Polish Prime Minister During the speech in the European Parliament Mateusz Morawiecki said about EU blackmail over the conflict over the Polish judicial reform, says Die Welt. “I reject the language of threats and blackmail,” Moravetsky said, adding that the practice had become a method of constant communication with some EU members.
Many deputies negatively assessed this Moravetsky speech. So the leader of the European People's Party, Manfred Weber, said directly that such a speech would please Russian President Vladimir Putin. “With your speech today, you are spreading confusion and strife in the European Union.” With such a political step, you are weakening Europe, “the politician remarked.
Weber also noted that those who reject the precedence of European legislation are located outside the European Community.
Earlier, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen criticized Poland's behavior in the European Union and threatened that Warsaw could be deprived of its right to vote in EU decisions.
