Prime Minister: Constitution of 3 May is a symbol of free people and nations

Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė has congratulated neighbouring Poland on the occasion of 3 May, Day of the Constitution of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, noting that the Constitution is a symbol of free people and the nation which will never lose its importance, the Office of the Government said.

“The Constitution of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth represented a monumental effort to reform our countries amidst internal challenges and external pressures from imperial powers. Its authors were guided by progressive Western political thought and the ideals of the Enlightenment, encapsulating these principles within the text of the constitution. The existence of this constitution serves as a testament to the civilizational heritage shared by Lithuania and Poland,” said Prime Minister Šimonytė.
