10:13 pm
jobs under the ruling must now be reinstated poland says it will appeal. the controversial law had already come into force here at the country supremes court in warsaw many of the twenty seven newly appointed judges began their work just days ago from the e.c. j.s ruling holt's the forced retirement of judges with immediate effect and reverses the retirement of those already forced to leave their posts. speaking in brussels the polish prime minister said warsaw would consider its response. but the justice minister signaled poland would accept the ruling. as received we are part of the european union and we will respect the e.u.'s laws so far i only know about this ruling from media reports that we will analyze the decision and then make a statement poland is a strong member state of the e.u. and we will honor. the president of poland
10:14 pm
supremes court to gas doff refused to step down when the government tried to force her to retire. passively i'm pleased that we've been had but i'm not pleased about the fact that my country's government didn't do this sooner and we had to take them to the european court case. it is now up to the government in warsaw to implement the court's ruling. let's get more on this from veronica prism much coach who's program director of the european academy berlin she's an expert on transformation processes in central and east european countries and welcome to d.w. . poland alone as a result until huge four judges it sounds innocuous enough why is it so controversial actually because of two reasons the first one is that with this reform. of the constitution of. the period of working off the president of the constitutional court which of the supreme court which was written in the
10:15 pm
constitution has been shortened which is actually quite clearly against the constitution that's the present number one and the second was that there was a possibility for the jazzers to stay longer in office until seventy but this was only possible after the positive decision of the president which means that the independence of judiciary has been let's say taken has been diluted and this was actually the reason why the what a european court of justice decided to immediately stop this reform and to say freeze everything down and say we cannot go like this because. independent judiciary is a basic of every european democracy so it cannot touch that this is an interim ruling as i understand there's. poland likely to accept it there's no appeal beyond easyjet is a no no this is only that said the interim decision until you know it's like in every cards you need to have some time to have to fool information or fool
10:16 pm
explanation off the decision so this just a disciplined nation will be done in the next few weeks. i do not think that there will be other decision and they say yes you are your rights poland cannot appeal from this so we can be sure that this decision will be made ballot what happens it poses no. do you think poland would do it i think there were there was more say well we are absolutely unhappy with this maybe you know put it down nowadays because now we have elections on the local level in the next two days and then another repetition in the next two weeks so they will maybe put down a little bit just talks for the moment for the time of political elections but later on there will somehow had to lead on and had to keep to the decision otherwise they have to pay a lot of money which. for a cause which i took us into will be ready to do this plays into
10:17 pm
a wider dispute between poland european union poland this is now being subject to article seven i think it is or proceedings in the within the e.u. how does one affect the other well this is this i think there is there is like a poet play between poland the polish right wing governments and of course the european union and also some other of the majority of the european states the question what is democracy what is rule of law what can i do within my country borders the world's rules do i have to stay. too and why not since we also have a discussion now adays in poland i fundamentally saying that stan might be so that's there is no supremacy of the national. under the european law but the otherwise which means the european would be. the ultimate. would would not be the ultimate or other to but i think these are all the
