Polish(ing) Broken Tribunal
Blog: Verfassungsblog
Resetting the Constitutional Tribunal in Poland after the Law and Justice Party's eight years in power is a Herculean task. However, the constitutional and political room for maneuver for the new government turns out to be quite limited.

The Polish Rule of Law Breakdown Through Pink Glasses: Gender-based Consequences of the Polish Crisis
Blog: Ideas on Europe
In March 2023, women's rights activist Justyna Wydzyńska was sentenced to eight months of community service for providing a woman in a violent relationship with abortion pills. The very same day, the judge who sentenced Wydzyńska was promoted by the Minister of Justice. This blog post aims to address this gap and argue for a renewed focus on the founding values of Article 2 Treaty on European Union (TEU).

What are the Polish left's post-election prospects?
Blog: The Polish Politics Blog
Although the left looks set to return to government after 18 years, its vote share actually went down in last month's election and it risks being subsumed within a coalition dominated by more economically liberal and socially conservative groupings. The Polish left's strategic dilemma remains that less well-off, economically leftist voters incline towards parties that […]

Polish Re-Democratisation as "Building Back Better"
Blog: Verfassungsblog
Since the new Polish government took power, it has taken first steps to restore the rule of law. These have been quite different in nature, from the soft appeals to comply with the case law of the CJEU to more uncompromising and confrontational measures, like taking control of the public broadcasting TVP. It is clear that restoring a damaged liberal democracy requires a different mindset than fighting its demise. While the latter aims to strategically delay the anticipated undemocratic endeavours, the former must constructively rebuild. I call this 'Building Back Better', akin to the UN risk-reduction approach employed to avoid future disasters.

Why did the opposition win the Polish election?
Blog: The Polish Politics Blog
Poland's opposition parties look set to form the next government because an eclectic liberal-centrist agrarian electoral coalition won over voters who wanted change but not a return to the pre-2015 status quo ante. The opposition benefited from an increase in support and turnout in larger towns and among younger voters, but less photogenic middle-aged electors […]

Can the opposition win this year's Polish election?
Blog: The Polish Politics Blog
Although polarisation of the political scene has led to an increase in support for the main liberal-centrist opposition party this has been largely at the expense of other, smaller anti-government groupings. Opposition parties have also yet to find an effective response to the rise of a radical right grouping that looks likely to hold the […]

Could the migration issue swing this year's Polish election?
Blog: The Polish Politics Blog
Migration is not the most important issue in Poland's October parliamentary election but it could become salient if linked to national security concerns. In a closely-fought contest, where the key to victory is mobilisation of each side's electoral base, it may play a decisive role in determining the outcome, although the main beneficiary could end […]

How will the 'Russian influence' commission affect this year's Polish election?
Blog: The Polish Politics Blog
The law paving the way for a powerful new state commission investigating Russian influence in Polish public life has further polarised an already bitterly-divided political scene. Both the main liberal-centrist opposition and right-wing ruling party believe they will benefit from this ahead of autumn's parliamentary election. Undermining or strengthening democracy? Last month, the Polish political […]
