Polish President to Veto Judicial Reforms After Massive Protests
----------------------------------------------------------------

In Poland, President Andrzej Duda says he'll veto controversial judicial
reforms, after days of massive protests against the proposals, which
opponents said would have ended the separation of powers between the
executive and the judiciary. The proposed measures would have allowed
Parliament to appoint Supreme Court judges. The European Union had
threatened to bring sanctions over the measures.
