President DUDA has promised to exercise his veto power over the law, which is among three key judicial reforms passed by the parliament.
The changes have been greeted with days of demonstrations across the country, and also set the stage for on a collision course between Poland’s right-wing government and the European Union.
The European Commission had threatened to impose sanctions this week if the reforms were not scrapped.
European Council President DONALD TUSK, who is a former Polish Prime Minister, warned of what he called a black scenario that could ultimately lead to the marginalisation of Poland in Europe.
