WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland's ruling coalition appeared to be descending into open conflict on Sunday, the eve of a make-or-break week for the European Union's (E.U.) 1.8 trillion euro ($2.2 trillion) 2021-2027 budget and coronavirus recovery fund.
Poland and Hungary, both under investigation by the E.U. over their push to curb judicial and media freedoms, are blocking the financial package over a clause linking access to the cash to respect for the rule of law.
Matters are set to come to a head this week, with the deadline for agreeing the 2021 budget due on Monday, and an E.U. summit taking place three days later.
Divisions in Warsaw's ruling coalition over its veto of the package have blown into the open in recent days.
On Sunday, Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Gowin, leader of Accord, a centrist junior partner in the ruling United Right coalition, said his party supported all efforts to find a good compromise.
Gowin's position was in stark contrast to the uncompromising stance of the other junior coalition partner, the arch-conservative United Poland, led by Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro.
Ziobro has warned of the dangers of being soft in negotiations with the E.U., saying that anything other than a veto would result in a loss of confidence in Morawiecki, a member of Law and Justice (PiS), the largest party in the ruling coalition.
