The Polish Government and leading opposition representatives publically argue the proposition that the European Union may force Warsaw to recognise same-sex marriages, despite the landmark ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (TEU), which requires Poland to recognise a matrimony legally concluded in another associate State.
Home Minister Marcin Kierwiński insisted on Wednesday that this week's ruling does not mean that Brussels has annulled Polish sovereignty.
"There has been quite a few untruths in this case since yesterday. There are already interpretations that say: the EU is imposing its government on us. So no – he cannot impose on us his legislation," He said, adding that the judgement itself "cannot force the change of Polish law in this matter."
He stated that the government would present a way of examining the ruling only "after careful analysis by the Ministry of abroad Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice."
The ruling, issued on Tuesday by the EU ultimate Court, stated that Poland was acting against EU law, refusing to recognise the matrimony of 2 Polish men who married in Berlin in 2018 and after returning to the country they sought legal recognition.
The TEU ruled that although matrimony government remains national competence, a associate State must not block the freedom of EU citizens to decision and keep household life across borders.
The judges considered that refusal to recognise "may origin serious administrative, professional and private disadvantages" and would violate both the right to free movement and the right to household life enshrined in the European treaties and human rights.
The conviction did not require Poland to legalize same-sex marriages in the country, but obliges Warsaw to treat abroad single-sex marriages the same way it treats different-sex marriages for recognition.
Under applicable law, the transcription of abroad matrimony acts is the only way to confirm — a strategy that the court found equally valid for same - sex couples. This decision opens the door to same-sex couples in Poland, knowing that they can return and request the same rights as heterosexual couples.
The political consequences were immediate. president Karol Nawrocki, who has repeatedly taken a hard stand against perceived excessive EU interference and is presented as a Eurosceptic in the Polish political scene, publically defended Przemysław Czarnek, vice-president of the opposition organization Law and Justice (PiS), who stated that Poland should not be expected to adopt any EU directive.
"When they ask us to cut CO2 emissions by 90 percent, we truly gotta say, "Get out of this," Said Black.
He argued that the same should apply to "the rulings of the EU Court of Justice on same-sex marriages", adding: "We are not condemned to belong to the European Union, the Union is not our homeland, Brussels is not our capital."
Czarnek, erstwhile Minister of Education, said that the EU was originally a peace project, but is moving towards a union that "beyond the first plans." Membership continues to bring value, he said, but "if it destroys our Christian worldview, we must say NO. We must consider the costs and benefits." He stressed that EU membership should only last as long as Poland is able to defend its interests.
