Peadar de Burca: Polexit. Some Thoughts

So it had to be. PiS’s clashes with EU democracy over the rule of law and the persistent and aggressive manner in which they defended the Turow lignite mine in violation of EU environmental law, all feed into the grand narrative of Poland’s never-ending civil war – the soap-opera that never stops.

The term Polexit has been hovering around the edges of our consciousness for a while now, like a raincloud or a swarm of wasps, but always safely in the distance. No-one took Polexit seriously, it had the whiff of a spoof, a parody, a low-budget farce which may or may not happen and only because someone bigger and more well-known had already done it first. And yet it is not only PiS who have authored Polexit into life. Tusk is equally culpable. Indeed the return of Mr Europe, the man who famously did his best to club some sense into Boris Johnson only to find the British PM as slippery as a greased piglet, has been the catalyst for bringing Polexit right up to our noses. Tusk needs this narrative as much as PiS do. His ego demands something big and meaty to chew on and wrestle with. How Poland could have done with him last October during the abortion protests, a time when undercover police were taking pictures of the PRACTICAL SILESIAN WIFE and our children during a peaceful march.
