Piotr Maciej Kaczyński argues that since 2015, Poland’s Law and Justice (PiS) party has undertaken a policy of radical change. Further, some reforms, such as that of the judiciary, have put Warsaw on a collision course with EU institutions. However, Kaczyński also believes that much of the criticism Poland has received from abroad has not been nuanced enough. In response, he here provides a clearer picture by examining three aspects of the Polish-EU relationship: 1) the rule of law; 2) economic performance; and 3) Poland’s political position in the EU.
