Duda: Referendum on constitution to be held on November 11 next year

President Andrzej Duda announced that he will ask the Senate to organize the referendum “aimed to decide on the foundation of our future constitution” on the next year's Independence Day (November 11). The president still did not reveal what kind of questions he wants to ask. Duda announced his decision during televised speech to the nations on the second anniversary of his presidency. “Poland needs a new constitution to more efficiently and effectively develop, to be a nation which listens to its citizens, to be strong and held in high regard globally, at the same time to be close to its people, and guarantee them freedom and equality,” Duda said. Current Polish constitution was adopted in 1997, after national referendum.
