Włodzimierz Czarzasty, the Marshal of the Sejm, has responded to recent criticisms from the Presidential Chancellery regarding President Andrzej Duda's legislative proposals. During a statement, Czarzasty emphasized that it is crucial to calmly explain the facts, which he believes will speak for themselves. He provided a detailed account of the 17 proposals submitted by the President, highlighting their current status within the legislative process.

Out of the 17 proposals, Czarzasty mentioned that one has been successfully adopted by the Sejm (the lower house of Poland's Parliament) on January 23, 2026, while another was rejected during its first reading. He noted that seven of the proposals are currently undergoing committee work, indicating that they are being examined in detail before potentially moving forward. Additionally, Czarzasty stated that two projects are awaiting their first reading, four have been returned to the President for further clarification, one is in public consultation, and one is pending evaluation by the Sejm's Bureau of Expertise and Regulatory Impact Assessment.

Czarzasty's response appears to be an attempt to clarify the legislative process and to defend the efficacy of the President's proposals amidst the criticism. His detailed breakdown of the status of each proposal aims to illustrate that the legislative mechanisms are functioning, albeit with some projects not advancing as quickly as others. This public clarification may serve to mitigate tensions between the Sejm and the Presidential Chancellery, highlighting the need for collaboration and thorough consideration in Polish legislative affairs.
