WARSAW (Reuters) – Poland has summoned Belgium’s ambassador, a foreign ministry spokesman told state-run news agency PAP, after its Prime Minister, Alexander De Croo, accused Warsaw of “playing with fire” in a worsening dispute with Brussels over the rule of law.
“You are playing a dangerous game, you are playing with fire when waging war with your European colleagues for internal political reasons,” De Croo said, according to a transcript of a speech in Bruges of Wednesday.
De Croo was referring to an interview given to the Financial Times by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on the subject of the dispute.
