The judicial crisis in Poland, caused by the efforts of the government led by Donald Tusk to annul the reforms imposed by the former ruling party, Law and Justice (PiS), has led to unexpected situations in the courts. A recent case in Giżycko revealed that a divorce was declared 'non-existent' due to the signing by a 'neo-judge', appointed following the controversial reforms of 2017. These reforms allowed parliament to control the National Council of the Judiciary, thus undermining the independence of the judiciary, according to the courts of the European Union.
Poland registers approximately 57,000 divorces annually, and many judicial rulings issued by judges appointed through this contested system are now at risk. The Minister of Justice, Waldemar Żurek, emphasized the seriousness of the situation, blaming the PiS reforms and institutional blockages. In contrast, PiS accuses the Tusk government of causing chaos and using the crisis as a political weapon in view of the parliamentary elections. This judicial crisis risks becoming a central topic in the electoral campaign, having a direct impact on the lives of citizens.
