L’Unione europea e l’erosione dello Stato di diritto in Polonia

Abstract

This contribution reconstructs the most relevant contents of the judicial reform promoted in Poland by the dominant party «Law and Justice» (PiS) since 2015, focusing on the responses offered by the European Union to deal with the crisis of the rule of law in the Member State. The aim of the work is to take stock of the effectiveness and consistency of the interventions of the European institutions (in particular, the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council of the EU and the Court of Justice) to guarantee the respect of the rule of law, as a value that represents the cornerstone of the European integration process.
