The Romanian Judges’ Forum Association expresses its support for Polish magistrates in their fight to preserve the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary within the European Union

Noticing that on 8 April 2020 the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled on interim measures that the Disciplinary Chamber of the Polish Supreme Court may not conduct disciplinary proceedings against judges or refer them to courts which do not meet the requirements for independence under EU law,

Observing that this ruling is in force until the CJEU renders its final judgment on the European Commission’s complaint against the Polish government in Case C-791/19,

Noticing that Polish magistrates who have criticised  the government for breaking the rule of law are being currently investigated and even suspended from official duties by the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court (on 18 November 2020 judge Igor Tuleya was suspended from his duties as a judge),

Sharing the values and the message of the LETTER OF EUROPEAN MAGISTRATES, initiated by Polish magistrates on 23 November 2020, but common to all European Union magistrates,

The Romanian Judges’ Forum Association urges the European Commission to undertake further action aimed at observing the European Union Treaties and the execution of the decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
