According to Mateusz Morawiecki, the European Union risks being devastated if it continues to blackmail Poland over fears of Polexit. The comments arise amid one of the most tense weeks on record between the EU and Warsaw as a row about supremacy of European law intensifies. On October 8 The EU Constitutional Court ruled that its rules superseded EU law - a finding Brussels insists violates the bloc's founding treaties.
In a letter written to the EU leaders, Mr Morawiecki accused the bloc of starving his country with threats to withhold 48 billion of Covid recovery funds if they failed to bend to the EU's will.
Is there any need to worry about the gradual transformation of the union into an entity that would cease to be an alliance of democratic states, but instead become a single, centralised organisation, directed by institutions deprived of free control by the citizens
The language of unsubordinated blackmail, punishment,'starving' of financial states, undeveloped and centralist pressures do not have a place in European politics. This language strikes not only at individual states, but also throughout the entire community.
Unfortunately, today we are dealing with a very dangerous phenomenon whereby various European Union institutions usurp powers which they do not have under the treaties and impose their will on member states.
