Coverage of a Polish parliamentary vote on the president's veto of a crypto-assets bill.

Our verdict

Unverified

We could not find a record of a 243-191 vote; Poland's Sejm voted 243-192 in December 2025 and 241-198 in September 2026, both short of the three-fifths needed.

What we found

The claim appears to concern Poland, where President Nawrocki vetoed the crypto-assets bill in December 2025, February 2026 and June 2026. The first override vote in December 2025 was 243 to 192, and a September 2026 vote was 241 to 198. We found no record of a 243-191 tally in April 2026, so we cannot confirm the figure.
