"Warning for Europeans". German media on the situation in Poland

German media outlets "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" and "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" discuss the challenges of restoring the rule of law in Poland following the PiS government's actions. They highlight the ongoing power struggle over the Constitutional Tribunal, which has lost its neutrality since 2015 due to political appointments. The commentary notes that attempts by the current government to rectify the situation are hindered by President Karol Nawrocki's refusal to accept oaths from legally elected judges. The situation is described as a dilemma where restoring legality may require further legal violations, raising concerns about the state of democracy in Poland. The articles serve as a warning to Europeans about the importance of strengthening democratic institutions.
