European Council president and former Polish leader Donald Tusk has
said the Polish government is preparing to put his native country’s EU
membership into question.
Tusk spoke outside the Polish prosecutor’s office on Thursday (3 August) in Warsaw where he spent eight hours answering questions about his role in the 2010 Smolensk air disaster.
The probe is widely seen as an attempt by the ruling Law and Justice party to blacken his name.
But Tusk highlighted the fact that Law and Justice has ignored an EU court order to stop logging in the primeval Bialowierza forest.
"There is a question mark over Poland's European future today," he said.
“The fact that a European tribunal decision is rejected so arrogantly is evidence of something very dangerous in my opinion - it is an overt attempt to put Poland in conflict with the European Union,” he went on.
