Szydło: Polish matters should be solved in Poland

Prime Minister Beata Szydło said in an interview with public tv broadcaster that the European Parliament resolution that was passed on Wednesday is against the Polish state and destroys dialogue. "I cannot respect any of the Polish MEPs who are satisfied with the adoption of the resolution because I think that Polish matters should be solved in Poland," Szydło said. The Prime Minister stated that the resolution didn't mention that the government has begun a dialogue and is seeking a compromise. "The EP didn't say that the foundations of the crisis were laid in 2015, when the PO-PSL coalition was in power." "Since the EP didn't take into consideration the fact that the Venice Commission recommendations are being considered, it is not merit-based, but politically-driven," Szydło said. On Wednesday, The European Parliament passed a non-binding resolution which calls on the Polish authorities to fully implement the Venice Commission recommendations on the ability of Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal to uphold the constitution and guarantee respect for the rule of law.
