Poland's President Vetoes Renewable Energy and Price Bill
Poland's new President blocked a law about wind farms and energy prices.
He didn't like that the law tried to do two things at once: make it easier to build wind farms and keep energy prices low.
The President thought the government was trying to trick him.
He wants to make a separate law just for cheaper energy.
This is the first time the President has disagreed with the Prime Minister on a big law.

The bill aimed to ease wind farm construction rules and extend energy price freezes.
The President opposed the combined bill, calling it blackmail.

The veto marks the first major clash between the President and Prime Minister.
