The EU is pleased with the new Polish government

European Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders has expressed satisfaction during a visit to Warsaw that Poland’s new government is seeking to reverse the rule-of-law violations that saw its Law and Justice (PiS) predecessor repeatedly clash with Brussels.

We see that the new government is fully determined to restore the rule of law in Poland and we are very happy about it. For a number of years, the European Commission has recognised that there is a serious threat of violating the rule of law in Poland, but I am convinced that Poland can fully restore its position as a state respecting rule-of-law standards.
