European Union Poland: disenchantment?

Why rejection From a part of the Eastern Europeans towards Brussels? Poland has elected an Eurosceptic president in early June, which risks reducing the room for maneuver of its Prime Minister, the European Fervent Donald Tusk, at a time when it should not be.

If Karol Nawrocki Having narrowly won against the Democratic candidate, his election worries Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer (head of the British government) or Friedrich Merz (German Chancellor) who had found in Tusk a dynamic ally promoting a Europe of strong defense in the face of the Russian danger.

Poland by John Paul II and from Solidarnosc, a country of high culture darling of many French people, has become, twenty -one years after its membership, the pillar of the European Union’s flank. Nation all the more important since the war in Ukraine is at its doors. However, Poland finds itself divided at 50/50: on the one hand, the liberal proeuropéens, on the other, the Antieuropée, Conservative and Populist nationalists.

“Congratulations, you have chosen a winner”,, reacted Trump, who had sent his interior security secretary, Kristi Noem, pushing the Tusk camp.

Europhobia in Poland is a reflection of a distrust observed everywhere. The Hungary of Viktor Orban, openly prorussian, puts sticks in the wheels of the European machine. It is also Slovakia, and recently Romania where a proeuropian president barely won … and, among the EU candidates, Serbia in particular. Even in Germany and with us, the company is polarized between supporters of the Union and its liberal doxa and opponents favorable to a Europe of nations restricting immigration.

That the successes of the beautiful project European peace are forgotten is distressing. And making Brussels a scapegoat is easy. A certain arrogance of the founding countries donor has been felt. And also a conflict of values. Genre ideology and other developments bristle many Poles, Hungarian and others. All of this is delighted Trump and Russian influencers exploit him to weaken European support for Ukraine.
