WARSAW, Poland - Thousands of Poles rallied Saturday in Warsaw to show their support for the country’s right-wing government as it brings to completion an almost total overhaul of the justice system to put it under government control. Those who rallied in front of the constitutional Tribunal described the legislative changes as a matter of national sovereignty. They urged the government not to back down in its stand-off with the European Union, which has sharply criticized the judicial overhaul. That law comes after more than four years of changes to the judicial system by the ruling Law and Justice party. “We will continue to reform the judicial system because that is what the republic needs.“
