Poland's Judicial System Reform
The Polish government led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk aims to restore the country's independent judiciary after the right-wing Law and Justice party made significant changes to the judicial system. The new government faces challenges as it attempts to reverse the previous administration's overhaul of the judiciary, which has been condemned by the European Union. Warsaw Judge Igor Tuleya, who was suspended for speaking out against the government's reforms, has become a symbol of the fight for democracy in Poland.
