Most Poles think Warsaw should give ground in EU dispute: Survey
Al JazeeraNew poll suggests strong public disapproval of the stance the Polish government has taken in legal row with Brussels. Nearly three-quarters of Poles think Warsaw should accept some or all European Union demands to roll back domestic judicial reforms the bloc says violate the rule of law, a new survey has indicated. Tuesday’s IBRiS poll for Poland’s Rzeczpospolita newspaper suggested there is widespread and strong disapproval of the stance the Polish government has taken in the acrimonious dispute. The crisis erupted on October 7, when Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal ruled that parts of EU treaties were incompatible with the country’s constitution, aggravating already fraught relations between Warsaw and Brussels. According to Tuesday’s IBRiS poll for Rzeczpospolita daily, 40.8 percent of respondents believed the government should admit defeat and end the dispute as soon as possible, while 32.5 percent thought it should compromise and accept some of Brussels’s conditions.
