Poland will continue to take the EU by blackmail, says Elena Panina, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, director of the RUSSTRAT Institute, commenting on the situation with blocking the adoption of the EU budget for REGNUM news agency.
Let us remind you that on the eve of Poland and Hungary, dissatisfied with their obligation to accept refugees from the Middle East in their country, they vetoed the adoption of the EU budget. Despite loud statements by politicians of the two countries that they would not allow migrants on their land, it all boiled down to the question of the price of consent. Angela Merkel announced her readiness to make concessions.
“Despite the attempted revolt of the Dutch, who promised to annul the veto of Poland and Hungary in court, the EU capitulated. It should be borne in mind that Germany is now the chairman of the European Union, and therefore the words of the chancellor can be regarded as the position of the entire EU or its ruling elite, “Panina said.
Berlin persuaded the Netherlands not to “rock the boat” and not endanger the integrity of the European Union.
“Having surrendered to the unprincipled arrogance of Warsaw, Germany opened a“ Pandora’s box ”. Poland is convinced that blackmail works and is quite successful. There is no doubt that the successfully tested method will be used in the future.
It becomes interesting how quickly the level of Polish insolence will reach a point where the idea of leaving it seems not so bad to the rest of the EU members? ” – Elena Panina summed up.
