EU CIVIL WAR: Poland FURIOUS at “dangerous” Brussels control
Although Polish PM Mateusz Morawiecki assured the EU that his country is a loyal member of the bloc in a letter on Monday, he warned of the “dangerous phenomenon” of evolving into a body where states are “deprived of democratic control”.
While Morawiecki criticized the “language of financial blackmail” ahead of his address to MEPs Tuesday morning, his Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro urged Poland to take legal action against Germany for political interference of their judicial appointments.
Ziobro argued it was double standards that while in his country top court judges are elected by peers, in Germany they are chosen by politicians – and yet the EU is threatening funding withdrawal to Warsaw if apparent political influence is not eradicated.
