Zbigniew Ziobro, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General, recommends disregarding judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). He believes that the CJEU should not be taken seriously and its rulings should be ignored. However, compliance with the principles of the rule of law, including judicial independence, is a condition for accessing the funds due to Poland from the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility.
On July 13, 2023, the CJEU issued a judgment regarding the removal of Judge Igor Tuleya from adjudication and the lifting of his immunity by the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court, deeming the decision incompatible with EU law. Previously, Tuleya had won a case before the European Court of Human Rights.
