TY - JOUR A1 - Bogdandy, Armin von A1 - Spieker, Luke Dimitrios T1 - Countering the judicial silencing of critics: Novel ways to enforce European values T2 - Verfassungsblog N2 - The Polish government is stepping up its repression. The freedom of political speech is a main target. A national judge has not just the right but an outright duty to refer a case to the CJEU whenever the common value basis is in danger. Thus, a Polish judge faced with a case concerning the silencing of critics, must refer the matter to the CJEU and request an interpretation of Article 2 TEU in light of the rights at stake.
