Polish party calls for blocking Ukraine's path to EU

“Przemyslaw Czarnek stated that the Law and Justice party does not support Ukraine's membership in the European Union (EU) due to the heroization of the perpetrators of the Volyn tragedy.

 

The politician and candidate for the post of Polish Prime Minister, who belongs to the Law and Justice party, stated on his account on the social network X that the party calls on the government to speak out against Ukraine's accession to the EU, UNIAN reports.

 

“We will submit a draft resolution to the Seimas on the opposition to Ukraine's accession to the EU, taking into account the heroization of the perpetrators of the Volyn tragedy. We call on the government to oppose any stage of the development of Ukraine's integration into the EU,” P. Czarnek wrote.

 

The politician added that the EU “cannot include a state that openly appeals to the most terrible legacy that can exist.”

 

Earlier, the leader of the Law and Justice party, Jaroslaw Kaszynski, said that his party would not allow Ukraine to become a member of the EU unless Kyiv renounces the cult of Stepan Bandera and the heroization of the OUN and UPA.

 

J. Kaszynski emphasized that Poland supported Ukraine and its territorial integrity. According to him, the leadership of the Law and Justice party carried out unprecedented military, diplomatic and humanitarian actions, which, in his opinion, helped preserve Ukrainian statehood in the most difficult period in history.”
