Voting on the report
On Wednesday, the European Parliament adopted a study by the Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO) recommending the revision of the EU Treaties. This does not mean changes to the treaties yet. Let us point out that, contrary to the communicative of Jarosław Kaczyński, Euro-Parliamentarians have, for the moment, only set a possible direction for change. But in order for fundamental changes to take place in European structures, it would be essential to have the unanimity of all EU members, and this is not the case for now. On Wednesday there was a vote on the study of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, which recommends amending the Treaties.
How did Polish politicians vote?
There were 291 MEPs in favour of this report, 274 against and 44 abstentions. How did Polish politicians vote? Euro MPs of the Civic Platform, PiS, PSL, Sovereign Poland voted against the document. Europarliamentarians: Rose Thun, Leszek Miller, Marek Belka, Robert Biedron, Sylwia Spurek, Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz, Łukasz Kohut, Marek Balt and Bogusław Liberadzki supported this project.
Tusk against naive Euro-enthusiasm
Although the European People's Party, to which KO belongs in the European Parliament, is inclined towards a deeper integration of the European Union, Donald Tusk made it clear about this project, presenting a separate sentence:
We remember brexit. 1 of the reasons why Britain left the European Union was the naive, sometimes even unbearable Euro-enthusism, which turned into projects that changed the EU's character, said Tusk on Tuesday, 21 November.
Róża Thun, who is simply a associate of Poland 2050, and so a centre formation, acted differently. Her vote for the possible revision of the treaties can now be utilized by right-wing media against all the 3rd Road, which turned out to be the black horse of parliamentary elections. Before the elections to the European Parliament, this case may return and Thun will most likely be presented as a individual who symbolizes Poland's approval for the failure of autonomy and sovereignty.
Thun belongs to Spinelli Group
Rose Thun erstwhile joined Spinelli The Group, which explains why it voted in favour. It is an initiative for the federalisation of the European Union.
