"The European Commission is determined to defend the rule of law throughout the European Union," Sylwia Gregorczyk-Abram, advocate, co-founder of the Free Courts initiative and the Justice Defense Committee, said in an interview with EURACTIV.pl.
In her opinion, the Court of Justice of the EU will decide on the imposition of sanctions within a few or a dozen or so days. However, the lawyer does not expect anyone to be held responsible.
"If, however, there is a change of power, and it is taken over by the democratic opposition, there are many possibilities of accountability for actions - obviously in accordance with the law, procedures, in the constitutional order - before the State Tribunal or criminal liability for violating the powers of public officials, depending on the situation," she added.
In her opinion, Law and Justice (PiS) aims to introduce changes to the Disciplinary Chamber, but these changes will only be apparent.
"In fact, the liquidation of the Disciplinary Chamber should start with the National Council of the Judiciary, and not with the change of the name and transfer of these people to another unit in the Supreme Court or the creation of another, with a different name, with a different structure," Sylwia Gregorczyk-Abram assessed.
