Polish President Andrzej Duda said on Monday he will veto two of three bills to reform the country's judiciary system, easing concerns that the ruling Law and Justice party will undermine the division of powers.
"I have decided that I will send back to Sejm (lower house of parliament), which means I will veto the bill in the Supreme Court, as well as the one about the National Council of the Judiciary," Duda said.
The bill has sparked a wave of protests in the country in recent days.
The Polish zloty immediately rose against the euro as investors saw the decision as lowering political risk in Poland.
