Poland can't get its money back after the EU fined the country's previous, conservative government
Wednesday, 5 February 2025 () Poland won’t get any money back after its previous, conservative government was hit by a record-breaking fine by the European Union for ignoring a court order to undo changes to its judicial system. An EU high court said on Wednesday that the EU’s executive Commission was within its rights to withhold 320 million euros, or about $332 million, from payments to Poland, after Warsaw refused to dismantle a judicial disciplinary chamber used to target judges who spoke out against the ruling Law and Justice party. Poland's government of pro-rule of law Prime Minister Donald Tusk has stepped its cooperation with the Commission, but the objection to the fine had yet to wind its way through the court.
