Kaczyński: PO has key to solve the crisis

The leader of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, Jarosław Kaczyński told public radio broadcaster that the main opposition party, the Civic Platform (PO) has a key to solve the constitutional crisis, into which Poland has plunged in the recent weeks. Kaczyński added however that he doesn't see any indication that PO has a will to observe the constitution. The PiS leader blamed the head of Poland's top constitutional court, Andrzej Rzepliński, for paralyzing the Constitutional Tribunal.  "It was his decision, apparently backed by the opposition, we have nothing to do with that," Kaczyński said. He also said that there is no reason to be afraid of the European Union. "The EU has no legal basis to interfere with Polish domestic affairs. There is not threat to human rights, nor democratic institutions." Kaczyński asserted that Poland has its allies who would oppose "any drastic decisions against us." The PiS leader stated that the previous ruling coalition PO-PSL positioned itself in the EU as a "scared claimant". He asserted that PiS would strive to secure Polish interests in the EU. "We are certain about our rights stemming from positive laws and moral value and we will protect them."
