The Polish Deputy Prime Minister: Germany wants to transform the EU into the Fourth Reich
Speaking about Poland's current standoff with the EU over an ongoing judicial dispute, Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczynski told a local newspaper that some states " are not thrilled with the prospect of a German Fourth Reich being built on the base of the EU ", arguing that Berlin has abused the legal mechanisms of the blockade to deprive its country of its" right to self-determination ". He practically accused Berlin of Neocolonialism via the EU. Jarosław Kaczynski is also leader of the majority PiS party.
" If we, as Poles, accepted such modern servitude, we would be degraded in various ways, " he said, adding that if Poland followed the EU's approach to economic and energy policy, "it would mean that our citizens would be poorer. in a few years compared to the current situation ". After all, the Poles have an objective example in what has happened to Italy in the last 20 years, they can't be wrong.
Kaczynski's remarks came soon after the EU initiated legal action against the Polish government, accusing it of circumventing European laws and regulations. Two previous decisions by Polish courts have ruled that the country's laws take precedence over those of the EU, a position rejected by the bloc, which insists that member states are obliged to follow its rules. Subsequently, the Deputy Prime Minister somewhat lightened his comment on the Fourth Reich " This term is nothing reprehensible, " he said. " This is not (an extension) of the Third Reich, but a reference to the first ", where the first was the Holy Roman Empire. Not that this was much better, because we are talking about a confused, inefficient, bungled federation and perennially at war with its own inside.
However, Kaczynski argued that Berlin is now attempting to dominate the Court of Justice of the Union in order to bend other states to its will: " The court is the fundamental tool used in this action, " he said, adding that the body " does not it is limited by nothing ”and can therefore“ freely interpret European law and draw pirated conclusions ”. And so it does . "
Indeed, the Court of Justice of the EU has transformed itself from a pure judicial body into a federalist executive body that it would be necessary to rethink. It is no coincidence that the struggles related to Brexit take place precisely around this disputed body.
