POLAND - Poland is close to crashing out of the European Union because of its ongoing conflict with Brussels over rule of law, according to the bloc’s most senior official Donald Tusk. The European Council President insisted there is a “very serious threat” that ‘Polexit’ could happen by “accident” if the country’s leaders continue to row with EU bosses. Mr Tusk, who served as poland’s prime minister between 2007 and 2014, urged Warsaw’s current government to “come to its senses” and stop its high-profile feud with Brussels. The ruling Law and Justice party caused fury amongst the European Commission when its leaders decided to push through a number of judicial reforms, which forced a third of supreme court judges into early retirement. There are also ongoing rows over migration and logging between the Polish government and Brussels’ powerful executive.
