On September 24, the European Commission published a statement on the filing of a lawsuit against Poland because of the judicial reform carried out by Warsaw.

The European Commission considers the Polish judicial reform as a challenge to the common foundations of the alliance, as it does not comply with the Treaty on the EU and undermines the principles of the independence of the courts.

In accordance with the entered into force in July law, about 40% of the Supreme Court judges can be dismissed. This is due to the provision allowing sending judges to retire early. The law provides that for continuation of service the judge must provide documents on the passage of medical examination and obtain the consent of the head of state. Under the new law, the Minister of Justice of Poland will now be able to initiate resignation, as well as appoint judges of the Supreme Court.

The forthcoming litigation is unlikely to increase the degree of trust between Warsaw and Brussels. And given the emerging trends in the EU on linking financing to “compliance with European norms,” ​​we can assume that the ringing of the euro in the Polish budget will subside.

These events are intertwined in the ongoing EU-Poland conflict for almost a year now. Both sides are very determined and do not intend to give in.

It is quite possible that Warsaw will be demonstratively punished for the edification of Hungary and the Czech Republic, which also do not demonstrate an ideal obedience to a unified European policy.

This fact, in conjunction with the upcoming Brexit, is fully capable of becoming the decisive moment that will push Poland to break off relations with the EU and search for its new destiny.
