Jaroslaw Kaczynski, leader of Poland’s largest opposition party, said he could initiate talks to leave the EU as leverage to force institutional changes in Brussels, blaming the European Commission’s centralized decision-making for Europe’s weak growth versus the US. He said November’s Spanish election and next year’s French and Polish votes create a window to push power away from EU-level institutions. Polls indicate Kaczynski could return to government if he unites disparate right-wing parties, some of which have previously backed an EU exit.
