So it begins the 1.8 trillion recovery fund budget has been sunk by Poland and Hungary.The leader of the pis party was comparing Brussels' actions to the Soviet Union's rule in the past over Poland, adding: "We're on the right side of history, and those who want to take away our sovereignty based on their own whims are headed for a fall.

Another good reason for getting out, being in control of your own destiny instead of being held back by countries with different agendas.

I warned of this the other day but it was promptly ignored or dismissed by supporters of the EU, who in reality know very little of the EU

“We will look, if we need to, as a last resort, how to move ahead without the countries blocking. Because Europe can’t be held hostage by a certain number of countries which don’t want to respect the essential foundations of our political project.”

The recovery fund had not flooded.

Surely you would like it, but it won't happen.

What this mentally ill PiS leader said is of little importance. They are close to losing power in Poland. He dreams of a dictatorship, which will never happen.

By the way, if you and your right-wing friends do not know what is really happening in Poland now, stop talking about it because you are making a laughingstock of yourself.

I guess when you live somewhere you get a better insight to the place.

Rather than looking at another place only through the prism of your chosen news source.

I agree, and that was not my main point.

Simply that living somewhere gives you more knowledge of that place than only reading/seeing what is reported.

My preconceptions of a place are nearly always wrong when I get to go there.

Even bloody Suffolk isn't as bad as it seems...

The point though is not what is happening in Poland but that disputes are growing between countries and Brussels over things such as sovereignty, laws, taxes etc and that just one or two countries can veto the EU budget and damage the economies and spending plans of the whole of the EU.

It's good to be out of it

I bloody don't! Essex.

No, I have no idea about Liverpool. However, I have friends and family that live in Castleford, for example. I have a much clearer picture of what is going on there.

I'd imagine chatting to friends/family back in Poland would also provide a better picture than our UK centric media.

What is the reason given by these 2 countries to block the whole thing? are they after more cash ect?

Is this linked to the aid given to Spain and Italy for covid where some countries wanted it as a loan rather than aid or maybe thats another seperate problem

No its because the eu have attached a caveat to receiving the aid which they say it seriously erodes democratic standards and sovereignty .

The problem is that the constitution is broken in Poland. Poland wants to withdraw from the treaty signed in July. The constitutional tribunal and the disciplinary chamber have been illegally elected and are politicized. Basic human rights are violated. Thousands of people send letters to the European commission with complaints about the Polish government because it is seeking totalitarian rule. The Polish government has a lot to hide, therefore it is afraid of making the payments of EU funds dependent on the rule of law.

Plus corruption, as well as in Hungary when it comes to corruption.

Im not surprised, confidence in a government usually dips after a year or so of power and especially with their backward way of thinking on abortion etc but they are in until autumn 2023.I do understand the thinking on immigration though, they have seen what happened in sweden and are not going to let the eu dictate how many imigrants they have to take.

you need consent from every country when borrowing and spending on their behalf.

Talking about accepting or not accepting migrants from Africa is just covering up deeper problems in Poland.

This government and the party will not last until 2023. I think there will be early elections. The veto to the EU budget will be the nail in the coffin of this government and this party

There is no veto yet. There are only allegations to the previously signed treaty.

Oh don't worry they won't be able too, "We will look, if we need to, as a last resort, how to move ahead without the countries blocking. Because Europe can’t be held hostage by a certain number of countries which don’t want to respect the essential foundations of our political project.” I will leave you to decide if that statement could be classed as democratic or not.

Another good reason for getting out, being in control of your own destiny instead of being held back by countries with different agendas.

I am confused, how did Poland & Hungary manage to veto the EU’s proposals? I thought they were an undemocratic dictatorship

There is no veto yet. There are only allegations to the previously signed treaty."

Yes there is they vetoed it last night .

Yep, but they knew that when they joined? I am not sure why anti EU people are still so interested in what the EU are doing,

Oh don't worry they won't be able too, "We will look, if we need to, as a last resort, how to move ahead without the countries blocking. Because Europe can’t be held hostage by a certain number of countries which don’t want to respect the essential foundations of our political project.” I will leave you to decide if that statement could be classed as democratic or not."

Does each member state have the power of veto or not?

"What is the reason given by these 2 countries to block the whole thing? are they after more cash ect?

Is this linked to the aid given to Spain and Italy for covid where some countries wanted it as a loan rather than aid or maybe thats another seperate problem

The problem is that the constitution is broken in Poland. Poland wants to withdraw from the treaty signed in July. The constitutional tribunal and the disciplinary chamber have been illegally elected and are politicized. Basic human rights are violated. Thousands of people send letters to the European commission with complaints about the Polish government because it is seeking totalitarian rule. The Polish government has a lot to hide, therefore it is afraid of making the payments of EU funds dependent on the rule of law.

Plus corruption, as well as in Hungary when it comes to corruption.

And I agree with the European Union, as do 77% of Polish society.How come the pis vote percentage went up from 37.6 in 2015 to 43.6 in 2019 that really does not tally with your 77%

People I'm believed in their lies. The same as in the UK on Brexit lies. PiS now has around 26% supportIm not surprised, confidence in a government usually dips after a year or so of power and especially with their backward way of thinking on abortion etc but they are in until autumn 2023.I do understand the thinking on immigration though, they have seen what happened in sweden and are not going to let the eu dictate how many imigrants they have to take.

Talking about accepting or not accepting migrants from Africa is just covering up deeper problems in Poland.

This government and the party will not last until 2023. I think there will be early elections. The veto to the EU budget will be the nail in the coffin of this government and this partyhow will that happen if they have a majority do they work the same way as the uk or is it different?"

Pis suspended few weeks ago a dozen MPs for insubordination. They did not vote the party leader as intended. A few days ago he had to return them to the parliamentary chamber because several MPs left for another party. Besides, they have a coalition with another party, a small party, but this coalition is not very strong. If the coalition is broken, PiS will lose the majority. And it looks like it will.

Guess what, the club has rules, if you want the benefits of that structural funding then you follow the rules. Hungary and Poland haven't been following the rules, they have been going out of their way not to. Hungary is an autocracy and Poland is up their with the UK when it comes to crony capitalism.

Only time will tell, if you think the EU isn’t going to make changes and collapse then I guess you are hoping they fail. I will ask you the same question as Costa, are you one of the Brexit voters that are hoping the EU fails ?

Because Europe can’t be held hostage by a certain number of countries which don’t want to respect the essential foundations of our political project.” I will leave you to decide if that statement could be classed as democratic or not.

Does each member state have the power of veto or not? "

Yes they do. But do you understand how the veto system actually works in the EU? Do some research on it and understand how the system works then maybe you will see how useless the system is if one country wants something different to the rest. Start from the Lisbon treaty as that was the last change made to the current veto system.

Do you think the statement from the EU could be classed as democratic then?

"So it begins the 1.8 trillion recovery fund budget has been sunk by Poland and Hungary.The leader of the pis party was comparing Brussels' actions to the Soviet Union's rule in the past over Poland, adding: "We're on the right side of history, and those who want to take away our sovereignty based on their own whims are headed for a fall.

Another good reason for getting out, being in control of your own destiny instead of being held back by countries with different agendas.

I am confused, how did Poland & Hungary manage to veto the EU’s proposals? I thought they were an undemocratic dictatorship you need consent from every country when borrowing and spending on their behalf.

Yep, but they knew that when they joined? I am not sure why anti EU people are still so interested in what the EU are doing, Probably for the same reason people are interested in the usa elections what china,russia etc are doing

Is it? Are you one of those Brexit voters who will only feel vindicated if the EU fails? No why would i want them to fail ? i started this post to point out as a nation we can make decisions based on our needs much quicker than the eu can as there are so many conflicting opinions on whats best for them.

I agree, we can, the EU has many faults but when you join you know the rules. Not exactly the rules and the whole concept has changed since the uk joined the common market.

Wich UK accepted. we in the uk were not ask we were signed up because people like kinnock could see they could make millions after being kicked out of uk politics,when were the people ever ask if that was what they wanted?"

The parliament that decided was elected by the people, do you have faith in the MPs that you vote for or should there be a referendum on every EU decision

I know how the Veto system works and it is far from perfect, yes their statement ‘could be classed as’ democratic.

Well yes T blair said there would be then u turned.

Although the United Kingdom ratified the treaty in Parliament, this was not without some opposition. Broadly the governing Labour party supported the treaty, while the opposition Conservatives did not. The Liberal Democrats supported the treaty, while calling for a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU as a whole.[119] Several 'Eurosceptic' MPs called for a referendum on the ratification of the treaty. Daniel Hannan pointed out that the Prime Minister, Tony Blair had twice promised a referendum on the matter, to which Blair replied that he had promised a referendum on the European Constitution rather than the Lisbon Treaty,

Well you certainly have a different view of what a democracy is to me then. Far from perfect is a understatement, and if you do understand how it works then you will know that those two countries veto won't change a thing, they will just be added to the number of outstanding cases for the EU Court to rule on if they don't tow the line.

That is far more than I realised , but they lost in a democratic vote. Ireland were the only EU nation to hold a referendum on the Lisbon treaty so I dont think it was necessary for the UK to do the same

I see this argument "Its because we joined the common market, not the EU" It's almost too stupid to reply to but here goes.

First, do you recognise the world has changed a lot since 1973?

Second, Where was the sweet spot? At what point was the UK a fully signed up member to the European project?

The Liberal Democrats supported the treaty, while calling for a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU as a whole.[119] Several 'Eurosceptic' MPs called for a referendum on the ratification of the treaty. Daniel Hannan pointed out that the Prime Minister, Tony Blair had twice promised a referendum on the matter, to which Blair replied that he had promised a referendum on the European Constitution rather than the Lisbon Treaty,

How many MPs apposed the treaty? 224

That is far more than I realised , but they lost in a democratic vote. Ireland were the only EU nation to hold a referendum on the Lisbon treaty so I dont think it was necessary for the UK to do the same yes and ireland rejected it so suprise,suprise have another one until we get the result we want."

That isn’t how it worked ,

Another good reason for getting out, being in control of your own destiny instead of being held back by countries with different agendas.

I am confused, how did Poland & Hungary manage to veto the EU’s proposals? I thought they were an undemocratic dictatorship you need consent from every country when borrowing and spending on their behalf.

Yep, but they knew that when they joined? I am not sure why anti EU people are still so interested in what the EU are doing, Probably for the same reason people are interested in the usa elections what china,russia etc are doing

Is it? Are you one of those Brexit voters who will only feel vindicated if the EU fails? No why would i want them to fail ? i started this post to point out as a nation we can make decisions based on our needs much quicker than the eu can as there are so many conflicting opinions on whats best for them.

I agree, we can, the EU has many faults but when you join you know the rules. Not exactly the rules and the whole concept has changed since the uk joined the common market.

Wich UK accepted. we in the uk were not ask we were signed up because people like kinnock could see they could make millions after being kicked out of uk politics,when were the people ever ask if that was what they wanted?

The parliament that decided was elected by the people, do you have faith in the MPs that you vote for or should there be a referendum on every EU decision Well yes T blair said there would be then u turned.

Your relationship with facts is sub optimal at best. The text was changed and the revised treaty was voted on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-eighth_Amendment_of_the_Constitution_of_Ireland#Changes_to_the_text

Côte d'Azur & Great Yarmouth

“… promised a referendum on the European Constitution”

In the end he didn’t have to though, did he? France vetoed it, and when he said to Jack Straw: “I was rather looking forward to a referendum” he got the reply: “Then you’re dafter than I thought”

But if the UK had been more pro-active in the formulation of Lisbon rather than just opting out of the bits it didn’t like, we wouldn’t have had the weakening of the Commission, Parliament and Council of Ministers in favour of the now all-too-familiar “dictatorship” of the European Council. Water under the bridge of course and, mixing metaphors, we’ve already thrown the baby out with the bath-water.

Oh don't worry they won't be able too, "We will look, if we need to, as a last resort, how to move ahead without the countries blocking. Because Europe can’t be held hostage by a certain number of countries which don’t want to respect the essential foundations of our political project.” I will leave you to decide if that statement could be classed as democratic or not.

Does each member state have the power of veto or not?

Yes they do. But do you understand how the veto system actually works in the EU? Do some research on it and understand how the system works then maybe you will see how useless the system is if one country wants something different to the rest. Start from the Lisbon treaty as that was the last change made to the current veto system.

Do you think the statement from the EU could be classed as democratic then?

I know how the Veto system works and it is far from perfect, yes their statement ‘could be classed as’ democratic.

Well you certainly have a different view of what a democracy is to me then. Far from perfect is a understatement, and if you do understand how it works then you will know that those two countries veto won't change a thing, they will just be added to the number of outstanding cases for the EU Court to rule on if they don't tow the line.

They knew the rules ? And we all have a different ‘view’ of what democracy is, is your version more valid than mine? "

No idea what your version is if you think that's a democratic statement, but each to there own, as you said mate.

So what begins? The break-up of the EU? I thought Brexit began that already.

Maybe the EU will wear them down? Maybe they'll get kicked out? Maybe they'll leave because self determination is more important than money?

That last one is the best reason of all.

I think they know what they're doing. Orban in particular is testing the resolve and will of the EU. He's not interested in playing by the rules and wants to test the response of the EU. He knows the EU doesn't want the fight right now.

I see this argument "Its because we joined the common market, not the EU" It's almost too stupid to reply to but here goes.

First, do you recognise the world has changed a lot since 1973?

Second, Where was the sweet spot? At what point was the UK a fully signed up member to the European project?yeah you are right probably to stupid to reply to if someone has not got the sense to know the difference between a trade agreement and a federal union.With that im off rugby premiship starts tonight.

Who are you watching? quins v exeter.

How are the chiefs doing without the Scottish They won 33 3

England Ireland tomorrow - easy win for the Irish I reckon "

"So it begins the 1.8 trillion recovery fund budget has been sunk by Poland and Hungary.The leader of the pis party was comparing Brussels' actions to the Soviet Union's rule in the past over Poland, adding: "We're on the right side of history, and those who want to take away our sovereignty based on their own whims are headed for a fall.

Another good reason for getting out, being in control of your own destiny instead of being held back by countries with different agendas.

So what begins? The break-up of the EU? I thought Brexit began that already.

Maybe the EU will wear them down? Maybe they'll get kicked out? Maybe they'll leave because self determination is more important than money?

That last one is the best reason of all.

Hungary and Poland won't be leaving the EU anytime soon.

Yeap. These two imbeciles (Morawiecki and Orban) signed a treaty they did not understand. Same as did johnson who signed a Brexit deal with the EU that he didn't understand.

Are populists that stupid? Another proof that it is

I think they know what they're doing. Orban in particular is testing the resolve and will of the EU. He's not interested in playing by the rules and wants to test the response of the EU. He knows the EU doesn't want the fight right now.

So what happens now the budget has been vetoed?

Budget has not been vetoed. Objections were raised.

I thought you said you knew what was happening in Poland?

It was vetoed last night, they now have to talk about it for another few months as the eu always do and something will have to give."

You wrong. This is not an official veto. This shows how you understand the EU working.

The time is until December 10th. Time will tell what will happen. It just so happens that Poland and Hungary are the beneficiaries of this budget, so your joy in the failure of the EU is premature.

So from the posts above it seems Poland and Hungary have democratically elected governments but are taking their respective countries in a more authoritarian direction. Now the EU are trying to influence this by adding new rules to get funds. So leads me to ask if an EU country did go hard left or hard right with the people's consent would they still be able to be in the EU.

"So what happens now the budget has been vetoed?"

Even if rejected (it hasn't yet!), everything still carries on under the "provisional twelfths" rule, i.e. you can't spend in any one month more than a twelfth of what was spent last year. Don't forget, salaries still have to be paid, the electricity bills met, the only problem occurs when there's a quarterly rent to be paid. But any worth-while Administrator knows how to get round that... It's not the first time a budget has been rejected/delayed, of course everyone wants a little better out of the next seven-year "Multiannual Financial Framework" but one WILL be agreed and approved. Believe it or not, EU life goes on, and will continue to do so even without the UK!

The answer I suppose, yes within certain limits. But restricting citizens rights, eliminating the principle of the separation of powers, reducing the power of a free press and eliminating the role of parliament are all contrary to the principles of the EU. All of the examples I cited have occurred in either Hungary or Poland.

Some of you guys don't understand British politics so why go so far and talk about EU or Eastern Europe?!

The more you go East things get more complicated. Unless you wore born/ lived there for many years it's hard to understand.

Hungary has always been the black sheep, playing at many ends ( EU member, BFF with Rusia, but has close ties with USA etc) Orban is a dick thinking he can silence the press and pass any law he likes, close universities, forgetting about the EU treaty.

Poland?? The abortion law is just the cherry on top of a big fat cake that is in the oven for many years.

...and let's not forget other countries in the region:

Bulgaria: coruption at its highest level and the poorest country in EU.

Romania: only last year the leader of the biggest party went to jail, thanks to public going on the streets for months (+ pressure from EU leaders and USA)

EU needs to send a clear message to all the naughty kids that Human rights, coruption, free press are not things to be negotiated.

And remember there are other countries that want to join: Serbia, Turkey, Moldova, Albania.

What mgs would that send to them if EU leaders would make concession on fundamental rights.

?

Because people like you were saying how the uk would be on its knees leaving the eu.We have already a better deal with japan a continuation of a deal with canada with new talks on tech etc to start next year,talks with the cptpp which could be positive and today it looks like a deal with the eu in the next week or two all without a eu parliament,mep,s or 5 presidents happy days.
