Polish President shows solidarity with the EU

Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski on Wednesday embarked on a foreign tour, with Brussels as his first destination. The head of state wants to show in this way how important the EU is for Poland, writes the liberal daily Gazeta Wyborcza: "This is his symbolic way of expressing the strong ties his people and his country feel towards the EU. There is nothing that has to be negotiated with the EU Commission, the European Parliament or the European Council. ... He is travelling to Brussels among other things because the voters expect this gesture. A few days ago the European Commission published its latest Eurobarometer - a survey that is regularly carried out all over the EU among more than ten thousand persons. It says in black and white that the Poles remain among the most passionate EU enthusiasts. 62 percent of Poles (that's 13 percent points more than the EU average) feel that EU membership is 'a good thing' for their country."
