The prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, criticizes him for being “faced with a formal democracy and a de facto oligarchy in which the strongest, such as Germany and France, are in power”
Poland again defies the European Union. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki criticized the “imperialism” of the community countries and called for “deep” reforms to combat it, especially regarding the treatment the EU gives to some of its member states, especially the very youngest. “The EU order does not protect us enough from external imperialism. On the contrary. Its institutions and activities, which in themselves are not free from the temptation to dominate the weakest, are prone to infiltration by Russian imperialism,” he stated emphatically.
The prime minister emphasized in the German newspaper ‘Die Welt’ that ‘the war in Ukraine has also revealed the truth about Europe. We are faced with a formal democracy and a de facto oligarchy in which the strongest hold the power. In this sense, he criticized that Germany and France have more power than the rest of the EU countries. “In addition, the strong make mistakes and are unable to accept criticism from outside,” stressed Morawiecki, who demanded a “deep reform that puts the common good and equality first in the union’s principles” because “it and not the EU institutions that have to decide which direction and priorities they should take.’ For this reason, he accused Brussels of practicing a kind of “imperialism”, which, like the Russian, must be “fought”.
“Europe must put imperialist Russia in its place,” said Morawiecki, for whom the war in Ukraine has exposed those who refused to recognize “the imperialist leanings” of Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Now they have to face the demons of the 19th and 20th centuries: nationalism, colonialism and totalitarianism,” the prime minister said.
It is not the first time that Poland has challenged the EU. Morawiecki’s government, of the ultra-conservative Law and Justice (PiS), has repeatedly confronted Brussels with various issues, including the latest judicial reform and the media law, which, according to the European Commission, would endanger the rule of law in Poland. Similarly, his party’s leader, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, previously warned in a Polish media outlet that if they won this year’s parliamentary elections, Warsaw’s relationship with the EU would have to be restructured.
On the other hand, and like another poisonous arrow towards Brussels, the former European Council president and now leader of the opposition in Poland, Donald Tusk, warned that the PiS leader, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, is seeking his country out of the EU. to get . “PiS’s words about guns and bombing of Brussels sound grotesque, but trust me, there’s nothing to laugh about here,” he bellowed.
