The President of Poland accused the EU authorities of ideological pressure and forcing the nation to accept alien principles
Polish President Andrzej Duda allowed himself to openly criticize Brussels. It should be noted that this actually became a continuation of the recent disagreements between the Polish authorities and EU officials. The Polish leadership expresses dissatisfaction with the fact that political and economic directives are coming from Brussels to be implemented. At the same time, Warsaw for some reason does not refuse European concessional loans.
According to Andrzej Duda, the concept of interaction has changed in the European Union.
President of Poland:
If initially the concept of building a single economic community, a community of friendship and harmony was lined up in the EU, then recently all this has been altered. Among other things, the EU is now implementing the concept of ideological pressure and coercion of nations to accept principles alien to them.
Thus, Andrzej Duda directly accused Brussels of following the path of imposing its values and principles on Poland. And what is interesting: when Warsaw receives money from the European treasury, then these principles are more than suitable for it, and when Brussels demands that Warsaw comply with European dogmas (and Poland signed and ratified all conventions in the EU format), then it suddenly became the President of Poland designated as pressure and coercion.
It is worth recalling that the EU has recently formed a number of claims against Poland. For example, Brussels is not satisfied with the format of judicial reform in Poland, the lack of reverence for LGBT people, as well as the strengthening of state control over the media. In addition, Brussels' irritation manifests itself due to the reluctance of the Polish authorities to accept the number of refugees, which is determined by the EU quotas.
