Double standards at their peak: according to the justice commissioner, Warsaw is on the right track to receive the frozen EU funds. There was no mention of political arrests or media occupation during Didier Reynders' visit to Warsaw.
On January 19, the Commissioner for Justice of the European Commission visited Warsaw, and what he saw convinced him that the new Polish government will indeed lead the country back to the path of the rule of law.
Didier Reynders told journalists: the Polish authorities are determined to restore the rule of law,
and they not only take into account the principles of the Polish legal system, but also harmonize Polish law with EU regulations, writes Mandiner .
"Important initiatives have been launched, and the European Commission fully supports the Polish government in their implementation," said the Commissioner on the side of the new Polish Minister of Justice, Adam Bodnar, adding that he hopes the Polish head of state will not stand in the way of the changes either.
Donald Tusk's pro-EU government is from December
immediately after its inauguration, it began to transform the Polish court system criticized by Brussels,
and he immediately replaced the heads of the public media, and his appointees immediately penetrated the previous program structure.
The Commission made the transfer of funds from the EU recovery fund to Poland dependent on the Polish judicial reform - the Tusk government is now complying with this: they have made personnel changes, separating the positions of the Minister of Justice and the Chief Prosecutor, and
they initiate Poland's accession to the European Public Prosecutor's Office.
The EU Commissioner did not touch on the scandals accompanying the arrest of former government members or the transformation of the public media at his press conference in Warsaw.
