She is regarded[by whom?] as belonging to the more Eurosceptic wing of the Law and Justice (PiS) party.[citation needed]
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.[citation needed]
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]
