Poland’s president can propose constitutional changes, but they need two-thirds approval from the lower house and a majority in the Senate, both controlled by the liberal coalition opposed to Nawrocki. The right-wing PiS party supporting Nawrocki lacks parliamentary majority, blocking his amendments. Nawrocki is in a political tussle with pro-EU Tusk, seeking more power. Appointments to key council positions on Sunday were symbolic, marking May 3 as Constitution Day. Tusk posted: “Only those nations that respect their constitutions stand a chance of victory.” The Council for the New Constitution has until the end of Nawrocki’s term in 2030 to draft an alternative constitution.
