Polish Presidential Candidate Nawrocki Proposes EU Climate Policy Referendum

Karol Nawrocki, a candidate in Poland's presidential election, has proposed holding a referendum on the European Union's climate policy. Nawrocki referenced his campaign commitment to the Solidarity trade union, where he pledged to take steps to mitigate the negative consequences of the Green Deal. The Green Deal is the EU's flagship climate policy aimed at making Europe carbon neutral by 2050, but it has faced criticism from some member states over its economic impact on traditional industries.
