Beata Szydło requests special meeting of European Parliament committee — Interia

In Poland, Member of the European Parliament and former Prime Minister Beata Szydło said that she had submitted a request to convene an extraordinary meeting of the European Democracy Shield committee in the European Parliament. She wants the committee to discuss the situation surrounding Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal.

Request to the European Parliament committee

As Interia reports, Szydło said that the European Democracy Shield committee was created to monitor violations of democratic processes in EU countries. In her view, the situation in Poland provides grounds for considering this issue.

The MEP described the actions of Donald Tusk’s government concerning the Constitutional Tribunal as ones that, in her conviction, violate democratic principles. She also believes that the committee should more broadly examine the activities of the Polish government.
