Juncker: Poland unlikely to leave EU

Poland is unlikely to leave the European Union, even if the ruling eurosceptic Law and Justice (PiS) party wins re-election this year, EU executive head Jean-Claude Juncker said in an interview with Rzeczpospolitaon.

Speaking about whether there will be a "Polexit" after parliamentary elections in Poland in the autumn, Juncker said: "No."

"Poland is with us (the European Union) because we have common values," Reuters cited him a saying.

His statement came as Poland's biggest opposition front has repeatedly warned that Law and Justice could eventually lead the country out of the EU.
