Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz, a Member of the European Parliament from Poland, has publicly criticized Przemysław Czarnek, whom Jarosław Kaczyński has suggested as a candidate for Prime Minister. She sees the timing of this decision, announced just before International Women’s Day, as a symbolic gesture from the leadership of the ruling Law and Justice party (PiS). Gasiuk-Pihowicz’s comments infer that Czarnek represents a backward and regressive attitude towards women's rights, particularly in the context of his political views and policies.

In her statements, Gasiuk-Pihowicz referred to Czarnek with severe language, drawing a parallel between his views and that of the Taliban. She argues that the placement of his candidacy amid celebrations for women further exemplifies PiS's disdain for women's issues, suggesting that the message is that women's roles are limited to childbirth rather than professional aspirations. Her vehement criticism highlights the deepening divide in Polish politics concerning gender rights and the role of women in society.

Additionally, Gasiuk-Pihowicz pointed out Czarnek’s perceived hypocrisy regarding renewable energy, revealing his use of solar panels despite being an advocate against renewable energy sources. This exposes further contradictions in his stance as a politician. Her commentary not only erodes Czarnek's credibility as a candidate but also aims to rally support for the women’s rights movement in Poland amid an environment where such rights are under threat.
