Legal Regulations of the Political Neutrality of the Civil Service in Poland

The principle of neutrality of the civil service is one of the pillars of the functioning of the civil service in Poland and should be strictly observed by its members. The problem is often the very understanding of the word “apoliticality” and the application of this principle in both official and private life by members of the civil service. The purpose of the article is to discuss legal, in particular, constitutional regulations of political neutrality of the civil service in Poland and to present the problem of the limits of the loyalty of the civil service to the state apparatus and the limits of state interference in the civil service. The verification of the research thesis will be supported by research based on non-reactive research methods. In addition to literature analysis, a dogmatic and legal method will be used to examine the legal acts regulating the political neutrality of the civil service in Poland.
