Warsaw seeks judicial independence
The EU announced on Wednesday it is launching legal action against Poland for ignoring European Union law and undermining the independence of its national judiciary.
EU economy commissioner Paolo Gentiloni said the infringement proceedings targeted Poland for breaching the primacy of EU law and for deciding that certain articles of EU treaties were incompatible with Polish laws.
The step escalates a long-running feud between Warsaw and Brussels over Poland’s perceived backsliding on EU democratic norms.
