The head of Poland’s ruling party, Jarosław Kaczyński, has said Germany is trying to turn the EU into a federal “German fourth reich”.
Speaking to the far-right Polish newspaper GPC, the head of the Law and Justice party (PiS) said some countries “are not enthusiastic at the prospect of a German fourth reich being built on the basis of the EU”.
“If we Poles agreed with this kind of modern-day submission we would be degraded in different ways,” said Kaczyński, who is also a deputy prime minister. He added that the European court of justice was being used as an “instrument” for federalist ideas.
Poland has been involved in a lengthy standoff with the EU, particularly over the judicial changes that PiS has pushed through since 2015.
The EU this week said it was launching legal action against Poland for ignoring EU law and undermining judicial independence.
Poland has accused the bloc of “bureaucratic centralism”.
During a visit to Warsaw by the new German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, this month, the prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, said the current Berlin government’s support for EU federalism was “utopian and therefore dangerous”.

it already is nazified
It really is facinating how totaltarian that part of the world is through history.
Well yeah, ... it took the Poles a while to figure it out last time as well.
in the 1980’s, when the whole EC/EU thing was getting started, i had the notion that that organization would be, like a reich, with the triumverate of Berlin, Rome, and Brussels. Brussels-legal, Rome-ecumenical, and Berlin-military.
I am glad to see others seeing the octopus, too.
Just be glad someone in a high office is saying it.
I said long long ago that Merkel had it figured out that the way of the Nazi was proved not to work so she is trying to take over Europe though the UN, Brussels, etc.
Octopus….. or Hydra.
I admit I don’t understand Polish political factions, but didn’t Polish President Andrzej Duda just call for a large Army to confront the threat from Russia? Which is the bigger threat?
Poland once again feels the wolf at both the back and the front door.
Totalitarian Governments eventually have no need for Ecumenical or Legal Branches, once they have the military and Money nothing else really matters....
German already is the Bank of the EU, they are working on the military all hope is lost for the EU until a revolution begins.
Wasn’t that the idea all along? Someone posted something similar here on FR way back in the 1990’s.
At least one person in the EU has a firm grasp of the obvious.
That’s Poland’s forever problem. It must choose between Germany and Russia. If it doesn’t align with one, it will be swallowed up.
The FEUrth Reich.
Yes and how they always blame it on the U.S. and then come screaming for our money.
I have thought and said for twenty years, the Germans are doing with the EU what Hitler fail to do with his military.
German reunification: I view this in much the same way I view a possible Dean Martin - Jerry Lewis reconciliation: I never really enjoyed their work, and I’m not sure I need to see any of their new s___. - Dennis Miller

A Polish soldier comes across a German and a Russian soldier, which does he shoot first?
The German, of course, business before pleasure.
