She has come to international attention for her negative views on same sex marriage and immigration.

Views

She is regarded as belonging to the more Eurosceptic wing of the Law and Justice (PiS) party.

She calls for a “ban [on] 90 percent of today’s abortions”.[2]

In 2013 during a debate of legalising gay marriage she asked “Are sexual ties the only reason why society should finance a barren existence?”[3]

She has accused the German government of deliberately concealing crimes committed by refugees and immigrants.

She accused Jean Claude Juncker of being an alcoholic after his actions during an audience with the Pope.[4]

She has called George Soros the "most dangerous man in the world on Radio Maryja, a Catholic broadcaster. She said his foundations "finance anti-Christian and anti-national activities."[5]
