Paris, Berlin urge Warsaw to abide by EU law after Budapest welcomes

The dispute over the decision of the Polish Constitutional Court that the country's laws take precedence over those of the European Union provoked reactions, as Hungary, France and Germany came out in support of different parties.

The Polish decision drew hasty condemnation from the EU executive and the main parties in the European Parliament. One commentator described it as a "nuclear attack on the EU legal order".

It also raised fears about a "Polex". The initiative was initiated by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki as part of the ongoing dispute over the rule of law challenging Warsaw and Brussels after the European Court of Justice ruled earlier this year that the country's mechanism for disciplining judges would violate EU rules and ordered his suspension.

Paris and Berlin backed Brussels through a joint statement in which they affirmed that "membership in the European Union goes hand in hand with full and unconditional observance of common values ​​and rules."

The statement by French and German foreign ministers Jean-Yves Le Drian and Heiko Maas respectively came a day before Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban signed a government resolution welcoming the decision of the Polish constitutional court.

In the resolution, the Hungarian government calls on EU institutions to respect the sovereignty of the bloc's 27 member states, Orban spokesman Bertalan Havasi told the Hungarian news agency MTI.

The Hungarian resolution says that the poor practices of the EU institutions, which disregard the principle of delegation of powers, prompted the Polish court to consider the issue of legal priority.

"The priority of EU law should be applied only in areas where the EU has competence, and the framework for this is set out in the founding treaties of the EU," the Hungarian document reads.

The resolution also states that the EU institutions are obliged to respect the national identities of the member states. National law enforcement agencies, in particular the courts and the Constitutional Courts, have the right to consider the scope and limits of the EU's powers, she says.
