Abstract

Summary The author explores symbolic legislation in Poland. Three instances of such legislation enacted since the 2015 general election are analysed in this essay. The author recognizes symbolic legislation of the negative type and provides specific features. She asks about the causes for such activity of the Parliament. The author has outlined the conclusion, that possible reasons may be: a deficient process of the transition to democracy, and past negative time perspective. Both reasons disturb the sustainable development of Polish society. As a possible solution, the author considers a properly functioning education system. However, this would be regulated by an act of Parliament that may be entirely symbolic as well.
