Legally, can Poland be evicted from the EU?

Well, yes and no. I haven't read the exact text of this law, but from what I understand it should have no effect on the accession treaties Poland signed. I.e.: The Spaniard is just issueing hollow threats.

However, should a country conciously commit breach of contract (e.g. should Poland introduce the death penalty, the death penalty being an area that is covered by EU treaties other than the intricacies of each countries education system), it could lose it's voting rights in the EU institutions (while still being bound to the outcomes of such votes), which in effect is a way of showing a country the door.

As far as I know there is no "eviction" mechanism, the final decision would thus lie with the respective country.

But why would Poland leave the EU when it profits so much from access to the common EU market and increased energy security?
