Polish Lawmakers Face Consecutive Defeat Against Nawrocki Over Crypto Bill
According to a local media outlet, TVP World, members of the lower house of the Polish Parliament, i.e., Sejm, failed to reach the required third-fifth majority to overturn a second presidential veto of the Crypto Asset Market Act. President Karol Narcowski initially vetoed the cryptocurrency regulation bill in December 2025, citing overregulation, ambiguity, and an increased regulatory burden on small businesses.
The Polish lawmakers, led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, failed to override this first veto, which would have aligned Poland’s digital asset regulations with the general European Union’s MICA regulations. In February, the same measure was passed again and vetoed by President Narcowski, citing the same reasons as before.

In an attempt to bypass the President’s assent, the lawmakers held a vote on Friday, with 191 members of parliament voting in favor of the veto and 243 dissenting. Ultimately, this result fell short of the constitutionally required 263 votes to override the President’s veto in Poland. According to Narcowski in December, the proposed digital asset regulation “threatens the freedom of Poles, their property, and the stability of the state.
Polish Ministers React To Foiled Override Attempt
Following Friday’s botched efforts to pass the Crypto Asset Market Act, several members of the Polish Parliament have responded in various ways.

Finance Minister Andrzej Domański strongly criticized President Narcowski’s veto, stating that the absence of updated regulations compromised the integrity of the Polish digital asset market. Domanski described the present environment as an environment of fraudsters that threatens the protection of investors and entrepreneurs.

Another interesting aspect of this regulation is Prime Minister Tusk’s recent allegations against Poland’s largest exchange, Zondacrypto, which has also lobbied against the Crypto Asset Market Act. Prime Minister Tusk claimed that Zondacrypto was established by Russia mafia, and resources linked to the Russian intelligence agencies.
Considering these funding sources, Tusk questions the exchange’s involvement in Polish politics, citing reports from security agencies that the company’s CEO, Przemysław Kral, has donated to opposition candidates.

Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński linked the push for the Crypto Asset Market Act to this government concern, stating: The plan is to keep addressing this until we succeed, until the awareness of the threats and these strange interests connecting certain right-wing politicians with this [cryptocurrency] exchange finally reaches the president.

There is a photograph that stays with me from this Guardian piece.
A 49-year-old miner named Rafal Dzuman, stepping off his shift. Coal dust so fine it has permanently traced a thin black line around his eyes — like makeup he can never fully remove. Twenty years of descending 700 metres underground, every single day, at a mine that has been operating since the mid-17th century.
That image captures something that statistics and policy documents never quite can. This isn't just an energy transition story. It's a human one.
Poland is the last country in the European Union still fully committed to coal extraction. 80,000 people descend underground every day in Upper Silesia. Around 200,000 are employed across active mines and the broader supply chain. Coal still generates roughly half of Poland's electricity. And the reserves at some mines are estimated to last another 50 years.

Yet the political decision has already been made in Brussels. Decarbonisation is not a question of if — it's a question of when, and how fast. The target date is 2049, though some projections suggest coal could be phased out entirely by 2035.
The tension in this story is real and it deserves to be taken seriously on all sides.
On one hand, the environmental case is unambiguous. Coal is a polluting fossil fuel contributing directly to climate change. The European Green Deal exists for sound scientific and moral reasons. Two-thirds of Polish mines have already closed or been repurposed — some into museums, some into art galleries, one into a golf course, another being redeveloped as a gaming and technology hub. The transition is already underway and it is producing genuinely interesting reinvention.

On the other hand, the human and economic complexity is enormous. When a region's entire identity — its schools, its families, its language, its patron saint — has been shaped by a single industry for centuries, "just transition" funding and retraining programmes, however well-intentioned, cannot simply replace what is being lost overnight. The miners' union makes a legitimate point: if the pace of transition is too fast, new jobs in new sectors will not materialise quickly enough to absorb the losses.

And then there is the geopolitical wrinkle that nobody planned for.
The conflict in the Middle East has pushed oil and gas prices sharply higher. Suddenly, the economic calculation around coal — already complicated — has shifted again. Questions that seemed settled are being reopened. Is it rational to accelerate the phase-out of a domestic energy source during a period of global energy price volatility? What does energy security look like when external supply chains are disrupted?
These are not comfortable questions for green transition advocates. But they are legitimate ones, and ignoring them doesn't make them disappear.
There is a detail in this piece that I keep returning to.
Seventeen-year-old Wiktor Dudek, hard hat on, sitting in a tunnel-laboratory beneath his school in Rybnik, learning to become a miner. His grandfather was a miner. His father was a miner. And so, he has decided, will he be.
"The outlook for us young people is not rosy," he says. "But this is our tradition."
That's not ignorance. That's identity. And identity doesn't dissolve simply because a policy framework in Brussels has set a deadline.
The honest truth is that the energy transition is necessary, inevitable, and deeply disruptive to real communities in ways that are often discussed in the abstract by people who don't live them. Poland's coal story is a reminder that how we make this transition matters just as much as whether we make it.
The world extracted more coal in 2025 than in any previous year — over 9 billion tonnes globally. Poland's 85 million tonnes is less than 1% of that total. Phasing it out will not, on its own, solve the climate crisis. But it will fundamentally reshape the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in one of Europe's most historically rooted industrial communities.
They deserve a transition that is honest about that weight.

"Most people say, 'I'll start investing when I have thousands to spare.' I didn't wait. My story began with a diligent cashier's job and my first deposit – 110 złoty.
For some, it's just a meal at a restaurant. For me, it was the foundation of my ship.
I don't have rich parents, I don't have an inheritance. But I have something many lack: brutal reliability. I don't take sick leave, I don't make excuses. Every bonus I get from work, every złoty I save goes towards my plan.
Today, my portfolio is growing, and as I stand on shift, I can already see those deck chairs and the playground for my son. My girlfriend knows nothing about this account – this will be my biggest surprise for her.
I'll be posting every step I take here. From that 110 złoty to my first million. Want to see how diligent work beats the system? Follow me. 🚀

In a historic move, Poland has actively engaged and shot down Russian drones that violated its airspace, marking the first time the nation has taken such direct military action since the start of the Ukraine war. ✈️🔥
The incident unfolded as Russia launched a massive wave of drone and missile strikes targeting Ukraine. Surveillance systems in Poland detected more than 10 airborne objects, prompting NATO and Polish air defense forces to respond immediately. ⚡️🛰️
According to officials, drones that posed serious threats to public safety were intercepted and neutralized by fighter jets and advanced air defense systems. The swift action led to temporary closures of major airports across Poland, a precaution never taken before in its modern history. 🛑🏙️
This escalation highlights the growing risks of spillover from the Ukraine conflict into NATO territories, raising global concerns about regional security and stability. 🌍💥
With NATO on high alert, Poland’s decisive action sends a clear message: its skies and citizens will be defended at all costs. 🛡️🇵🇱
