  2. The psyche of the nations that are vehemently opposing EU regulations can be somewhat attributed to the dark history of Poland and Hungary, formerly proud defenders of Europe during the Ottoman Wars, that were subjugated by their neighbours. They achieved full independence again in 1918 only to become essentially client states to the USSR until 1989. Knowing and understanding this is imo a key component to the resurgence of nationalist populism and an attitude that equates integration and compromise within the EU to abject subjugation... Once again...

  4.  @stavrosk.2868  It's the same when people say that "the West" was saved in the battle of Marathon. Conjecture at best...

  5. Poland was the first country in Europe to have a constitution? Laying it on a bit thick are we? My friend, other countries had constitutions before Poland even existed as an entity.

  6. It doesn't matter what the public opinion is if the governing body is lock-step behind a decision. Especially if said governing body is actively undermining the very institutions (courts and media) that would otherwise check their executive and legislative powers.
