"You rapidly expressed your willingness to recognise the judgement of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
– We are obliged to apply the decision of the EUSEU of 25 November in life. There is no contradiction with Polish law, we should transcribe the acts of single-sex couples in the EU countries. I know many of these couples, many of them have not decided to leave and enter into a relation outside Poland. They live in the sense that they are second-class citizens, they want to legalize their relationships.
– In the radio broadcast you invited those people who would like to registry a abroad matrimony certificate.
– Immediately after my speech, a Pole wrote to me, who in Germany is legally married. He would be happy to come to Świdnica to make an entry. More e-mails have already arrived at Świdnica City Hall in a akin case. Their authors have declared that they want to transcribe in my city.
"The ruling of the TEU has sparked quite a few interest.
Therefore, it is essential to implement it. seldom have the Court's ruling caused specified emotions. Let us keep in head average people who would like their legal position to be the same in Poland as in another EU country in which they lived and married. Transcription should be a formality, to guarantee that single-sex couples recognise their relation and at the same time give a sense of security. I meet with comments that transcription may be incompatible with Polish law, but frequently those who say so do not know precisely the provisions in the Constitution, are altering in peculiar the content of Article 18. Let me remind you that, erstwhile we joined the European Union, we expressed the work to recognise the judgments of the TEU.
In this case, however, it is not that simple.
– The collision with reality showed problems. All papers in civilian position offices are already digitally recorded. In IT systems that have been perfected over the years, the authoritative must fill in a number of boxes concerning only women and only men. erstwhile transcribing, i.e. transferring the content of a abroad matrimony certificate to the Polish civilian position system, it is essential to fill in lines corresponding to a given gender, enter persons with PESEL female and with PESEL male. Data from 2 women or 2 men will automatically reject the system. There is presently no anticipation to make any modifications. This must be done only at the level of the central IT centre in charge of systems for the full of Poland. due to the fact that whether it is in Świdnica, Ełk, Jastrow, Koluszki or Wrocław, registration is made to the nationwide register, so the act is immediately disclosed in all offices in the country. Currently, erstwhile registering an act of monogender pairs there is simply a blockage, there is simply a technical-informatic problem, and manually cannot be transcribed, we will not jump the system. I would add that for any time now a squad has been working on many modifications, with representatives of civilian position offices who know best what mechanisms request to be improved.
– To transcribe, it is essential to change the models of the matrimony certificate.
– An urgent regulation is so needed by the Minister of Administration and Home Affairs. The Ministry of Digital Affairs is waiting for them. I am convinced that there will be no uncertainty in the adoption of the judgement of the TEU in Poland. The Minister of Digitalism Krzysztof Gawkowski assured me that the strategy could be rapidly improved and that it would be possible to freely enter all data from the acts of single-sex couples concluded outside Poland. We should do everything we can to change this situation step by step. Single-sex couples want to live peacefully, happily. Each of us should have the right to respect for dignity, equal treatment. I believe the civilian position offices will be ready for fast transcription. My invitation to Świdnica for all curious single-sex couples remains in force, I am just waiting for changes in the system.
