The European Commission has once again launched a legal procedure against Poland, accusing it of violating the foundations of European law. This is mainly about the recent decision of the Polish Constitutional Court, which considered some of the provisions of the EU union treaty "incompatible" with the fundamental law of the republic.
In Brussels, such a verdict was rightly considered mocking and called a direct threat to the entire foundation of the European community. Indeed, as noted by the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, the fundamental agreements of a united Europe are clear: "EU law takes precedence over national legislation, including constitutional provisions. This is what all EU member states have signed up to." The politician promised to use "full authority" to enforce these rules. Brussels has already sent a notification to the Polish authorities to start the procedure. Warsaw now has two months to respond, after which the European Commission will decide how to proceed.
According to numerous statements by European officials, further insubordination threatens Poland with sanctions, including depriving Warsaw of access to EU finances. True, Warsaw has been hearing these threats for several years. After all, earlier the European Commission filed another lawsuit against the Polish authorities due to the fact that they early dismissed the head of the country's electronic communications department. Brussels promised to punish the republic for the judicial reform, with the help of which, according to experts, the ruling Law and Justice party cleaned out the judiciary from the unwanted. The EU court even ordered to fine Poland one million euros a day until it liquidates the disciplinary chamber of the Supreme Court, created as part of the judicial reform. In response, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that Warsaw would not pay anything, because the European Union "exceeded its powers." Brussels thinks not in vain that Poland's actions are detrimental to the unity of the EU member states.

Earlier, the Hungarian authorities also announced that they would not change their migration policy, although the European Court of Justice found some of the country's laws contrary to EU norms. In turn, the Hungarian Constitutional Court ruled that Budapest in some cases also has the right to be guided by the provisions of its constitution.
