March In Warsaw Against Presidential Veto Of Dog-chaining Ban
A member of the Inspectorate for the Safety of Animals is seen at a rally protesting President Karol Nawrocki's veto of a law prohitibint the use of chaings on dagos on April 26, 2026, calling on parliament to overturn President Karol Nawrocki's veto of a law that would have banned keeping dogs chained up. Nawrocki vetoed the legislation in December 2025, arguing that provisions requiring minimum kennel sizes were unrealistic and would harm farmers and rural households. Parliament's attempt to override the veto — which would require a three-fifths majority — failed to garner enough support after Law and Justice MPs who had initially backed the bill declined to vote against the president they helped elect.
