Abstract

La Unión Europea es una Comunidad de Derecho. El Estado de Derecho es un valor europeo consagrado en el artículo 2 del Tratado de la Unión Europea. Su efectividad requiere de la existencia de un Poder Judicial independiente en la propia Unión y en todos y cada uno de los Estados miembros. Hoy en día está amenazado por un enemigo interior: el populismo iliberal que impugna las instituciones contramayoritarias del control de poder. En la primera parte de este trabajo pondré de manifiesto la incompatibilidad del populismo iliberal con la cultura política democrática que da sentido a las instituciones contramayoritarias. Incompatibilidad que le conduce directamente a impugnar un principio básico inherente a aquella como es el respeto a la independencia judicial. En la segunda, analizaré la respuesta que ha dado la Unión Europea, y concretamente, el Tribunal de Justicia a los ataques a la independencia judicial por parte del Estado polaco.

Alternate abstract:

The European Union is a Community of Law. The Rule of Law is a European value enshrined in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union. Its effectiveness requires the existence of an independent Judicial Power in the Union itself and in each and every one of the Member States. Today it is threatened by an internal enemy: illiberal populism that challenges the countermajoritarian institutions of control of power. In the first part of this paper I will show the incompatibility of illiberal populism with the democratic political culture that gives meaning to counter-majoritarian institutions. Incompatibility that directly leads him to challenge a basic principle inherent to that, such as respect for judicial independence. In the second, I will analyze the response given by the European Union, and specifically, the Court of Justice, to the attacks on judicial independence by the Polish State.
