"Our Treaties are very clear. All judgments of the EU Court of Justice are binding and EU law takes precedence over national law. We will use all the powers we have under the Treaties to ensure this."
Thus the President of the European Commission,
Ursula von der Leyen
, on the ruling of the Polish Constitutional Court.
"I am deeply concerned", said von der Leyen, explaining that he had "instructed the Commission services to make a thorough and quick analysis" of the decision to decide on the next steps.
Yesterday the
Polish Constitutional Court
, led by judge Julia Przylebska, ruled that some EU rules are incompatible with the Polish Constitutional Charter.
"The values of peace and freedom distinguish our continent. I know that at this moment some countries make us suffer and we hope that they will review their positions but we cannot allow any of the 27 member countries to violate the treaties. We will be totally inflexible" .
This was stated by the president of the EU Parliament,
David Sassoli
, speaking on video link at the European Youth Event (Eye2021).
Today, Polish Prime Minister
Mateusz Morawiecki
assures that Poland wants to remain in the European Union.
The statement comes one day after the ruling of the Polish Constitutional Court on the supremacy of domestic law over EU law.
"Poland's place is and will be in the family of European nations," the premier said on Facebook, adding that joining the bloc was "one of the highlights of recent decades" for Poland and the EU.
