Obniżenie emerytur funkcjonariuszy służb mundurowych nabytych począwszy od 1990 r. a standardy konstytucyjne

Abstrakt

The article concerns the problem of law amendments introduced in regard to the social security of the Polish officers of the former security services, who also served their duties after the collapse of communist system in 1989/1990. The amendment of the act of 16 December 2016 on social security has dramatically reduced the pensions of such officers. The Author criticizes the adopted amendment. The criticism relates to the definition of the totalitarianism (the temporal limits) and other issues, like the unfair and discriminatory character of the amendment, which are in contradiction with the provisions of the Polish Constitution (the principle of dignity, the principle of equal treatment, the right to a fair trial, the property rights and the principle of lex retro non agit). In conclusion, the Author states, that the amendment of 16 December 2016 is obviously in contradiction with the Polish Constitution of 1997 and the regulation of the freedoms and rights of persons and citizens.
