Crackdown on judiciary in Poland “extremely disturbing” – Fitzgerald

The rule of law in Poland and Hungary has worsened since the EU triggered a mechanism that could potential lead to sanctions against both countries.

The Fine Gael MEP Frances Fitzgerald says Polish judges visited the European Parliament recently to discuss the crackdown on the judiciary there.
