MADRID, 6 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The President of Poland, Andrzej Duda, has ruled out the opening of new channels of negotiation with the European Union to receive 35,000 million euros in aid for the pandemic, paralyzed by the conflict with Brussels over the judicial reform process in the country.
“It seems to me that any additional attempt to satisfy the other party is not going to work,” Duda said in an interview with the ‘Sezi’ magazine, which will be published in its entirety on Monday.
“It seems to me that this country has already shown too much goodwill,” added the president in excerpts published by the Wpolityce portal.
Regarding the EU’s doubts about the scope of the judicial reform, Duda insists that, “as far as he is aware”, Poland has responded to all the conditions and the Government wants to make a formal request for funds in the coming weeks.
The money is of crucial importance to the Polish government, which is soaring borrowing costs amid a tight election race ahead of elections in October next year.
