(ANSA-AP) - WARSAW - Poland's foreign minister says he is disturbed by comments by various European Union commissioners concerning the changes taking place in Poland under the new government.
Witold Waszczykowski said Monday the comments were made without proper knowledge of the situation.
He was reacting in particular to EU Commissioner Guenther Oettinger's call for Poland to be put under a monitoring mechanism, due to recent changes in the media law that give the government control of state broadcasters. Next week, the European Commission is to discuss the rule of law in Poland.
Waszczykowski said: "I want to say that I am disturbed by the comments of this or that EU commissioner who expresses his concern without properly knowing the situation or the documents.
This is not the way to do politics." (ANSA-AP).
