Abstract

Euroscepticism is one of the main issues surrounding European politics recently, manifested in peripherical countries of the European Union, like Poland and Hungary, as well as in core countries like Germany and the United Kingdom (the last not part of the European Union anymore). Understanding Poland’s euroscepticism, since this is one of the most conflicted countries with the current European project, may help in a wider diagnosis of the phenomenon. Therefore, the article intends to comprehend the origins and the claims of the Law and Justice Party (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, PiS) – Nowadays the most important representative of euroscepticism in Poland – analyzing the relations of this party with the European Union, and in what way the strengthening of this thought represents a threat to the future of the block. The methodology used will be a case study, using official documents, books, scientific articles and online newspapers to support the hypothesis that the polish euroscepticism, even with its peculiarities, allow us to weave interpretations about the future of the European Union.
