prices, and costs in the economy and agriculture”.
The rejection of the Green Deal, the lowering of energy prices, and support for local coal production were featured in Nawrocki’s electoral program for the 2025 elections, which he won by a small margin against the progressive-liberal mayor of Warsaw, Rafal Trzaskowski.
