The tussle is just one example of the EU attempting to stifle growingeuroscepticismby any means necessary.

The latest attack from Brussels came as the blocs leaders said Polands proposed new retirement law which from October 1 will allow women to retire and 60 and men at 65.

The EU said statutory retirement ages for men and women is gender discrimination.

Speaking earlier to the BBC, the foreign minister said the EUs action were a smokescreen to cover up their own failures as a political project.

This is an excuse, he said. This is only a substitute to deprive Poland of our position and to weaken our negotiating position maybe in the future budget.

Mr Waszczykowski attributed the blocs action as a cover up for the uncertainty Brussels currently faces.

He claimed the EU had turned on Poland to avoid criticism for the questions they face on security and the common market after Brexit.
