Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that the draft law has already been drawn up, but it is still being harmonized among the coalition.
"The government consists - whether we like it or not - of four political forces that have certain differences of opinion and somewhat different principles on abortion and civil partnership. Next week we will decide not as a government, but as parliamentary clubs, on the presentation of this and possibly other projects," Tusk said.
Katarzyna Kotula, Minister for Equality, said that negotiations between the parties were in the final stages.
"Hopefully, this project will soon appear in the introduced government bills. Now we are discussing very minor details.... The general framework is ready, the regulatory assessment of the project is ready," the minister said.
She noted that it will be possible to formalize same-sex partnerships as part of the law.
"There are very important decisions of European courts that clearly state that we should move towards formalizing such relationships as well. We have 'rainbow' families where couples have been living together for many years," Katarzyna said.
The law proposal was part of the Civic Coalition's pre-election promises, announced for implementation in the first 100 days of work. The other parties in the coalition also supported the initiative.
