Abstract

The article highlights the shift in polish governance and the pressure of the right-wing Law and Justice party (PiS) on the judicial independence. Topics include that the right wing party regularly censors media outlets, prevents freedom of assembly, and restricts the activities of non-governmental associations; and the rise of populism and its influence on the nation's judicial independence.
