Karol Nawrocki, a key Polish political figure, recently met with representatives from trade unions at the Presidential Palace to discuss critical social and pension issues. During this meeting, he underscored the importance of maintaining a commitment to social values and the Christian principles that have characterized his administration since its inception. Nawrocki affirmed that despite the political and economic pressures, these values remain at the forefront of his governance approach.

A significant point raised by Nawrocki was his firm stance against any legislative attempts to raise the retirement age or eliminate the so-called 13th and 14th pensions, which are additional financial benefits for retirees in Poland. He explicitly stated, "This hand will not sign the increase in the retirement age," reinforcing his prior campaign promises. This declaration aims to reassure workers and retirees that their hard-won benefits will not be jeopardized under his presidency. Nawrocki's meeting with union leaders is seen as a strategic move to bolster support from a crucial demographic.

Nawrocki’s commitment to defending workers’ rights and pension benefits reflects broader concerns about social welfare policies in Poland. His approach illustrates a defensiveness aimed at preserving the achievements made in collaboration with trade unions over previous years. By openly communicating with union representatives, Nawrocki seeks to establish a cooperative relationship, ensuring that labor and social issues remain prioritized in his administration, all while reinforcing the stability of Poland's social safety net for retirees.
