<span style="color: #222222;">In Poland, the Supreme Court has attacked the government's latest proposal to overhaul the judicial system.<br />''<br />''The Court warned that the plan could lead to Poland leaving the European Union. The proposals would allow judges to be dismissed if they questioned the government's judicial reforms.<br />''<br />''Judges said, the proposals threaten the primacy of European Union law and could be an attempt to gag the judiciary. Under the proposals put forward by the socially conservative Law and Justice party government, judges can be punished for engaging in political activity.<br />''<br />''Poland has already been referred to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) regarding rules for judges.<br />''<br />''The warning from the Apex Court is the latest salvo in a bitter battle over the rule of law in Poland that dominated the ruling Law and Justice party's first term in office. Politicians will start discussing the proposals tomorrow.</span><br />
