Tens of thousands of Poles took to the streets of Warsaw and cities across Poland tonight to protest the recent decision of the Polish Constitutional Court at the initiative of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki that Poland does not have to comply with some EU legislation and that European law is not superior to Polish law, and "Legal legitimacy" means that the authorities are secretly preparing the right one.

"Let no one be surprised that I felt obliged at this critical moment to sound the alarm over the decision of the pseudo-court, the ruling party which decided to expel us from the European Union without circumventing or hiding anything," said the former Polish prime minister and later president of the European Council. , Donald Tusk, who organized the protest, in front of about 100.000 Warsaw residents gathered in a square near the Royal Palace.

In Warsaw and the cities of Gdansk from north to Krakow in the south, Poles took to the streets chanting the main slogan of the protest, "We are staying in the EU."

Tusk accused the ruling Justice and Justice Party and its leader, Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, of plotting to oust Poland from the EU on his orders, violating Poland's constitution.

"The chancellor of Austria, the head of the ruling party, the prime minister, has resigned because the police want to see if public money goes to the media to write well about the government. "Imagine in Law and justice should resign because they are spending public money, I guess only Kaczynski's cat would be spared," Tusk said.

The veteran of the Warsaw Uprising against the German Nazis of 1944, Wanda Traчиik-Stavska, was greeted with applause in the stands and she sharply silenced the shouts of the radical Polish nationalists who came to stop the protest.

"Shut up, stupid man. Because I am a soldier who remembers how blood was shed, how my comrades died. I am here to speak on their behalf. "I have the right to say, no one will ever take us out of our homeland and our homeland is Poland in Europe," Tracik-Stavska said.

Former Prime Minister Leszek Miller of the Alliance of the Democratic Left, which introduced Poland to the EU in 2004, called on protesters to thank the millions of Poles who said yes to the EU 18 years ago.

"Law and justice, this is not the future, this is naphthalene and incense," Miller said.

At a demonstration in Gdansk, Lech Waсасаsa, the former Polish president and leader of the Polish resistance against the former communist regime, warned that no enemy had ever succeeded in creating such divisions and abysses among Poles as the current government.

"When we fought, we had to create a new system. We won. We have divided the government into three pillars. Now we have to fight the people who are destroying that system. "We had various people in power, but they did not take away our morale and, above all, they did not divide us."

Poles who took to the streets today to protest the deepening conflict between Polish authorities and the EU and Kaczynski's stubborn insistence on judicial reform, although it threatens the independence of Polish judges and poses a systemic risk to the rule of law, bear no opposition party insignia. but mainly EU flags and the Polish national duel.

The government of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki categorically denies that its goal is legitimate and, like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, claims that the two countries will not be pushed out of the EU, but that the EU will change according to their visions and ideas.
