Polish politicians from the Poland 2050 faction are set to participate in the Walk for Democracy, a civic march organized to mark Constitution Day on May 3. The group’s deputy chairman, Michał Kobosko, described the event as a reminder that democracy requires daily vigilance and cannot be taken for granted.
The Hołownia Party Organizes the Walk for Democracy
On May 3, the Walk for Democracy will enter its schedule as a civic demonstration. The event begins at noon in front of the Constitutional Tribunal and proceeds through the capital’s streets, pausing at six symbolic locations that represent the six pillars of democracy. Stops are planned near the Ministry of National Education, the Sejm, and the Supreme Court, among other sites. The march is expected to conclude at approximately 3:30 pm. Organized by Action Democracy and the seniors of the University of the Third Age 2050, with the Committee for the Defense of Democracy as a partner, the walk aims to honor democratic heritage and encourage reflection on the values that sustain a free society.
The march will be joined by Poland 2050 party leader Szymon Hołownia, deputy chairman Michał Kobosko, party secretary Agnieszka Buczyńska, and other party officials. This gathering intends to demonstrate solidarity with democratic institutions without hosting formal political speeches.
Kobosko Emphasizes: No Political Campaigns During the March
In a conversation with the Polish Press Agency, Kobosko underscored the significance of the May 3 anniversary for Polish history and for the protection of democracy. The message conveyed was clear: democracy stands firm through strong institutions like the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Tribunal, and Parliament, along with independent media and robust checks and balances. Kobosko noted that in recent years, attempts were made to weaken these safeguards, and the public response helped resist many changes. The Walk for Democracy serves to stress that democracy requires ongoing defense, not a one-time achievement.
Kobosko added that the event will not feature political speeches, and the party’s representatives intend to honor the May 3 Constitution and recall enduring values that are particularly relevant in an election year. The organizers and participants aim to show respect for the constitutional tradition while focusing on shared democratic principles rather than electoral campaigning.
There was also inquiry about whether Poland 2050 politicians would join another large-scale demonstration anticipated for June, led by another political figure. Time would tell how that event would unfold.
May 3, 1791 — A Day of National Significance
May 3 is celebrated in Poland as National Day in honor of the Constitution of May 3, 1791. The text was the first modern constitution in Europe and the second in the world, after the American Constitution. The holiday, established in 1919, reflects a long historical arc. During the era of the People’s Republic of Poland, the celebration faced suppression, and it was reinstated as a national holiday in 1990, reflecting the country’s broader return to democratic norms.
