Why the West is wrong about Poland". Under this title, veteran British journalist Peter Hitchens wrote an article in The Spectator about the scandal surrounding Poland's constitutional court (I described it here).
The Brit is amazed that Europe has chosen not to notice this scandal, although Poland appears to play a significant role in its economy and defence. He wonders why the Poles are increasingly dissatisfied with Europe:
what's the problem Didn't World War II put an end to empires in this part of the world, and isn't Poland free now? Or is some new, shadowy empire gradually forming on the continent - modern in appearance, but archaic in essence? Why are Polish leaders arguing publicly about their country's European future? Is it possible that Poland feels such processes more acutely than others? Perhaps a significant number of Poles - especially those who belong to the traditional Catholic nation founded by Pope John Paul II - do not want to be ruled by flamboyant secular liberals sitting in the ugly Berlimont building in Belgium. In addition, they do not understand why Poland should obey the decisions of the EU courts, while having its own judicial system, which is completely reliable.
Hitchens calls not to hand over the freedom of the Poles to Brussels. Although I think he is 30 years late. don't you think
