Three former living Polish presidents, Lech Wałęsa, Aleksander Kwaśniewski and Bronisław Komorowski issued a letter to the Polish government regarding the upcoming EU summit in Rome, where EU's future after Brexit will be discussed. The presidents voiced their concerns about the current's government recent diplomatic efforts in the EU, which they're afraid, will end up in Poland being marginalized. “Despite its successes, on the eve of the 60th anniversary of signing the Treaty of Rome, the EU faces many political, economical and social challenges. At the upcoming European Council summit in Rome, the important phase of changes within the bloc will begin. There has to be a constructive, heard by others, Polish voice. That's why we're deeply concerned about the confrontational and eurosceptical foreign policy adopted by the Polish government. Which in consequence can end in international marginalization and self-exclusion from the countries which will decide upon the Europe's integration future. We represent different generations, political identities, personal experiences. We've often been involved in harsh political conflict with each others. After 25 years of combined and bipartisan efforts for Poland's pro-European approach we strongly say, that Poland is not a voice of one party or the other,” the letter said. The letter explains that Poles overwhelmingly support the EU and Polish government should respect it with a “responsible European politics.”
