“Washington Post” about the NATO summit: PiS government can spoil your own performance. Goes the way Orban – Poland The Times

Writes “The Washington Post” – one of the largest newspapers in the United States, the NATO summit, which will take place in the Polish capital of 8 and 9 July, will be an opportunity for Polish “to be in the limelight in the international arena and celebrate the fact that the alliance will strengthen their defenses in the east. ” However, according to the authors of the government of Law and Justice will put a strain on the NATO summit.

“There is a danger that the ruling Law and Justice party and its leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski spoil your own performance. Instead of focusing on measures to put the growing threat from Russia, the summit may take a different route because of stormy debate over another threat, which is a democracy and the rule of law in Poland “- the newspaper writes, and emphasizes that, in this case, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who” ruled from behind the scenes, “and his party” will be able to blame only myself. ”

“The Washington Post” as the Polish government’s actions threaten the success of the NATO summit in Warsaw lists striving for “aggressive” acquisition of control of the authorities over the security services, the media and the state, which according to the log is “most disturbing” the judiciary. US journalists say that this indicates that Poland follows the same “quasi-authoritarian” way, which paved the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, to which foreign media have repeatedly compared the PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski.

Issued in Washington, DC daily also recalls a dispute concerning the Constitutional Court, noting that the government does not want to listen to the appeals of the European Commission and to submit to the decisions of the EU institutions. “Poland must accept the decision of the European Commission or to prepare for at least the theoretical probability of sanctions,” – writes “The Washington Post” and points out: “Conceit is short-sighted. Whether procedures for the EC on the Polish will be continued or not, the behavior of Polish may deter some governments of the Member States NATO to support the plan to place troops and weapons in Poland to stop Russian aggression. ”

The authors also provide that, after all, US President Barack Obama will continue to support a plan for sending NATO troops to the eastern Polish. They warn, however, that the US leader “should be prepared for the public and decisive clash with the government of Law and Justice because of its violations of democracy and nienaprawienia these errors before the arrival of Obama to Warsaw.” – Mr. Kaczynski must understand that his policy threatens relations with the US and thereby weakens the security of Polish – concludes, “The Washington Post”.
