The European Union’s executive arm is poised to sue Poland over a disciplinary regime for judges, testing one of the conservative ruling party’s main policies days before a general election it’s poised to win.
The European Commission is set to say the Polish disciplinary procedures, a part of a broader judicial overhaul, compromise judiciary independence and exposes judges to political control. It will request a fast-track proceeding in the bloc’s top court, according to an EU official with knowledge of the matter.
