Poland correctly defies EU ‘supreme court’ potentates on justice appointments…….


 

To hell with the EU “supreme court”, itself loaded with black-robed hacks…

 

Who voted for these jackasses anyway? What are the checks and balances over their power?

 

The country’s governing Law and Justice party (PiS) said the legal change, which forces judges to step down at 65 instead of 70, was necessary to rid the court of communist-era judges and improve the court’s efficiency.

Poland defies EU over Supreme Court judge appointments

 

Poland’s President Andrzej Duda has appointed 27 new Supreme Court judges, despite internal and European Union pressure not do so.

 

The European Commission has referred Poland to the European Court of Justice over its judiciary policies.

 

Earlier this year the government lowered the retirement age of judges, forcing many to retire.

 

Opponents say the move aims to appoint favourable replacements, undermining democracy and judicial independence.

 

The country’s governing Law and Justice party (PiS) said the legal change, which forces judges to step down at 65 instead of 70, was necessary to rid the court of communist-era judges and improve the court’s efficiency.

 

The new judges will work in the top court’s Civil Law and Criminal Law Chambers as well as its newly created Chamber of Extraordinary Supervision, according to Polish public broadcast reports.
