The head of Poland's ruling party Jaroslaw Kaczynski said on Friday that Germany was trying to turn the European Union into a federal 'German Fourth Reich'.
Speaking to the far-right Polish daily GPC, the head of the Law and Justice (known by its Polish acronym PiS) party said some countries 'are not enthusiastic at the prospect of a German Fourth Reich being built on the basis of the EU. If we Poles agreed with this kind of modern-day submission we would be degraded in different ways,' said Kaczynski, 72, who is also one of four Polish deputy prime ministers. He added that the EU's Court of Justice was being used as an 'instrument' for federalist ideas.
Poland has been involved in a lengthy stand-off with the European Union, particularly over the judicial reforms that PiS has pushed through since 2015. In the latest twist, Poland accused the EU of 'attacking our sovereignty' and vowed to fight its 'bureaucracy' after Brussels launched legal action against the country for over-ruling European Union laws.
In remarks broadcast on national television, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, 53, said the EU's decision reflected a trend towards 'bureaucratic centralism' in Brussels that 'has to be stopped'.

I totally disagree with some of the laws that the current Polish government has passed but he is spot on about the EU.
