Hey, let’s be like Europe!

Or, If you like your independence, you can keep your independence.

EU bureaucrats to Poland: Dudes, about that Constitutional Court of yours …

(I read the whole thing, but: I didn’t go to law school; nor am I European. Recent news stories have the more western-located government spokespersons and the EU bureaucrats all in a tizzy over Poland and Hungary electing “ultra-conservative” parties to parliaments.)

“But Poland’s justice minister, Zbigniew Ziobro, claimed the commission was using the rule of law issue to force Poland to ‘take tens of thousands of refugees and migrants’.

“’The commission intervenes when it is convenient for the commission,’ he said, accusing Brussels of blackmailing Poland to force the country to take more than the 7,600 Syrian migrants agreed.”

(You knew the downtrodden, war-fleeing, pacifist refugees were involved somewhere.

(Serbia doesn't want any refugees crossing its land. Maybe Hungary and Serbia remember Muslim invaders; Poland, too, since it was a Polish army that saved Europe from Muslim invaders in 1683. Western Europe was too busy with internal problems then to pay attention to the Muslim threat.)
