Can Romania & Poland Break EU Apart?-Both CHALLENGE EU Law

Polish PM accuses EU of blackmail as row over rule of law escalates
Road to Polexit? Warsaw takes on EU, triggers rule of law showdown
BBC News 15 JAN 2022.
Poland's constitutional court, whose members are picked by parliament's sitting majority, has sided with the government and has challenged the legal order under which all member states defer to the European Court of Justice. Warsaw insists it is got no intention of leaving but could the Poles break the EU apart?
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has accused the EU of blackmail in a heated debate with European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen over the rule of law. But why is Poland fighting the supremacy of EU courts?
The clash in the European Parliament follows a top Polish court ruling that rejected key parts of EU law.
Mrs von der Leyen said she would act to prevent Poland undermining EU values.
In response, Mr Morawiecki rejected "the language of threats" and accused the EU of overstepping its powers.
Poles overwhelmingly support being part of the EU, opinion polls suggest, but Poland's right-wing nationalist government has increasingly been at odds with the union on issues ranging from LGBT rights to judicial independence.
The latest row has come to a head over an unprecedented and controversial ruling by Poland's Constitutional Tribunal that in effect rejects the core principle that EU law has primacy over national legislation.
The case, brought by the Polish prime minister, was the first time that an EU member state's leader had questioned EU treaties in a national constitutional court.
