Andrzej Duda has laid out plans to directly ask his citizens about the country’s relations with Brussels.

The referendum would ask Polish people whether or not the nation’s membership of the bloc should be guaranteed in the constitution.

And another question would see them asked whether they think the primacy of the Polish constitution over international and European law should be guaranteed.

Mr Duda said: “I thought a constitutional referendum should not have more than 10 questions but decided today’s project will encompass 15 questions, and I want the Committee to discuss this topic.”

The President said the finalised questions will be announced once a formal proposal is presented to the Senate, and this will not happen before July 20.

Since Mr Duda’s election three years ago, Poland has been in a tug-of-war over sovereignty with the European Union.

Relations between the bloc and Warsaw stirred in December, when Mr Duda signed a law allowing for the overhaul of the Polish judiciary by ruling right-wing party Law and Justice.
