Jarosław Kaczyński’s words about the causes of low fertility in Poland were widely covered by the media. – I am not in favor of very early motherhood, because a woman must also mature to be a good mother, but how at 25 gives in the neck, well … – the PiS chairman laughed during the meeting with the residents of Ełk. The statement was criticized by opposition politicians and celebrities, including Anna Lewandowska. The trainer disagreed with the “unfair accusation of women” and ignoring the real causes of low births. Ełk’s words were also picked up by foreign media. The cable on the remarks of the leader of the PiS was prepared by the American agency Associated Press.

“Opposition politicians, activists and celebrities have accused 73-year-old bachelor Jarosław Kaczyński of detachment from reality. They also argue that Kaczyński, Poland’s most powerful politician since 2015, is himself partly responsible for the low birth rate of Central Europe’s 38 million inhabitants”. The author drew attention to the criticisms of the PiS, which combine the low number of births, eg with the restrictive law on abortion in Poland. The text was published for AP by foreign portals – the American Washington Post and ABC News. An article devoted to Kaczyński’s words was also published by Bloomberg.
