Poland’s membership has been one of the great success stories of the EU since the former communist-bloc country joined in 2004. Its economy has boomed. Its citizens have enjoyed freedoms and opportunities barely imaginable a generation before. Its security has been enhanced as an influential player in a club of friendly nations. These achievements are now at risk because of the Law and Justice government’s almost fanatical drive to hobble Poland’s judiciary, in clear breach of the constitution and now in contravention of its EU obligations.
自波蘭2004年加入歐盟以來(lái)，這個(gè)前共產(chǎn)主義陣營(yíng)國(guó)家的加入一直是歐盟最成功的故事之一。波蘭經(jīng)濟(jì)蓬勃發(fā)展；波蘭公民享受到了上一代人難以想象的自由和機(jī)會(huì)；作為一個(gè)友邦俱樂(lè)部中有影響力的一員，它的安全得到了加強(qiáng)。這些成就現(xiàn)在正面臨風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，因?yàn)椴ㄌm的法律與公正黨(Law and Justice)政府幾乎偏執(zhí)地阻礙波蘭的司法系統(tǒng)，其行為顯然違反了憲法，現(xiàn)在也違反了波蘭對(duì)歐盟負(fù)有的義務(wù)。
