Poland is currently challenging the EU’s supremacy, something they don’t like all that much, so some are beginning to question if the country is on the path to being ejected. In this video we explain Poland’s challenge, what it means for Europe and if it could result in Poland’s removal from the union.

Poland IS Europe over 1000 years now, EU is only about 30 years old! So telling me that Poland to be kicked out of EU is offending me, it is actually a threat for whole Europe! Let's maybe ask other way round: maybe we should kicked the EU out of Europe then?

Problem is, most people dont see what Germany tries to do. They want to make second America in Europe and control whole continent. They know that in 20-30 years Germany will mean nothing and only America, China, India, Russia and Brazil will mean something. Thats why they need to control continent, to get a char at world leaders summits. They cant stand how Poland sees it and they oppose them so they cant do what they want as these things only benefit Germany.

One currency,
One army,
One country,
One party,
One leader.

British knew it wad coming and thats why they left it. Obviously, not people but government as people voted to stay because of socials.

Germany is a whore of Russia and must be stopped before it gets too overpowered, like in WW1 and WW2.

Poland is right, and i'm not saying it because i'm polish. The EU is a great thing and has been a great thing but we must not forget the purpose of it. It's a Union of countries, it should in ANY case go against a country laws and constitution.

Germany and France have proven themselves unfit to predict the European Union.
Corruption and the absence of any moral principles always lead to a downfall.
Thank God Europe still has a nation Polish.
A nation that is always guided by true values.
A nation that is always an indication of truth.
Today we can clearly see what distinguishes good from evil

My country, my (bloody) rules, buddy; damn right Poland. The video says the EU has no military power to enforce its rules but it will soon have military power! I'm on Poland's side. Stick close to us (Britain), Poland. Stick close to Hungary and Italy too. The EU started out as the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951; now look at the monster it has morphed into. This huge growth has been done without real Democracy (direct Democracy). No wonder God doesn't like the EU.

They wont have to be kicked out as the EUssr is currently falling part at the seams, if the realists get power within the EUssr then a non political organization like the defunct EFTA could be in its place.
The Euro could be kept as a trading currency only, some the current EUssr laws are not fit for perpuse
and should be scrapped, as they reverse current state legislation

I really understand the concerns about the democracy and rule of law in Poland, in the other hand EU it’s not a country, the commission it’s not elected, the law make process it’s very different of all democratic countries. Even in America a Federal law have to be voted in states in some cases, and USA is a country! The European Parliament should make only laws about economics matters. not about

Used to be a history, political science teacher in high school, poland. Anyone who cares a bit about this country would fully support EU in this matter. Polish conservative government wiped his ass with polish constitution, starting in 2016, they still keep doing it. Poland should receive fuck all from EU, until they restore the independent justice system

The EU will not kick out Poland. 1) they need Poland's cooperation to oppose Russia. 2) Hungary would veto anything that you does against Poland, and vice versa.

The answer is short and simple: No. There is negotiation to take place if there is some disagreement between 2 sides. It’s ok to challenge laws but it’s not ok to break laws. This is why Poland doesn’t break anything recently. The compromise was accomplished. It’s called democracy.

There is no such thing like EU is only Germany State. They want to change our government that's why they fighting with us. That's why they sent Donald Tusk to Poland who could win elections in 2023 with big help from them. They want to kill our economy to implement the Fit for 55 rules. That's why they dealing with Russia and want Nord Stream 2 to operate and later sell gas all over the Europe. There is case of Turów, there is case of holding 57 billion euro for Poland from Recovery plan for Europe, and it will keep going like this till we not change our government. We do not want to fight with Germany but they want to fight with us.
