Polish President Karol Nawrocki has called for the preparation of a new constitution, warning that the country’s current political and institutional system requires major reform.

Axar.az reports, citing TVN24, that he made the remarks during the ceremonial celebrations of the 235th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of May 3 at Castle Square in Warsaw.

The head of state stated that Poland needs a “new-generation constitution for 2030,” arguing that the 1997 constitution no longer reflects current realities and requires modernization or replacement.

“The most important thing about the Constitution of May 3 was its capacity for self-correction of the state system. Today we must show the same courage and begin work on a new-generation constitution for 2030,” said Karol Nawrocki.

He stressed that political conflict in the country has gone too far and is undermining social cohesion and state institutions.

“We live in a moment when political conflict is destroying the community and the foundations of the state. Institutions are being drawn into political struggle, and mechanisms meant to balance society are instead generating conflict,” he noted.

The president also warned against excessive division of power, stating that governance should not be split between competing centers.

“We cannot continue to have power divided between two centers. The security situation requires strong but controlled authority derived from the sovereign, the nation,” Nawrocki added.

He further emphasized that democracy must reflect the will of the majority while respecting minority rights, rather than enabling institutional paralysis.
