Looking at the world · EU Poland relations | will Poland become the next "brexit" country?

2021-10-21

Polish Prime Minister mateush morawitsky was shelled at the European Parliament meeting on the 19th because the Polish constitutional court ruled that Polish domestic laws took precedence over European Union laws. During the heated debate between the two sides, European Commission President Ursula von der lain angrily accused Poland of "challenging the unification of European legal order" and listed a number of counter-measures, while morawitsky directly pointed to the other party's "threat of blackmail" and complained about the EU's secretly expanding its authority. According to media comments, the EU and Poland have been deadlocked for a long time due to judicial reform and other issues, and now it has evolved into a "comprehensive crisis". On June 30, 2019, at the EU headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, Polish Prime Minister morawitsky prepared to attend the EU summit. In July this year, the European Court of justice asked Poland to suspend a disciplinary review body for judges established last year on the grounds that Poland's judicial reform violated the principle of "rule of law". The Polish government refused to implement and took the issue to its constitutional court. The Polish constitutional court ruled on the 7th of this month that the European Court of justice interfered with Polish judicial reform and violated the Polish constitution. Polish domestic laws have priority over EU laws. At the European Parliament meeting held in Strasbourg, France on the 19th, von delaine said that the ruling of the Polish constitutional court "challenges the foundation of the EU and is a direct challenge to the unification of the European legal order". The European Commission is "carefully evaluating" this ruling and will take action to prevent Poland from undermining EU values. In his speech, morawitsky accused the EU of over expanding its authority. "The EU's authority has clear borders. We cannot remain silent when the borders are broken through," he said On August 24, European Commission President von delaine spoke at a press conference in Brussels, Belgium. According to Reuters, after moravitsky spoke, members of the European parliament took turns to attack him. The two sides argued fiercely for more than four hours. Von delaine showed anger and listed three possible countermeasures that the EU might take, including taking legal action on the ruling of the Polish constitutional court, withholding tens of billions of euros of grants and low interest loans to Poland, and suspending some of Poland's rights as an EU member state. Morawitsky attacked the other party for "threatening" Poland. He said that the proposal on economic punishment was "unacceptable" and that "extortion cannot be a method of policy implementation". Didier rendale, member of the European Commission in charge of legal affairs, said after another ministerial meeting of EU member states that the European Commission would launch a "written procedure" against Poland in the next few weeks, and he also planned to go to Warsaw, the capital of Poland for talks. On August 1, people took part in activities to commemorate the 77th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising in Warsaw, Poland. EU leaders are scheduled to hold a summit in Brussels, Belgium on the 21st and are expected to discuss this issue. Although most EU Member States, except Hungary, criticized Poland's move, some countries objected to the counter-measures proposed by the EU. The escalation of contradictions between Poland and the EU has raised concerns that Poland may become another "brexit" country. However, Poland's ruling law and Justice Party said that Poland had no intention of "leaving Europe". "We should not spread rumors of Poland's' brexit 'at the European Parliament meeting on the 19th," morawitsky said Unlike the situation before the "brexit" referendum in 2016, the support rate of Polish people for Poland to stay in the EU is still high. On the 10th of this month, anti brexit demonstrations were held in many Polish cities, including Warsaw. At one of the rallies, Donald Tusk, a former Polish Prime Minister and President of the European Council, called on people to "safeguard Poland as an EU member state". (outlook new era)
