#Poland’s #RuleofLaw Breakdown (Repression of judges update): More defiant *unlawful* repression of 🇵🇱 judges continues with Judge Rutkiewicz the latest 🇵🇱 judge *unlawfully* suspended by *unlawful* appointee of MoJ/PG for applying i.a. 🇪🇺 law/latest ECJ infringement ruling

This gave @GoodLobbyProfs no choice but to pen another statement of support. One can only hope @vonderleyen @VeraJourova @dreynders have already done so privately & are also busy working on new Art 258 actions, Art 260 referral to ECJ + activation of RoL Conditionality Regulation

In parallel, we are witnessing active (not to say criminal) collusion btw unlawful “judges” of Supreme Ct, unlawfully composed “Const Tribunal” & Polish gov to obstruct compliance with ia ECJ judgment in C-487/19 (re #FakeJudge of “Extraordinary Chamber”)

This pattern of active collusion with view of perpetuating systemic violations of 🇵🇱🇪🇺 #ruleoflaw requirements also concerns ECtHR judgment in Dolińska-Ficek and Ozimek v. Poland with – I kid you not – the unlawful judge at origin of C-487/19 imploring the government to step in..

This has led to unprecedented rebuke from remaining independent SCt judges (mind you, a purge is in pipeline to get rid of them)

Perhaps @vonderleyen Commission will wake up & heed the stark unprecedented warning we heard from CJEU President recently (end)

PS. Here is new President of 🇩🇪 Federal Constitutional Court on (the destruction of) judicial independence in 🇵🇱
