Poland is receiving EU money because it opened its markets for European businesses. that was a deal. money for opening markets. no one told us back in 2003. that joining EU would mean losing our national constitution. they also want common immigration policy and army. no one have EVER voted in referendums about this.

much love to Poland from Latvija! soon we also are having elections. international nationalism will prevail.

"All wisdom begins with fear from God". That is something I heard recently. Without God there is no meaning. And godless wisdom is than meaningless. So, the rule of law without God is meaningless wisdom.
I find it true. All moral and meaningful law stems from it. But God is removed from EU. Fear from EU law, what is it? Non elected socialist birocrats have an Idea of ruling sovereign states in the name of some rule of law. What is that law? We have conflict of ideology here and lack of understanding Eastern European view of society and state.

They should, Poland is a Christian nation and has every right to follow biblical values ✝✝⛪⛪

Turkey, Hungary and Poland should together create an Eastern European Union (EEU).

Hate this guy, saying Poland is trying to "bake it's cake and eat it too" (first of all the stupidest saying I have ever heard, right in line with "less is more") Poland is literally supplying cheap labor for all of the EU. Now they're trying to say Poland can't make its own laws, while Germany's supreme court decided itself was allowed such a right. Poland has a stronger military then it does in the past so let's see Germany and it's EU friends try and force Poland now.

EU is a federation of independent countries not a federal republic. This was the deal. If you think that the Polish capital will be in Berlin not in Warsaw you will be defeated. 85% of Poles want to remain in the EU but not to live in a German colony.

[Ned-nwge]

Every country should leave the EU if they have any sense of self worth. All it wants is political power over its member states and all the people in those states. They want to be a federal union. It isn't all just economics.

[umermehmood]

Poland should throw EU union resign at his face like a king.

[Batmax]

the EU simply wants more & power power above nation states...

[youneskhouloud]

yes this already started EU started going bye bye

[Schweizerleague]

EU will never kick poland, what will they do? if this happend, poland open borders and let all migrants go to germany :D

[tomaswiak]

Why am i not surprised ? An "discussion" where all agree in the topic.... If you want to be taken as a serious journalist you need at least one opposing voice in order to have a serious discussion. EU sucks and has not brought anything positive to the European countries.

[bryenthebutler]

I think topic is also wrong. It is EU the one challenging Polish law or?

[xjvewtk]

They should. Just look how UK is good now :) yey POLEXIT !

[stevep]

The EU will throw Poland out to make an example of them. Even though the German Supreme Court has ruled the exact same way that German law supercedes EU law!

[obaidulhaque]

Injustice can’t be justified; so it have consequences

[mirandapillsbury]

The reporter keeps cutting them off in ridiculous ways. I understand he has a time limit but this is too much lol

[dudethadude]

Its not reasonable. I think a fair and not hypocritic eu is the best leader for the world but sadly i cant see a way to stop lobbying in eu governments which is the main cause of their corruption

[asimwaheed]

Poland should join with UK, Turkey and Pakistan.

[TheAmazingDolph]

EU should just clean house, if your going to govern like Russia, go join their union
