"All right, we are working on a new, better constitution for Poland. And you, according to your own proposal, are beginning to comply with current regulations. Deal?" – so the Secretary of State and the head of the global Policy Bureau, Marcin Przypocz, reacted to the attack by Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
"PS. Don't forget the bill. You gotta respect them too. Laws, not resolutions!" – he called the politician through X.
His message was counter to the earlier entry by Donald Tusk, who took the liberty of criticizing the president of Poland Karol Nawrocki:
"Mr Karol Nawrocki will announce that he will be working on a fresh constitution. I propose we start by respecting the current one" - suggested the Head of the Council of Ministers.
Constitution of 2030. Nawrocki's grand plan
The president of Poland has been informing about the desire to change the constitution for a long time. In a message given after his oath, he declared the establishment of a Constitutional Council:
“The Presidential Palace will become not only the place of functioning of the Constitutional Council, but besides the place where we will open, I hope, a national, honest discussion on what the constitution of 2030 will look like,” said Karol Nawrocki in August 2025.
The president has justified the request to amend the Constitution with a deficiency of transparency of the current Basic Law:
– present citizens request clear, clear principles of cooperation between politicians, safeguarding the interests of sovereignty, safety of the Polish state – said the politician during the speech in the Polish Parliament.
His speech was controversial. any comments pointed to the anticipation of reimbursement at systemic level. Behind Nawrocki's words, there was a desire to introduce the presidential system.
Chancellor strategy versus presidential strategy in Poland
The current strategy in Poland is referred to as a parliamentary office. Powers are divided between the Council of Ministers and the president of the Republic of Poland. However, there have long been voices over the Vistula River about a possible change in the governance structure of the state. However, the problem arises erstwhile discussing the details of specified a change.
Some voters advocate a classical presidential system. In its most extremist form, the institution of the Prime Minister does not function in a country managed in this way. The president can besides be a formal, authoritative and typical head of state and head of government. He frequently besides has more control over parliament (in any systems he can solve it at almost any time) and acts as "ster" in the state.
Some people draw attention to the anticipation of introducing a cancer strategy in Poland. specified a strategy shifts even more competence to the Prime Minister. It means degrading the office of the president only to a typical function and thus resolving any competence disputes.
Changes may besides take a hybrid form, for example aiming to clarify the scope of competences and ways of influencing the country. They do not necessarily should be a full implementation of a peculiar system. Regardless of the final form of the power strategy in Poland, the way to change it is through changes at the constitutional level. And these are a hard and demanding process in parliament.
