Is PiS attempting to politicize the judiciary?

While PiS has already harnessed the first two, the third has still remained fairly independent. PiS has suggested amendment to the Constitution so that the President can choose his own president of the Constitutional Tribunal. There is another bill from Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro which strengthens government control over the judiciary by giving them the right to appoint a temporary president of a given court. Such a temporary president will be more vulnerable to pressure from the ministry, as they can be dismissed at once. According to the bill, the National Council of the Judiciary would also be more subject to the party's influence. (Gazeta Wyborcza, pp.1, 5) J.L.
