The President of the PIS for a strong EU army and President!
(B2) Est-ce une pure stratégie de politique interne, l’évolution d’une pensée politique… ? En tout cas l’interview donnée par le leader du parti d’opposition conservateur polonais (PIS), Jaroslaw Kaczyński est très intéressante. Le jumeau du Président — dont on dit qu’il est le plus “politique” des deux — et ancien Premier ministre (qu’on disait eurosceptique) se révèle être un des plus audacieux fédéralistes qui soit. « It is necessary that the EU should become a real subject » explique-t-il lors d’une interview avec des collègues du quotidien Republic (January 25). " For this wish to come true, it should have a real force in international politics, a real military force. The EU should create an army at least comparable to that of the United States. This would mean that it would spend on defense at least 2,5% of GDP.”
A European President elected for 9 years, non-renewable, worthy of competing with the USA because he has the power of armed force
Who would decide on the command of this army, asks my colleague: “ The EU should create a command center with narrow but very strong competences. We should elect for a single mission, but very long (9 years approximately) the President of the EU, which would create a center of political direction. It should be independent of national centres. It should represent, at least initially, a European country of lesser importance. »
A superpower comparable to the United States
Who would this lucky winner be? The president of the PIS quotes “a Portuguese, a Swede or a Hungarian”. This president should not be automatically elected but chosen by consensus. And Kaczyński d’ajouter "S‘il avait le pouvoir de prendre des décisions telles que l’utilisation éventuelle des forces armées, cela serait faire de l’Europe une superpuissance comparable aux États-Unis. »
