Polexit

The Polish withdrawal from the European Union or Polexit (also Poexit, a portmanteau of "Poland" and "exit") is the hypothetical withdrawal from the European Union (EU) by Poland. Poland is a country which joined the EU in 2004. The term Polexit is similar to Brexit, which denotes the United Kingdom leaving the EU.

History

Since 2020, international media has speculated about the topic of a Polexit amid the COVID-19 Pandemic.[1][2][3][4]

In 22 November 2020, Do Rzeczy, a Polish conservative weekly newspaper, published a front-page article called "Polexit: We have the right to talk about it".[5]

The Polish far-right Confederation Liberty and Independence party has called for a withdrawal from the European Union on several times.[6][7]
