Poland's new government seeks to revamp the Constitutional Tribunal due to concerns over its legitimacy and close ties to the previous government. The Tribunal's ability to block legislation is crucial for the country's judicial system, prompting the government to consider replacing all judges with new ones elected with a three-fifths majority of lawmakers. However, the president's veto power poses a challenge to these reforms. The government also plans to separate the roles of justice minister and prosecutor general, while presenting an action plan on judicial independence to unblock EU funds and avoid the EU's Article 7 procedure.
