Will Poland leave the European Union?
Perhaps, following Brexit, Polexit will also come - Poland’s exit from the “noble” European family. The danger of such a development of events was warned by the President of the European Council, former Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
At the same time, he criticized the current leadership of the country, which, in his opinion, is the initiator of processes that could lead to Polexit, and referred to the experience of Britain and its ex-prime minister David Cameron. Tusk noted that this politician did not want his country to leave the EU, but his activities led to Brexit

For this, Poland may be temporarily deprived of voting rights in the EU.

This negatively affected the results of the ruling party in the elections. A serious struggle is unfolding against the Eurosceptics in power, during which the Polish inhabitants are frightened by the restrictions from Europe.
