The Speaker of the Polish Parliament, Włodzimierz Czarzasty, has announced the submission of a judiciary reform proposal by Karol Nawrocki to the Venice Commission for review. This decision comes after the President's legislative proposal received criticism for potentially infringing on judicial independence and the separation of powers, following the government's proposal being vetoed. Czarzasty stated that the project’s legal recommendations indicated serious concerns regarding compliance with the principles of judicial autonomy.

This legislative initiative by Nawrocki has been described by some as a declaration of war against the government led by Donald Tusk, the European Union, and judges who have defended the rule of law and apply European law in their proceedings. The submission to the Venice Commission indicates a significant political maneuver where legal expertise will be sought to assess the implications of the proposal on Poland's judiciary. The Venice Commission is an advisory body of the Council of Europe that focuses on issues of constitutional law and governance.

The timing of this submission is also critical, as it follows a phase of growing tensions between the Polish government and institutions that aim to uphold democratic norms. The outcome of the deliberations by the Venice Commission might not only influence domestic legal frameworks but could also have broader implications for Poland's relationship with the European Union and its commitment to upholding fundamental democratic principles.
