Abstract

This contribution discusses the reasons for the ongoing deconstruction of the judiciary in Poland by a parliamentary majority - elected by a minority - changing the entire system. How could that have happened in a nation governed by the rule of law that met all the requirements of the rule of law when joining the European Union? The article analyses the transformation processes in Poland, discussing the specific difficulties caused by more recent as well as the country’s distant history, with a broad analysis of the numerous fateful factors and events that are crucial for an in-depth understanding of the ongoing convulsions in the rule of law in Poland, which eventually caused a breakdown of the democratic order in Poland.
