Ex-Finance Minister Kosczynski: EU "stabbed a knife in the back" of Poland, blocking funding

He said this in an interview with The Daiy Express.

In early June, the European Commission approved a plan to restore the economy of Poland, affected by the coronavirus pandemic, for a total amount of more than €35 billion.

Meanwhile, it was specified that Poland would have to continue judicial reforms in order to gain access to these funds.

Kosczyński regarded such EU policy towards Poland as a betrayal.

In his opinion, the EU should not focus on such problems while the Ukrainian conflict continues.

Polish President Andrzej Duda said earlier that Warsaw no longer intends to make concessions to the European Commission on the issue of reforms.
