Schulz: events in Poland have traits of a coup

"What is taking place in Poland has traits of a coup and is dramatic," said Martin Schulz, the head of the EU parliament on Deutschlandfunk radio station, adding that the parliament will certainly discuss the current situation in Poland. PM Beata Szydło said she hopes Schulz will apologize Poland. "I assume that this week, and no later than in January, this matter will be on the European Parliament agenda to discuss extensively - said the German politician. In an interview with Deutschlandfunk Schulz, he warned against the EU taking hasty steps against countries that are governed by " right-wing populists." Schulz said that when right-wing populists feel that external forces or other countries are trying to interfere in the internal politics of their country in order to correct it,  their popularity grows most significantly. "I advise being careful of taking action. Discussion is another issue," he  added. "It is wrong that a head of the European Parliament speaks this way about one of the member states," PM Szydło said, adding that she believes that Schulz will stop giving such statements and apologize to Poland.
