ABSTRACT
Objectives:
To critical analysis of legal solutions regarding the prerogative of the Prime Minister related to local government units.
Material and methods:
analytical and formal-dogmatic and theoretical-legal method
Results:
The results of the analysis indicate significant similarities in the content of legal provisions at all levels of local government. Moreover, they show features of inconsistency with the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, striking at the independence of local government units.
Conclusions:
The President of the Council of Ministers is one of the more important bodies of the system of the Republic of Poland. Its role stems from the provisions of the Constitution of Poland and special statutes and has not been limited to responsibilities and competences associated with central administration. The President of the Council of Ministers was given prerogatives towards local government units and their bodies. These prerogatives do not require countersign, but pertain to the content of statutes of local government units, to dismissing and suspending authorities and establishing receivership.
