The unprecedented challenge made by Poland's prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, to one of the European Union's core legal principles has seriously escalated his government's dispute with Brussels. And it has fuelled concerns that Poland is heading towards the door, described as "Polexit".
France says such an exit is now a "de facto risk". Late on Friday the French and German foreign ministers rebuked Poland, saying EU membership relied upon "complete and unconditional adherence to common values and rules" and this was "not simply a moral commitment. It is also a legal commitment".
The European Commission has warned it will use all its powers against Poland.
On Thursday, Poland's Constitutional Tribunal ruled that key articles of one of the EU's primary treaties were incompatible with Polish law, in effect rejecting the principle that EU law has primacy over national legislation in certain judicial areas.
'Protecting Polish reform' "In practical terms, this ruling introduces aspects of a legal Polexit because it will deepen the problem of judicial co-operation between Polish and European courts, in particular the mutual recognition of judgements," Patryk Wachowiec, research fellow at the Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law told the BBC.
"I think they are trying to protect their reform of the judiciary."
Mr Wachowiec said the prime minister had brought the challenge for protection against rulings from the EU's top court over the past six years. These rulings had condemned the governing camp's sweeping changes to the judiciary.
Mr Morawiecki was also seeking to stop Polish judges from using EU law to question the status of their colleagues appointed following those changes, he said.

Leave! Do it!
I read the article and I still don’t know what the problem is.
So I’m assuming it got to do with butt sects.
Get out before the EU has its own army and national armies start getting dissolved.
And convince the rest of Eastern Europe to go with you!
Read more carefully: “ the principle that EU law has primacy over national legislation in certain judicial areas.”
> EU membership relied upon “complete and unconditional adherence to common values and rules” <
What the perfumed EU elites really want is a complete and unconditional surrender.
Personally I think the European Union should change its name to the Fourth Reich. Because that’s surely the direction they’re headed.
Leftist fascism has never worked.
Time for the EU ti suck it up if they are not going to renounce their anti-people policies.
Some music to go with your picture:

Sabaton has more real history than most modern US university history departments.
Although maybe not quite as much as Mark Felton.
Interesting they left out Latvia and Estonia from the survey. Probably because their ethnic Russian population are less enamored with the EU than other folks.
I would hope they pole vault out of the EU.

Before Kung Flu mania I was about to buy some property in the South and prepare to move there. Lousy Fauci funded Chinese.
Poland has a right to be independent. So does England. So did Virginia.
Oh, and so does Texas and Hungary according to Abraham Lincoln.
I’ll stick with my original thoughts on the E. U.
E U - P U
For the communists, that says it all...
Exactly what is currently being imposed on our country's serfs by their communist rulers, with very little push-back...
However, some of the things we are currently privileged to enjoy are:
As long as we behave, we'll all get along just fine...
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
Zrób to!
In fact, the tribunal's judgment was very measured and only said that the EU's courts do not have jurisdiction over areas not clearly conceded in the treaty by which Poland joined the EU, and that the Polish constitution and law take precedence in areas outside the EU's competence.
Polexit?
I’m hoping it means the EU will get Poleaxed!
