Poland’s new Prime Minister has called on the European Union to return to its “proper values” and traditional Christian roots. A Western-educated former banker who was sworn in on Dec 11, Mateusz Morawiecki said his dream was to “re-Christianise the EU” in an interview with a Catholic channel. Poland is a “great, proud nation,” he told TV Trwam, adding that it would not submit to “blackmail” from European leaders. His comments come after the European Parlia-ment passed a resolution threa-tening sanctions against Poland if it passed a series of measures, one of which is a plan to restrict abortions for foetal impairment. The EU parliament also criticised proposed judicial reforms that would force two fifths of the Supreme Court’s judges to retire and overhaul the body that appoints new judges. When asked about the risk of the EU cutting funds to Poland, Morawiecki recalled former French president François Hollande, saying: “I do remember one former president telling us earlier this year ‘you have values, we have funds.’ Well, I would love to help the West with proper values.”
