““The complaints against Tusk that there is no majority in the Sejm for the liberalization of abortion are an expression of the frustration of his supporters, and not an expression of a rational assessment of the situation,” said Tomasz Lis, referring to Donald Tusk’s statement. The Prime Minister admitted at the Olszyn Campus that the changes in the abortion law expected by left-wing voters would not be possible.
Until the next elections, there will be no majority in this parliament in favor of legal abortion in the full sense of the word. There is no point in cheating. However, there will be a completely different practice in the Polish prosecutor’s office and hospitals. This is already underway and will be very noticeable.
– said the Prime Minister, adding:
I want to tell you something that is sad for me, but it is a fact that we cannot avoid: in the Polish Sejm there is no majority in favor of the right to legal abortion that we have spoken about here and that we defend here, among others. We agree with you. There is simply no majority.
– Tusk said, but this should not come as a surprise, because many of the promises he made to voters were not fulfilled.
Tomasz Lis, a well-known supporter of Tusk’s government, defended the prime minister.
The complaints against Tusk that there is no majority in the Sejm for liberalizing abortion are an expression of the frustration of his supporters, and not an expression of a rational assessment of the situation. It was we, not Tusk, who elected this particular parliament. The voters of Holownia and Kosiniak apparently did not want any liberalization. This is also their right.
– he wrote on the X Lis website, with his usual understanding, which normally concerns the PO.
