WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on Monday defended a recent meeting of European populist leaders by saying Poland is seeking allies in its challenge of what he called a “centralized Europe.”

Morawiecki was reacting to criticism of the meeting hosted Saturday in Warsaw by Poland’s ruling conservative Law and Justice party. Far-right politicians including Marine Le Pen of France and Santiago Abascal of Spain’s Vox party were among the participants.

Referring to tensions between the nationalist Polish government and the European Union in Brussels, which says some of the Polish government’s policies violate the rules of democracy, Morawiecki told reporters that Poland was being treated unfairly. He said he was “seeking allies in this struggle against federalized Europe, against centralized Europe.”

He said the parties whose leaders met in Warsaw are “patriotic” and want a “Europe of homelands and a strong European Union that draws its strength from its member states. We want that, too.”

But Morawiecki distanced himself from comments Le Pen made to Poland’s Rzeczpospolita daily. She said that Poland’s eastern neighbor “Ukraine belongs to Russia’s sphere of influence.” The comments go against the basic tenets of Poland’s foreign and security policies, in which Poland backs Kyiv’s aspirations to join the EU.

“We do not need to agree on everything … we can differ on many things, like in this case,” Morawiecki said, adding that not all in the West understand the situation in Eastern Europe

Back in the day, I thought "populism" was usually associated with Democrats; Huey Long comes to mind. But now, populism is a dirty word on the left. Why? Because it signifies opposition to the globalist plan for the centralization of power and decision-making.

Thus, Democrats are lying whenever they say that conservative Republicans oppose "democracy." It is in fact the modified democracy of representative government that we are trying to save, which includes the primacy of the nation-state and the constitutions which govern them over the dictates of unelected globalist bureaucracies and NGOs.
