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.

Piss and Poo, at it again (sorry)
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.
It’s mostly for home-points. It’s not likely to get passed. Also questioning the idea that Poland is to be a leading country in EU any day soon. It will be hard for Tusk to pass anything but what he can agree with pis.
Lmao even Tusk who was widely praised as the EU Council President oppose those changes.
It is not that simple. EU started as an economical union. All members had to agree about changes, before those would take effect.
This would change EU to be more like a country and the individual countries would become states.
During PiS years the ruling party used the public TV to scare people that this is attempt to kill Poland’s sovereignty. If PO would back it up, it would likely end with riots from the right.
