"No money for Poland until the dispute over the rule of law is resolved ”. Thus began the Dutch premier Mark Rutte announcing to its Parliament that, on the occasion of the EU Council, it will formally ask the Commission to freeze the Pnrr until the legal dispute between Brussels e Warsaw.
A declaration that weighs one week from the EU Council when the Polish premier Mateusz Morawiecki he will speak in the Chamber in the presence of the Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen. The EU on the case, meanwhile, is still making its assessments on the ruling with which the Polish Constitutional Court disputed the primacy of European law.
"We want our analysis to be indisputable"Commission spokesman Eric Mamer explained. The deadline is set for next December 2, when the advocate general of the EU Court of Justice will express his opinion on the appeal made by theHungary and by the same Poland on the conditionality of the Rule of law regarding the disbursement of funds from the NRP.
But time is running out and the European camps are in fibrillation, also because, following a proposal from the Commission, the national NRPs must still be approved by a qualified majority of Member States.
"An infringement procedure" with regard to Poland it is "probable", the EU vice president anticipated Vera Jourova to the Foreign and EU Political Committees of the Chamber and Senate. Immediately after, Jourova saw the Undersecretary for European Affairs Enzo Amendola what he said: "Italy supports the European Commission while respecting the primacy of the rule of law in the Union". In the evening, the premier Morawiecki tried to soften the tone: "We are a sovereign state but we are fully in the EU, Polexit is a lie ”.
In the meantime, the rift between the pro-Europeans and the front of the Eurosceptic countries is widening. The Slovenian premier is targeted Janez Jansa who with a tweet relaunches an old infographic depicting 13 MEPs or former MEPs "puppets of George Soros" in Strasbourg.
Jansa has become famous for his often reckless tweets, only this time he is also the current president of the EU. President David Sassoli he beat Jansa asking to “Stop the provocations and respect the MEPs”.
