How far can political pressure on the judiciary go? The Judges' Union warns of Polish chaos

The Czech Judges' Union criticized the ongoing political disputes surrounding the Polish Constitutional Court, emphasizing the dangers of politicizing judicial institutions. They called for a return to constitutional norms and warned against unilateral political actions. The situation escalated recently with public protests and confrontations involving Polish officials. Meanwhile, dissatisfaction with the Czech coalition government has risen, and the Czech Constitutional Court rejected complaints from former politician David Rath regarding his corruption case. Additionally, the Supreme Court upheld fines for officials involved in the Bečva river pollution incident, and a tragic plane crash in Florida resulted in fatalities, with investigations ongoing.
