safe majority but not enough to counter presidential veto.

What does presidential veto include? Could it, for example, block forming a government that is not led by a specific party?

[–] misk@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

President can't block it but will likely delay forming new government by nominating PiS first. This will obviously fail but will give PiS one more month to entrench in some public institutions.

President can veto any law passed by the parliament. To counter that 276 votes are needed.
