‘Poland should veto the EU budget’: Zbigniew Ziobro
21:18
"Solidarity Poland strongly opposes the proposal formulated by the German presidency to link payments from the European Union budget to the so-called rule of law, because it is not about the rule of law, but about colonization," the members of the National Board of Solidarity Poland (right-wing party lead by Zbigniew Ziobro) wrote in a statement.
One of the arguments cited in the letter is that "the German proposal is in practice nothing more than an attempt to radically limit the sovereignty of Poland and Hungary, as well as other countries that would dare to demonstrate independence from the main decision-making center of the Union in the future."
“We argued for the use of the veto at the July European Council in Brussels. In the current state of negotiations, in view of the radicalization of the proposals of the European Commission and the German presidency, the leaders of Law and Justice announced that they would veto the budget, which would operate under the new rules. This position is supported by Solidarna Polska,” the statement reads.
