Legal chaos deeps dramatically in Poland, creating a crisis that threatens the function of the entire European Union legal system.
WARSAW, Poland — Legal chaos has deepened dramatically in Poland following the passing of legislation that will allow the government to fire judges whose rulings it does not like — even when those rulings respect EU law.
Laurent Pech, a professor of European law at Middlesex University, London, wrote on Twitter on Friday: “As of yesterday #Poland is no longer a democratic regime governed by #ruleoflaw. ... Process of de facto exit from EU legal order has begun.” Poland’s Senate, which is controlled by the opposition, had rejected the bill. But the upper house only had the power to delay the bill and suggest recommendations and could not stop it. It goes next to the president, who supports it
The legislation passed Thursday has been condemned by the EU, the United Nations and the Council of Europe, the continent’s largest human rights body.
