Jean Asselborn fires warning to Poland

Jean Asselborn Luxembourg’s Foreign Minister has fired a warning to Poland’s ruling conservative Law and Justice party against going down the path of dictatorship.

His country holds the rotating EU presidency. He said the EU may need to act.

Prime Minister Beata Szydlo and her cabinet took office after the Law and Justice party – the PiS – secured an outright majority in both chambers in November’s elections. The lower chamber passed a contentious constitutional court law amendment on Tuesday.

Lawmakers say the move was needed because a previous amendment – passed by the former parliament – partially violates the constitution. The party has dismissed criticism it undermines Poland’s democracy.

Among those who have been critical of the new government is Lech Walesa the leader of the Solidarity trade union which ended communism in Poland.

He told one media outlet that he believed the government acts against freedom and democracy and that it ridicules the country in the world.

What, you mean like the dictatorship from the UNELECTED CORRUPT (no audited books, ever) EU administration?

<deleted> are Luxembourg to tell anyone what they can and cannot do in their own country?

These petty European federalists and bureaucrats want a EU dictatorship. One which cannot be removed or amended by elections or the electorate.

They will destroy the EU as those who tried to impose similar dictatorships in the old Eastern bloc did with their socialist utopia states.

Interesting that the left, the parties that supposed to represent the people, the poor, the workers, the masses are the ones who want to dictate and eradicate freedom and democracy.

UK, Denmark, now maybe Poland, and the Baltic States - all are getting fed up with the way certain countries are trying to act like it's already the Bundesrepublic des European Staats.

Can only agree with you. Who the hell do they think they are these EU clowns to say "they may need to act!" Maybe others should better act by looking into all the EU accounts of the long list of "commissioners" in Luxembourg's banks..... That wouldn't be a waste of time and EU taxpayers money!
