Duda blocked the bill allowing intellectual assistance to children without parental consent

In an interview with TV, president Andrzej Duda explained that he directed the bill to the Constitutional Court for 1 reason, as he considers the safety of children. He besides explained that referring the bill to the Constitutional Tribunal under preventive control means that "this law will not enter into force"

It allows teenagers from 13 years of age to benefit from specified assistance without parental permission. Keepers would should be informed of the visit within 7 days, unless it could harm the child.
The bill was tabled by Members of the Civic Coalition. Work on it lasted over 3 years. The creation process was attended by representatives of youth organisations and the current Spokeswoman of Children's Rights, Monika Horna-Cieślak.
Government spokesperson sharp about Duda's actions
The President's decision was powerfully criticised by government spokesperson Adam Szpiek. On TVN24's one-on-one program, he announced that the government would not resign and would fight to implement the bill.
The trap said that Duda's decision "to awaken the emotions of the worst possible, due to the fact that it is foolishness, malice, smallness, pettyness, cynicism." He pointed out that although the president did not veto the bill, sending it to the TK, which is headed by Bogdan Święczkowski means that he "really blocked it".
“The mediocre end of mediocre presidency,” said the government spokesman. And he added, "The president will be accounted for for his presidency in the most brutal way 1 can imagine – past will beat him, possibly not in a week, in two, in three, but the grades of Andrzej Duda and his presidency will be very bad.".
