Poland’s education minister has announced a new history syllabus that he says will frame the EU as an “unlawful entity”. Earlier this month the Strasbourg court, in a ruling, described Poland’s highest court as an unlawful tribunal. Now its minister for education, Przemyslaw Czarnek, has gone one step further as part of a radio discussion about a new history syllabus, part of a post-pandemic “New Deal” programme unveiled last weekend. It will, he said, cover “the evolution of the EU from a lawful to an unlawful entity, because today it is an unlawful entity that does not adhere to its own legal framework”. Representing Poland, Jan Sobczak said ending the judge’s NCJ term was “justified and legitimate”.
