Łukasz Warzecha wrote that entrepreneurs from the brewing and winemaking industries pointed out what he considered absurd regulations in the adopted law and warned about its consequences. He assessed that advertising regulations could harm Polish companies, give an advantage to large enterprises, and cost the gastronomy sector hundreds of millions of zlotys due to changes in the equipment of outdoor seating areas. Warzecha stated that the law could put President Karol Nawrocki, who had repeatedly declared support for Polish business, in a difficult position. He added that industry protests could complicate his signing of the law, although — as he assessed — personal freedom was not a determinant of the president's strategy. He called on brewers and winemakers for a quick mobilization beyond online protests. He pointed out that they could join the protest organized by the Council of Entrepreneurs on October 15 in front of the KPRM regarding the unfulfilled promise concerning ZUS. #PolskiBiznes #Protest #Ustawa (translated)
