Commission backs Tusk as he vows no compromise in court showdown
The European Commission supports Poland's parliament in appointing judges amid a conflict between Prime Minister Tusk and President Nawrocki over judicial reforms. Tusk's government seeks to reverse changes made by the previous PiS administration, criticized for undermining judicial independence. Nawrocki, backed by PiS, has not sworn in judges elected by Tusk's majority, while the Tribunal's leadership, aligned with PiS, obstructs their participation.
