In the 11th episode of Przez Pryzmat ‘Through the Prism’ a podcast on the context behind contemporary politics, Jakub Jaraczewski, our Researcher coordinator, adresses the challenges of restoring the rule of law in the aftermath of the Law and Justice (PiS) era in Poland and lessons learnt for what lies ahead in Hungary. They discuss why Tusk’s government hasn’t fully reversed PiS’ judicial changes, how the EU unblocked Poland’s recovery funds without implementing full reforms, the most effective tactics PiS used to politicise the judiciary, and what Hungary’s Peter Magyar can learn from Poland’s experience.
