“It's interesting to see that Poland, which has been one of the strongest opponents of the EU's common asylum system, is now asking the EU to help fund a border wall. We are talking about a few thousand migrants. A wall is not the solution. It's time for EU nations to speak with a unified voice when it comes to migration. Nationalistic dialogues are pushing the Union to the brink.”

“We have been concerned about the independence of the judiciary for some time. Judges have seen their immunity being lifted, and have been driven out of office without justification. And this threatens judicial independence, which is a basic pillar of the rule of law. We have taken a number of measures. We continue to have a regular dialogue. But unfortunately, the situation has worsened. And this is not only the commission's opinion. This is what has been confirmed by the European court of justice and the European court of human rights. And now this has culminated in the most recent ruling of the Polish constitutional court.”

“Were we to agree to the central principle it would mean that the EU ceases to be an association of sovereign states and by fait accompli, the EU is transferred into a centrally governed European state where European institutions can force the so-called provinces to do as the central power wants. This is not what we agreed in the treaties. What is needed is a sovereign decision about sovereign decisions by sovereign member states. So now what we can do is we can agree to all attempts to limit the sovereignty of Poland and we can agree to the creeping expansion of the competences of the European court of law - what we are seeing now is a creeping revolution taking place by way of verdicts of the European court of justice - or we can say no. If you want a supranational state in Europe, why don't you ask and get consent from all the sovereign member states.”

“The primacy of constitutional law over other sources of law results directly from the constitution of the Republic of Poland. Today (once again) this has been clearly confirmed by the constitutional tribunal. The ruling does not affect any areas where the EU has competences delegated in the treaties.”

“EU states must not stand by idly when the rule of law continues to be dismantled by the Polish government. Neither can the European Commission. Our money can't finance governments which mock and negate our jointly agreed rules. By declaring that the EU treaties are not compatible with Polish law, the illegitimate constitutional tribunal in Poland has put the country on the path to Polexit.”

“An open and frank discussion with Polish Minister of the Interior Mariusz Kamiński on the situation at the Polish - Belarus border. The desperation of the Lukashenko regime is clear. As is their lack of respect for vulnerable people. The aggression from the Lukashenko regime deserves a firm and united response from EU. Poland, as a strong EU Member State, can show that the capacity to protect the border can be matched with the ability to respect EU fundamental rights and obligations.”

“Due to its position, Poland cannot be neutral. Either it is in the family of Western civilization or among the authoritarian dictatorships of the East. If you cause Poland to lose gigantic money for further development and reconstruction, if you also lead us out of our European home, history and the people will not forgive you.”
