> The authorities continued to erode the independence of the judiciary.
This is highly debatable, though I do not claim to know enough about this issue to be able to say a lot.
> Violations of LGBTI rights persisted.
I'm not sure what exactly they mean, but I suspect this may be about so-called "same-sex marriage". The definition of marriage as a union of one man and one woman is fortunately written into Polish constitution, which is quite difficult to change, so there's that. (Also, not calling a same-sex relationship a "marriage" does not really violate anyone's rights.)
> Access to abortion was further limited.
Which - given how abortion is basically killing innocent human beings - is a huge step towards freedom (more precisely, the right to live).
EDIT: also, I love how you mention Spain time and again. I can only assume you come from there, and if that's the case, I highly applaud your patriotism.
