The Polish Constitutional Tribunal ruled on Oct. 7 that some of the European Union’s (EU) laws conflict with the country’s constitution and that national laws will have supremacy over those of the EU in areas where they clash.
The decision of the tribunal was filed on a motion by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who requested a review earlier this year on a ruling by the European Court of Justice in March that said Poland’s new regulations for appointing judges to the Supreme Court could violate EU law.
