I don't think it's fare to compare Poland to Turkey. No one is jailing judges.

It extremely hard to do a major judicial reform which is needed. The ruling party argument is that that the system of election the supreme court is flawed. There is a risk of deep state influence from the previous system and ties to Russia.

When Germany was reunified they a purge of people with ties to DDR. Nothing like that happened in Poland.

Weren’t they messing with Supreme Court in Poland?

The ruling party has ex-communists in their ranks and somehow that's ok with them. The whole argument about cleansing the judicial ranks is bogus and a vulgar excuse for a power grab.
