Karol Nawrocki, the Polish President's chief of staff, vetoed a proposed amendment to the Code of Criminal Procedure due to concerns about public safety and the effectiveness of the state's fight against serious crime.
On March 13, 2026, Rafał Leśkiewicz, spokesperson for the Polish President, announced that Karol Nawrocki had vetoed a legislative amendment from February 27, 2026, aimed at changing the Code of Criminal Procedure and other laws. The veto was attributed to concerns over the safety of citizens and the state's capacity to combat serious crime effectively. Leśkiewicz emphasized that while individual provisions of the bill were beneficial, they did not constitute a valid basis for enacting the law as a whole, suggesting that overall increases in procedural difficulties could ultimately undermine public safety.
