BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Poland’s Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said on Thursday that she would block the joint statement that normally follows a meeting of European Union leaders after they overrode her objections to re-electing the summit chair.<\/p>\n
She said this would mean the summit was invalid, but EU officials said this was not the case.<\/p>\n
Szydlo said walking over the Polish opposition deepened divisions in the bloc and undermined key EU principles.<\/p>\n
“If we fail to rebuild these principles of respect for every member state, the EU will be faced with crises for many years,” she told a news conference.<\/p>\n
Szydlo made the comments after Donald Tusk, her compatriot but political foe, was given a second term to chair the EU summits by all the other 27 EU states despite Poland’s objections.<\/p>\n
Diplomats said that Tusk’s reappointment would not be prevented even if Warsaw blocked the summit conclusions.<\/p>\n
