ft.comToo much I think. We also have a Sunday limit regarding trading in UK and you can only do it from 11.00-16.00. Banning it completely seems like suppressing people's freedom to choose what to do with their time.

The current government did try to remove that, but it was blocked. I doubt it'll last much longer though..

Polish government passes bill to limit Sunday trading by 2020
Poland’s parliament has approved a bill that will almost completely phase out Sunday trading by 2020.
The law — put forward by the ruling Law and Justice party and backed by unions and the Catholic church — will limit Sunday trade to two Sundays a month from March next year, and then one Sunday a month in 2019.
From 2020, stores will only be allowed to open only on seven Sundays a year. E-commerce will be exempted from the ban. Cafes and restaurants will also be allowed to stay open.
Critics say the bill will cost jobs and slow Poland’s economy, but its backers argue that it will allow workers in the retail industry to spend more time with their families.
In a parliamentary session that was also notable for the fact that Jaroslaw Kaczynski — the head of the ruling Law and Justice party — spent some of it reading an atlas of cats, lawmakers also voted to send President Andrzej Duda’s proposals for overhauling the judicial system to a parliamentary committee.
The move clears the way for Law and Justice to amend President Duda’s proposals, and then put a new version to parliament. The amended bill, which has been the subject of months of negotiations between Mr Kaczynski and Mr Duda, is likely to be debated in the first week of December.
Law and Justice’s reform plans have sparked controversy with critics claiming that the judicial overhaul will undermine the rule of law. The government claims that the reforms are needed as the judicial system is inefficient and has not been purged since the collapse of Communism.

Sounds like a bad idea.
It is but many other countries already have this. At least we're not alone.
I personally don't see it as such, why specifically is it bad for anyone?
Because you won’t be able to get it do anything on a Sunday.
