Szefernaker defends Nawrocki's veto: bill on "closest person" amounted to quasi-marriage

MP Paweł Szefernaker explained President Nawrocki's veto of the government's bill on "closest person" status, arguing the legislation created "a formalised union institution producing many effects similar to marriage" rather than simply granting next-of-kin rights. Nawrocki refused to sign the bill, citing its broad legal implications. The law was intended to grant unmarried partners rights such as access to medical information.
