Poland won't get its money back after a previous, conservative government was hit by a record-breaking fine by the European Union for ignoring a court order to undo changes to its judicial system, an EU high court said Wednesday.
According to the ruling, the EU's executive Commission was within its rights to withhold 320 million euros ($332 million) from payments to Poland, after Warsaw refused to dismantle a judicial disciplinary chamber used to target judges who spoke out against the ruling Law and Justice party.
