The Venice Commission has issued an opinion stating that a Polish bill proposed by President Nawrocki, intended to address court backlogs, poses a threat to the independence of the judiciary. The bill, which outlines disciplinary measures for judges, was assessed and found to be unlikely to resolve the current impasse within the Polish legal system. According to the Commission’s report, published Wednesday, the proposed legislation risks undermining the impartiality of the courts. The assessment highlights concerns regarding potential repercussions for judges and the overall rule of law in Poland. The Commission’s opinion suggests the bill does not offer a viable solution to existing issues with court efficiency. This critique adds to ongoing international scrutiny of judicial reforms in Poland.
