Well an euroskeptic government is out and a new as pro-EU as is possible to be (Donald Tusk was President of the EU Council) is in, so all is well... You may recognise a pattern that is at play in other countries both in the EU and outside.
Whether the government was EU skeptic or not is irrelevant. Plenty of EU countries had similarly EU skeptical governments.
What matters are facts: Poland violated several points of the Treaty of the European Union, the EU Charter and CJEU rulings all stating the same thing: to be part of the European Union rule of law must be respected.
In other words: the judicial branch of power has to be independent. Politicians write laws. Judges and not politicians, rule on whether they are respected or not.
And again, I'm Polish, I know what I'm talking about: the previous government went far in bending the constitution, controlling the press and the judges taking our country step after step towards a dictatorship.
How is that related to the comment above?
I can't see any relation either. I get the impression, that the concept of "law", as in written and formalised law, opposed to the spoken will of a leader is going over the head of a lot of people and that missing this conceptual foundation is causing the seemingly nonrelated nature of what they were saying.
So what you say is that you accept one side of extremum but not other side? Democracy as in having common goal is bad but democracy as in tribalism is good?
