Poland’s main two parties, the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) and centrist Civic Platform (PO), have declared that they will oppose proposed changes to the EU treaties when they come before the European Parliament (EP) this week.
PO’s leader, former European Council president Donald Tusk, today warned that the ideas epitomise the kind of “naive euro-enthusiasm” that pushed the UK to leave the EU.
Long overdue. As more nations backslide the collective power of the EU will diminish since everyone will be more and more incentived to extort or block new laws than to cooperate and act as partners. Hungary has made this plainly obvious in the case of EU. Turkey in the case of NATO. Russia in the case of UN. Time to wake up. If you don't like it you can leave.
