Synopsis

The European Commission’s chief executive warned Poland that its challenge to the supremacy of European Union law called into question the very foundations of the 27-nation bloc and could not go unpunished.Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal ruled last week that parts of EU law are incompatible with the Polish constitution, undermining the legal pillar on which the union stands and raising fears that Poland could eventually leave the bloc.Poland’s ruling nationalist Law and Justice party says it has no plans for a Polexit and - unlike Britain before its Brexit referendum in 2016 - popular support for membership of the EU remains high in Poland.
