Leaders of Poland, Germany call for ‘swift’ solution to Warsaw’s rule of law row with EU
"We would like to express our joint desire that the disputed issues be resolved as swiftly as possible ... I have presented our perspectives and solutions to the chancellor and we will see how this develops," Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told reporters in Warsaw after his first meeting with Olaf Scholz as Germany's new chancellor.
Scholz emphasized the importance of "the rule of law and democracy" for the European Union and said this was why "it would be very good and helpful if the discussions and talks between the European Commission and Poland could soon lead to a very good and pragmatic solution."

Morawiecki argued the pipeline "increases the ability of the Kremlin to put pressure on Ukraine and the European Union …We’re very nervous about the scenarios that could take place after the opening of Nord Stream 2." He added that other Eastern European countries could be "blackmailed" by Russia.(...)
