Inside the ruling camp there is simply a dispute over the ban on trade on Sunday. – If the bill comes into force, many PiS voters will see it as an intervention in their private habits. In Hungary Viktor Orban has already done this lesson and after a year the ban was lifted," says Łukasz Warzech, writer "To Things".


Trade restrictions on Sunday request "Solidarity". Last week the government adopted a position on this issue, which recommended further work on the project. The Council of Ministers does not agree, among others, to punish people who break the ban. According to the household minister Elżbieta Rafalska, akin solutions function in the west of Europe and Germany is guaranteed free Sundays in the Constitution.


Łukasz Warzecha convinces that there are many professional groups who want to work on Sunday. As he adds, if the ban enters into force, the trade will take over mainly petrol stations on that day, and the retail chains will likely extend the working time of their employees on Fridays and Saturdays. There is besides an aspect of social engineering. It is said that if people don't go to the mall, they will cultivate household life. It is simply a scandalous paternalism. You are not here to give us household life and to teach us how to spend our free time – says the writer "To Things" in a peculiar video commentary.
