Abstract

This article was based on the historical course of the Polish crisis that lasted more than 7 years, culminating with the ruling of October 7, 2021 by the Polish Constitutional Court. This, in turn, paved the way for Poland’s exit from the Union as well as the discussion of several open legal issues – from the rule of law and the Union’s values to the first considerations for the future of European integration.
