European Council President Donald Tusk called on Poland's political leaders to respect the constitution in a speech in Warsaw yesterday, amid speculation he may return to domestic politics when his EU (European Union) term ends in November, the Euro News website reports today (May 4, 2019).
The former Polish prime minister and leader of the opposition Civic Platform party accused political leaders of celebrating the constitution once a year and disrespecting it on every other day, during a speech at Warsaw University to mark the annual constitution day.
"It can't be that those in power once a year celebrate constitution day, but disrespect it on a daily basis," he said.
The European Union has begun a legal procedure against Poland over changes to its judicial system by the governing nationalist party that EU officials say undermines the democratic separation of powers and the rule of law.
