Poland has hit back after the European Parliament voted in support of launching sanctions against it.
The 438 to 152 resolution in favour of initiating Article 7 proceedings against the Central European country — which could see its EU voting rights suspended, among other penalties — was preceded by a fierce debate, the Associated Press reports.
Guy Verhofstadt, a former Prime Minister of Belgium, a European Parliament group leader, and a Brexit negotiations representative — logged as a “reliable ally” by the Open Society organisation run by billionaire open borders campaigner George Soros — accused the Polish government of having “lost its senses”.
Verhofstadt later took to social media to disparage the Slavic country at greater length, saying it had “degraded itself” to the level of Hungary, another conservative EU member-state which is frequently subject to the Belgian’s vituperative attacks.
Poland could still be a leader in Europe, but has degraded itself to the gang of Orbàn and its illiberal societies. Kaczynski has copied Orbàn by politicizing the constitutional court, curtailing the civil society, muzzling the free media #EPlenary
