Seeing systemic threat to the rule of law in Poland, the EU-Commission has decided today, to enter the next phase of the rule of law framework. Today’s decision underlines once again that the Polish government has so far failed to address the criticism. The reform of the Polish constitutional court remains the most worrying part, as it undermines a central pillar of Polish democracy. Today’s decision sends a strong signal of support towards the opposition movement fighting for democracy in Poland.
