Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “Polish PM lashes out at EU’s Ursula von der Leyen” – below is their description.
Mateusz Morawiecki clashed with von der Leyen in a fiery debate at the parliament in Strasbourg, telling her that Poland would not bow to ‘European centralism’ and that the constitution of a country was the highest law on the Continent. The PM’s robust speech prompted a cacophony of outrage to break out across the benches, while Polish ministers stood up to applaud after he finished. Von der Leyen said she was ‘deeply concerned’, adding that ‘we cannot and will not allow our common values to be put at risk.’ Referring to the fall of Communism in Poland in 1989, she said: ‘The people of Poland wanted democracy … they wanted the freedom to choose their government, they wanted free speech and free media, they wanted an end to corruption and they wanted independent courts to protect their rights.’ ‘This is what Europe is about and that is what Europe stands for,’ she added. ‘The recent ruling of the Polish Constitutional Court puts much of it into question.’
