Angela Merkel said could not remain mum about what EU leaders, activists and opposition politicians in Poland says is a lurch towards authoritarianism in Warsaw under the ruling nationalist Law and Justice Party (PiS).
"...The rule of law in Poland - that's a serious issue because the requirements for cooperation within the European Union are the principles of the rule of law," said German Chancellor. "We cannot simply hold our tongues and not say anything for the sake of peace and quiet," Merkel said, adding she would discuss the issue "in detail" with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker when he visits Germany on Wednesday. PiS says the criticism is unacceptable foreign meddling.
