Due to how much room putting all 9 parties would take, I will include the biggest parties with the most visible political differences:
Razem (Most left wing, opposition) --> 4% poll support
- Lewica (Left wing, part of government). ---> 8-10% Poll support
Koalicja Obywatelska (Centre, part of government) --> 30% Poll support
Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (Right Wing Christian Nationalist, Opposition) --> 25% poll support
Confederation (Far Right, Opposition) --> 15% support
Razem
Razem sees men's problems more clearly than most of the political scene. The problem is that it's primarily in the program and statements.
✅ Adrian Zandberg has spoken out in favor of equal retirement age and seniority pensions.
✅ Razem proposes an equal split of the 480-day parental leave and the "Housing First" program, which is particularly important for men, who make up 80% of people in homelessness crises.
✅ Marta Stożek and Marcelina Zawisza have intervened on policy toward boys and men. Zawisza also asked about men's health prevention and their homelessness.
✅ The entire Razem circle — 4/4 — supported the bill on the status of the nearest person, which is also beneficial for male couples. The president vetoed the bill.
This is more than silence. But we settle for effects, not intentions.
❌ There is no Razem bill equalizing the retirement age. Instead, there's chaos: The "Senior Card" from December 2023 spoke of 65 years for both sexes, Zandberg in 2025 - about 60, and the current declaration avoids giving a number.
❌ There is no bill or funded program on men's health and suicides.
❌ There is no bill reducing the educational gap for boys.
❌ There are no solutions on shared custody, enforcing contact with children, and parental alienation.
❌ There is no package on unequal military qualification or workplace safety, even though men dominate among fatal accident victims.
- Lewica
The Left can be credited with two partial achievements:
🔹 Widow's pension has been introduced, but the unequal age has been retained. A woman acquires entitlements at age 60, a man only at age 65. Men make up just 12% of applicants.
🔹 Government Plenipotentiary Katarzyna Kotula co-authored the bill on the status of the nearest person, and The Left voted for it. This is an important step also for men in informal relationships. However, the bill was vetoed, so the real situation of citizens has not changed.
And in the areas for which The Left is directly responsible?
❌ Zero strategy for men's and boys' health.
❌ Zero program to counter male suicide and homelessness.
❌ Zero program to improve boys' situation in education.
❌ Zero bill strengthening fathers' rights and enforcing contact with children, or rather denying the phenomenon of alienation.
❌ Zero project to abolish unequal retirement age, or rather mocking the idea.
- Koalicja Obywatelska
They hold power. And what have they done with men's problems?
🔹 "My Health", PSA for men over 50, HPV vaccinations for boys, and IVF funding are necessary actions. These are universal programs that men also benefit from - not a coherent policy toward their issues.
🔹 KO supported the widow's pension but left thresholds of 60 for women and 65 for men in it.
🔹 The government pushed through the law on the status of the nearest person. It also gave men access to medical information, the right to burial, housing, and family pension.
And that's the end of it.
❌ No program to prevent men's suicides was created with a budget, deadlines, and measurable goals.
❌ There is no national men's and boys' health strategy, public andrology network, systemic urological diagnostics, or comprehensive male infertility treatment program. A man has to get a PSA after fifty and then fend for himself.
❌ A man still retires five years later.
❌ The "Mama 4+" program still treats the father like a substitute parent. The mother can receive the benefit from age 60, the father from 65 – essentially only after the mother's death, her abandonment of the children, or her cessation of raising them. KO inherited this absurdity and did not fix it.
❌ The shared custody bill only appeared after over two and a half years and still has not been adopted by the Council of Ministers. There is no binding law effectively protecting the child's bond with both parents, enforcing contact, and countering the isolation of the child from a parent. The father can still lose years of the child's life waiting for the next court decision.
❌ MEN noticed the educational gap for boys and hired an expert. At the same time, it admitted it does not conduct separate analyses of programs and does not plan specific changes or recommendations for work with boys. An expert without a program, budget, and schedule is an alibi, not reform.
❌ There is no systemic support for single fathers, men experiencing violence, or men in homelessness crisis. There are statistics, conferences, and occasional declarations. There is no policy.
❌ Mandatory military qualification still applies essentially to all 19-year-old men, and women only with selected qualifications. KO has not presented a bill equalizing obligations.
- PIS
What has it done since the elections?
✅ In October 2024, PiS MPs signed two important interpellations: on discrimination against men and on their suicides. The first was a cross-party initiative and accurately described health, retirement, family, educational, and military problems.
🔹 PiS supported the widower's pension and proposed a higher share of the second benefit. That's a real plus, but the law still left a five-year age difference between women and men.
From there, the political void begins.
❌ The PiS interpellation correctly diagnosed the problems. But no comprehensive bill, strategy, timeline, or funding followed the diagnosis. PiS managed to ask the government what it would do for men. It couldn't write its own answer.
❌ PiS did not present a national men's and boys' health strategy, a mental health prevention program, or a project for systemic urological and oncological screenings.
❌ No PiS bill emerged to introduce shared custody, effective enforcement of child contact, or child protection from isolation from a parent. In July 2026, the party held a family debate. The official statement mentioned a "global attack," values, and projects "on the table." There was no concrete paternity law. I'm holding it accountable for what was submitted to the Sejm, not what's supposedly on the party table.
❌ All present PiS MPs voted against the Closest Person Status Act. They thereby rejected concrete rights also for men living outside marriage: medical information, representing a loved one, housing protection, and social entitlements. Ideological warfare turned out to be more important than people's everyday safety.
❌ PiS still defends the retirement age of 60 for women and 65 for men. After losing the elections, its government submitted a seniority pension bill: 38 years for women and 43 for men. The new government withdrew it, and PiS didn't resubmit it as an MP's bill. Besides, the bill didn't eliminate inequality - it just copied it.
❌ The PiS-created "Mama 4+" program still treats the father as a backup parent. A father can basically receive the benefit only after the mother's death, abandonment of the children by her, or cessation of their upbringing - and five years later than a woman.
❌ PiS did not present a program to reduce the educational gap for boys, support single fathers, combat male homelessness, or ensure equal division of defense duties. A man still must mandatory report for military qualification. PiS doesn't propose equal duties.
- Confederation
What has it actually done since the elections?
✅ MPs signed interpellation no. 5381, which broadly described discrimination against men—from health, education, and pensions to fatherhood and military duties.
✅ The Confederation submitted a bill providing for misdemeanor and criminal liability for persistently blocking a child's contact with the other parent. I also signed this bill.
🔹 Work on shared custody is nearing completion.
This marks the end of the most important specifics. Political decoration begins.
❌ In January 2024, the Confederation established the Parliamentary Team for Equal Men's Rights. One meeting took place—an organizational one. After that—no substantive meetings.
The team didn't stop operating. It never started. The team chairman himself called it a "joking idea," a "political symbol," and an initiative created mainly from "stunt motivations." Men's issues thus served as a joke at feminists' expense, rather than systematic work.
❌ The same chairman said he doesn't want to equalize the retirement age and would leave women with their current privilege. Another Confederation MP later considered equal age merely a "matter to discuss." There's still no bill. Men continue to work five years longer, and the "equal rights" team doesn't demand equal rights.
❌ In the final vote on the widow's pension, the Confederation didn't cast a single vote in favor—two MPs voted against, twelve abstained. The law left a five-year age inequality but gave widowers the option to combine benefits. Even partial support for men didn't gain Confederation's backing.
❌ All present Confederation MPs voted against the bill on the status of the nearest person. They rejected specific rights also for men living outside marriage.
❌ The advantage of women in completing studies was explained by a Confederation MP as their "traits and dispositions."
❌ The boys' educational gap, their worse results, and more frequent dropouts from the system were not analyzed.
