PSL’s (Polish: Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe) MP expressed his lack of personal support for legal regulation of same-sex unions in an interview with Radio Zet. According to Sawicki, non-heteronormative people can just go to public notary "to sign a notarial act and without any problem regulate whatever they want".

Sawicki's statement was addressed on X by the "Miłość nie wyklucza" (English: Love Does Not Exclude) association where it listed the things that cannot be regulated with a notarial act. These are fundamental issues for any lasting relationship, such as the right to decide where to be buried, inheritance issues or joint taxation.

Love Does Not Exclude showed that Sawicki is speaking on a subject he is de facto unfamiliar with. The association also stressed that even if the reality was as Sawicki presented it and same-sex couples could indeed acquire the same rights at a notary as heterosexual couples, requiring them to pay extra to lawyers to do so would still be discriminatory.

A quick glance at Wikipedia shows where those opposing the legalisation of same-sex unions are mentally. In the European Union, non-heteronormative marriage is legal in 19 countries (Estonia will join them in 2024). Civil partnerships are available in 13 countries. Only Poland, Slovakia, Lithuania, Romania and Bulgaria have not yet regulated these issues.

Perhaps the most frustrating thing about the legalisation of same-sex unions in Poland is that the resistance to the issue today is not a reflection of social needs, but only the private views and prejudices of conservative politicians. In many recent polls, more than 60% of Polish women and men support the right of LGBTQ people to enter into legally recognised unions.
