More than half of Poles believe that the president should exercise chief executive power in the country. According to the latest poll of the Pollster investigation Institute, 52% of respondents are in favour of the president's greater power, while 38% like that the Prime Minister should have more competence.
The remaining 10% had no opinion on this. The survey was carried out in the context of plans by president Karol Nawrocki's law firm to start discussions on the division of competences between the president and the government.
The President's constitutional plans
Nawrocki announced in his first message that work on the draft fresh constitution should begin. The President's office wants to initiate a discussion on the redistribution of competences between the highest executive authorities.
According to a strategical communication expert, Dr. Sergius Trzezak, the results of the survey may consequence from the current political situation. "If there is simply a government that is not popular and the president is on the wave due to the fact that there has been a fresh swear-in, it is always a fresh credit for the fresh president" - the expert quoted by "Super Express" explains.
Future strategy changes
The 3rd suggests that the current minute may be appropriate to consider systemic changes. "Perhaps we are at a good time to start discussing changes in the constitution and decide whether we want the cancler system, as it is in Germany, or the presidential system. possibly this is besides the reason for the referendum on this issue. But we should not make systemic changes for a peculiar person, but have a clear goal: a functioning government, a functioning parliament and a functioning executive power" - added the expert.
The survey was carried out from 9 to 11 August utilizing the CAWI method on a example of 1006 adult Poles. The maximum estimation mistake was about 3%.
