Poland's Constitutional Tribunal is set to rule on Tuesday on whether the country's constitution or European Union treaties take precedence, a judgment that could further strain Warsaw's already troubled relationship with the bloc.
The catalyst for the ruling has been a long-running dispute with the EU over changes to the court system in Poland, with Brussels angered by what it sees as attempts to undermine the independence of the judiciary. Warsaw accuses Brussels of unjustified meddling in its internal affairs.
The Polish government argues the EU treaties do not give Brussels the right to interfere with the judicial systems of member states and that Poland is being treated unfairly as other European countries organise courts in a similar way. There is no legal way to throw countries out of the EU and surveys show an overwhelming majority of Poles support membership.The government has been accused of politicising key bodies in the judicial system, including the Constitutional Tribunal itself. Poland's ruling nationalists, the Law and Justice party , counter that the reforms were needed to remove communist-era influence, asserting that many judges regarded themselves as above the law.
