The Polish government will “quickly” push through legislation to meet the European Union’s demands on judicial independence if it secures guarantees from Brussels, a top official said.
Szymon Szynkowski vel Sek, Poland’s European affairs minister, said the ruling party will move to address the EU concerns about the overhaul of its judiciary to secure the release of €34.5 billion ($36.3 billion) in post-pandemic aid.
