Waszczykowski: Poland will discuss Venice Commission opinion

Poland's Foreign Minister, Witold Waszczykowski has said that Poland will dispute the opinion of the Council of Europe's Venice Commission concerning the reform of PiS-backed constitutional tribunal reform. The draft version of the document, which leaked to the media two weeks ago, slammed the amendment saying it threatens the rule of law in Poland. The official opinion is to be issued later this week. "We will dispute this opinion," Waszczykowski told public radio on Thursday, adding that the ministry has received a draft version of the opinion.
