At the XI European Congress of Local Governments held in Mikołajki, the President Karol Nawrocki did not offer a clear stance regarding two critical issues concerning local governance: SAFE and the proposal to abolish the two-term limit for officials. Instead of definitive answers, the president's approach was notably ambiguous, leaving representatives without the clarity they sought on these pressing matters. His reluctance to commit to a firm position may reflect the complexity and potential controversy surrounding these legislative topics.

On the issue of two-term limits, Nawrocki referenced the situation in Gdańsk, asserting that one political group has monopolized local government power there. He described this scenario as personally traumatic, highlighting an episode where he was unable to even secure catering services for his institution, the Museum of the Second World War, due to fears of backlash from collaborating with what he termed a "consulate of Poland in the Free City of Gdańsk." This example underscores the risks and challenges local administrators face under heavily politicized circumstances.

In a step towards fostering dialogue on these topics, Nawrocki announced plans to establish the Council for Local Governance under the President of the Republic of Poland's office. This council is expected to facilitate ongoing discussions regarding the proposed legislation that would eliminate the two-term limit for elected officials, thereby aiming to create a more open forum for addressing such crucial governance questions. The council’s formation suggests an acknowledgment of the need for broader engagement with local government issues within the Polish political landscape.
