Law and Justice presidential candidate Karol Nawrocki, during a meeting with voters in Bielsko-Biała, said – when asked about his attitude to abortion – that he was pro-life, but against ideological war on the streets of Polish cities. When asked about “protecting young people from depravity in schools”, he said that the Ministry of National Education was given to “a very radical, extreme politician”.
– I am Catholic (…), so I am pro-life from conception to natural death. This is a natural thing, he said Karol Nawrocki during a meeting with voters in Bielsko-Biała.
The candidate admitted that his attitude to this issue was also shaped by his personal history. – I am the father of a wonderful son, Daniel, who is 21 years old. I love him very much. I can't imagine life without him. I have been raising him since he was two years old. He is not my biological son. I don't know any other life than with Daniel, and he doesn't know any other father than me, he mentioned.

– We are aware in my family home that Daniel is alive thanks to his deep mental resilience, dedication and readiness of his young mother to give birth to him and for life to win. This situation builds me personally – he emphasized.
– However, I am against ideological war on the streets of Polish cities – he said. – These are matters so delicate and concern things so fundamental that the worst that could happen in Poland is a repetition of the pendulum swings from a few years ago. This is as disturbing as the fact that there are attacks on human life, said Nawrocki.
Nawrocki: this is the great drama of Polish education
Nawrocki, when asked about “protecting young people from depravity in schools”, said that the Ministry of National Education was given to “a very radical, extreme politician who represents 7 percent of the support of Polish society.”
– This is the great drama of Polish education. I follow the new core curriculum and it disappears from building young people's sense of love for Poland, building attachment to our values and identity – he said.

National community, entrepreneurship and new technologies
Nawrocki argued for the need to rebuild the community in Poland. He emphasized that “there is a place in the national community for everyone” who loves and serves our country. He declared that as president he would “rebuild the national community around fundamental values.”
The candidate also spoke about the problems of entrepreneurship in the context of growing energy prices. He emphasized that the state should not leave citizens, including entrepreneurs, alone in times of crisis.
As he noted, new technologies are developing rapidly in the modern world, and in Poland those who deal with them do not have – in his opinion – proper support from the state. “A socially responsible state should build the future around new technologies, but it should not allow its values to be taken away,” Nawrocki said.
