This article is huge misunderstanding. In order to find out ground of these changes and answer on the question why Zbigniew Ziobra wants to change the law, polish modern history need to be recalled.
Mostly polish legal system was not scrutinized after 1989. In polish courts still you can find lots of people who perfectly remember communists times. Some of them even if they are retired still recommend their own candidats. ( read : their sons and daughters). People who are nominated as a judge in Poland do not have requisit legal knowlege. To be a judge should mean to be "a crown on your legal head" ! Only the best individuals should be appointed as a judge. Legal experience should prevield such choice. In order to be a judge in Poland you have to graduated in law and then special training design for judges. In practice it means that behind the judical table sit a individual without any experience, without any imagination how looks the legal issue. As a consequence of this is a judgement which is being subject of regretful for innocent claimant or defendant. But the worse is that in case when political issue is being involved judgement will be in line of "political requirments". Let me give you an example. Trial of former polish dictators went on for ages. So long that defendant.... passed away.
National Council of the Judiciary exist in order to protect former legal order. Only for this. Judgements in polish courts are not free from prejudicies. They are in line with thinking of previous generation.
