The European Union may ultimately fall apart if some of its members pursue deeper integration faster than others, Polish President Andrzej Duda said.
Rather than contemplating the multi-speed EU supported by French President Emmanuel Macron, the bloc should be a union of “free” and equal nations, Duda told an economic forum in Krynica, Poland. While the EU is preoccupied with the U.K.’s exit, its biggest risk is if some countries integrate further and leave others behind in a “B-class,” he said.
