The Sejm passed the rule of law bill. Żurek's flagship reform doomed to veto

The Polish parliament passed a controversial law aimed at addressing the status of 'neosędziowie' judges, which will now go to the Senate. The law seeks to invalidate previous judicial appointments made by a disputed body and categorize judges based on their qualifications. While some view the reforms as necessary for judicial integrity, others criticize them as unconstitutional. The bill faces potential veto from President Karol Nawrocki, who has expressed concerns about its implications. The ruling party remains determined to push the legislation forward despite opposition resistance.
