Dhe chairman of the right-wing Polish governing party PiS, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, has defended the controversial law, which has been sharply criticized by the EU, on the discipline of judges. “If there are any violations of the law in Poland, they are mainly committed by the courts themselves, and there are countless examples of this,” the real strong man of Poland told the “Bild”. There are groups in Poland that enjoy privileges “mainly from the communist era”. “The courts protect representatives of these groups even in blatant and downright scandalous cases,” said the party leader. He did not give any examples.
