President Duda: No Treaty Provisions for EU Exclusion; Such a Decision Would Mirror Brexit

- These are political games, political rhetoric for the upcoming election campaign, and that's how you should view it. Today, there is no one in Poland with a reasonable mind in any serious political party that – I believe – would even consider the issue of Poland leaving the EU. At the same time, I want to signal: Poland leaving the EU, because there are no treaty provisions that speak of anyone being excluded from the EU. It must be a decision like the Brexit decision. I don't see that option at all. Nobody today is proposing that we leave the EU. For me, this is about building certain myths for the needs of political struggle in the election campaign. Please treat it as such – stated President Andrzej Duda in an interview with Marcin Makowski on WP, when asked about opposition accusations of Polexit.
