But the deeper goals behind the party’s (PiS - przyp.) attack on the Court are likely more far-reaching and worrisome: to prepare the ground for a raft of legislation that will curtail individual rights and distort democratic institutions, making it difficult to unseat PiS from power.

Polish lawmakers have also introduced amendments to a law on the police and special security services that will significantly increase the government’s ability to wiretap and spy on Polish citizens. That is especially worrisome under a government led by PiS, which has historically led politicized witch-hunts to cast its opponents as spies or communists.

EU leaders also need to consider suspending the flow of EU structural funds to Poland, currently Europe’s largest recipient, unless the PiS government respects the requirements of EU membership. The United States should likewise pressure the Polish government, which is keen to strengthen NATO’s presence in Poland and is set to host a NATO summit this year, by making it clear that it expects its ally to adhere to democratic values.
