Poland judges: Parliament and Supreme Court issue rival rulings
There is a conflict going on between the Parliament and Supreme Court in Poland as they have both issued contradictory rulings on the appointment of judges.
The Supreme Court of that country said hundreds of judges chosen under new rules were not sufficiently independent and should no longer hear cases. At the same time, lawmakers approved legislation making it easier to fire critical judges.
It marks the latest clash over reforms made by the ruling Law and Justice party since it came to power in 2015.
