What Polish People Think about the Changes to the Judiciary
The public assessment of the changes to the judicial system brought in by Law and Justice governments before and since the 2019 elections is not unequivocal. Among those surveyed, three virtually equal groups can be identified: those in favour of the changes (30%), those against (31%) and those in favour of some changes and against others (30%).
In this controversy surrounding the changes to the judiciary, the people or bodies that elicit most trust in respondents are President Andrzej Duda and the European Union. Those eliciting the least are the National Council of the Judiciary and the opposition.
