💨 Abstract

The Polish government has proposed a judicial reform to the Council of Europe for approval, aiming to undo changes made by its predecessor that the EU fined Poland for undermining judicial independence. Previous attempts at reform were blocked by President Duda, an ally of the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) government. The PiS altered the judicial appointments system, giving parliament a greater say and setting up a system for disciplining judges.
