Has the constitutional moment arrived? Advocate Bartosz Lewandowski spoke at the 25th Polska Wielki Projekt Congress

Today, political and legal tensions—both internal and within the international and EU contexts—compel us to carefully consider the future of our country’s political system and the need for a new constitution.

During the panel “A constitutional moment in Poland and the European Union?” at the 25th edition of the Polska Wielki Projekt Congress, advocate Bartosz Lewandowski, Managing Partner of Khanzadyan Lewandowski & Partners, noted that Poland is nearing a constitutional moment – although it has not yet arrived at one.

Advocate Lewandowski stressed that we are facing a profound systemic crisis, evident in debates over the legitimacy of state institutions and the functioning of the justice system. Changing the constitution requires wide public support and a mature public discussion. 

We are witnessing a paradigm shift in Western culture right before our eyes. As geopolitical tensions rise, society is starting to see the importance of political stability, which could shape the future of a new constitutional order. 

The world of Western liberal democracy is experiencing a transformation that prompts us to think more deeply about safeguarding the sovereignty of the constitutional order. 

The Polska Wielki Projekt Congress is one of the most significant pro-state intellectual events in the country—a forum for exchanging ideas and engaging in in-depth debates about Poland’s development. Each year, it gathers leading experts, scientists, practitioners, and public figures to discuss the challenges facing the country. 

As a law firm, we are pleased to have participated in such an essential and inspiring debate on the political system, in-depth reflection on the new constitution, and the future of the state.
