In remarks which have sparked outrage and have been branded as “insulting” to women, Jaroslaw Kaczynski also said the average man “to develop alcoholism has to drink excessively for 20 years” and “a woman only two”.
Young women drinking too much is partly to blame for Poland’s low birth rate, the country’s ruling party leader has said.
In remarks which have sparked outrage and have been branded as “insulting” to women, Jaroslaw Kaczynski said he does not favour “very early motherhood” because a woman must mature before having children.
The leader of the populist ruling party Law and Justice said if women abuse alcohol up to the age of 25, then “it’s not a good prognosis in these matters”.
“And here it is sometimes necessary to say a little openly, some bitter things. If, for example, the situation remains such that, until the age of 25, girls, young women, drink the same amount as their peers, there will be no children,” said Mr Kaczynski.
He added that the average man “to develop alcoholism has to drink excessively for 20 years” and “a woman only two”.
Mr Kaczynski made the comment at the weekend as he travelled around the country seeking to rally support for his party ahead of next year’s parliamentary election.
