Shortly after the second round of presidential elections in Poland in mid-July leaders of EU countries will meetto decide to divide EUR 560 billion from The 750 billion Union coronavirus fund. It is to help EU countries recover from the economic crisis caused by the epidemic. According to current plans, Poland is to pay EUR 21 billion to the fund and receive EUR 37 billion from it.
“Guardian” claims that at least several EU countries protest, however, against too much, in their opinion, payment for Poland. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is to be among the most important critics.
“It is difficult to understand and accept, given that the situation in Poland has not come close to the level of human suffering we witnessed in Italy and Spain,” quotes a newspaper from a high-ranking EU diplomat. – Poland scoffs at our values and is awarded for it. That’s not acceptable. Southern Europe carries the burden of the COVID-19 crisis, migration crisis and climate crisis, but somehow ends up empty handed.
– A country that has trodden the rule of law, avoids responsibility for the climate, shows no solidarity in the issue of migration and mocks the fact that the EU is a community of values, suddenly sees a ship with money entering it – says interlocutor “Guardian”. – We are talking about a country whose president is seeking re-election promising to introduce gay free zones. It is not good that the EU does not find a way to deal with this situation.
