The electoral law, the investigative committee and the rule of law in Poland (B9-0318/2023, B9-0319/2023)
Mr President, Poland is a sovereign state with democratically elected institutions, acting in the interests of its citizens, and no one has the right to impose on it from the outside their idea of how it should work. Why are we interfering? Is it not enough for us to have foreign failures in rebalancing democracy into Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, and today the conflict in Ukraine has increased? In fact, there was one success, our meddling. We have managed to raise the migration wave, which we do not know how to deal with today. I think there are many other problems to solve, and one of them, and most importantly, is the end of the war in Ukraine. Against all this, Poland and its internal functioning is a completely marginal matter. But as they say, everyone does what it takes. Let's stop mentoring, lecturing, imposing our ideas on democracy, and figure out what to do. We will avoid so many problems. For these reasons, I voted against.
