After the Law and Justice (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, PiS) party won the Polish parliamentary election in 2015, it made its own appointments to the court, arguing that the previous appointments of the five judges by PO were unconstitutional. In December, PiS changed the court's decision-making power by prescribing a two-third majority vote and mandatory participation of at least 13 of the 15 judges on the Constitutional Tribunal. The appointments and amendments caused domestic protests and counter-protests in late December and early January. The law changes were criticized by some European Union representatives and certain German politicians, as threatening the rule of law and the human rights of Polish citizens. Other European politicians have supported the new Polish government."@en }
