President Karol Nawrocki defends controversial vetoes in an interview with Channel Zero, while Prime Minister Donald Tusk points to suspicious ties to the cryptocurrency industry. Since the beginning of Nawrocka's tenure he has signed 95 laws, but vetoed 17. He emphasized that the veto is not due to "great joy", but to "specific work for Poland".
In an interview, Nawrocka described the decision-making mechanics in the Chancellery of the President. erstwhile experts are divided, he organizes a confrontation of positions – he judges at 1 table supporters and opponents from different political backgrounds. «I mean, the heart can beat differently, reason suggests otherwise. Experts at the President's Chancellery are divided, the situation is almost stale”, explained president Zero.
Controversial veto and financial links
Two vetoes were peculiarly controversial: the Act prohibiting dogs from being kept on chains and the Act on crypto-activism. Prime Minister Donald Tusk powerfully criticized the President's decisions in a statement, pointing to suspicious connections. «The case is becoming highly ugly due to the fact that there is simply a large company in the background, litigation, investigation, suspected murder, disappearance of the president of 1 of the key companies on the market, political campaign, engagement of right-wing leaders and media in promoting 1 of these companies», said the Prime Minister.
In the background of both decisions, there are links to the cryptocurrency industry. Przemysław Kral, residing in Monaco, runs Zondacrypto. The company sponsors right-wing events and politicians. In 2024, the company reached 31.5 million euros of gross and 8.44 million euros of net profit – revenues increased by 573%, profit by 712% year-on-year.
Zondacrypto sponsors, among others, the conservative CPAC legislature organized by the editor of the Polish paper and the Polish Olympic Committee, whose head Radosław Piesiewicz signed a sponsorship agreement in Monaco.
Kaczyński changes position
Jarosław Kaczyński, who recorded a place for the Viva Foundation in 2017! Animal rights defenders, now supports Nawrock's veto. «It is simply a substance of heart, pity for animals. I think that all decent individual should have something like this in him”, he said in the video. present he announced that the PiS would abstain from voting on the rejection of the veto, which would actually prevent its rejection – it would take 276 votes with the required 3/5 majority.
Nawrocki defended his veto in an interview with Channel Zero, arguing that the proposals were unrealistic. «The proposed standards of the dogs' coyotes were completely unrealistic. Flats the size of urban studios are absurd, which would hit farmers, breeders and simple agrarian farms. This law was detached from reality”, stated the President.
Veto Act on crypto-activities
On Friday, the Sejm upheld the presidential veto of the crypto-activism bill – they were supported by the PiS and the Confederacy. Nawrocki told Channel Zero that he had not received any information about the risks to the cryptocurrency market. «I did not learn anything about the dangers during the parliamentary debate, from the reports of the peculiar services, and I do not have specified cognition today. Then we can anticipate to provoke and attack this marketplace soon," warned the President.
Tusk responded sharply to the support of the veto. «They will regret this decision today. They will be ashamed of her for the remainder of their lives, I promise you this”, the Prime Minister said. He pointed to money from "very dangerous environments" for Poland, including Russian sources and mafia, which financed political promotion.
The Controversial past of Zondacrypto
Zondacrypto was created from the transformation of BitBay – the first Polish cryptocurrency exchange established in 2014 by Sylwester Suszek, called "the first cryptoroy". In 2018, KNF (Financial Supervision Commission) placed BitBay on the alert list and notified the prosecutor of the illegal conduct of payment services. Suszek moved the company to Malta, then to Estonia. In 2021, BitBay changed its name to Zonda and then Zondacrypto.
On March 10, 2022, Suszek disappeared after a business gathering in Cheladzi close Katowice. His sister Nicole Suszek conducts his own investigation and accuses the Zondacrypto authorities of stealing his brother's assets and possible engagement in his disappearance. The Kral denies the charges, suggesting that Nicole was guided by money and had a bad relation with her brother.
