Chancellor Angela Merkel
Berlin - Emirates Voice
Chancellor Angela Merkel on Tuesday said Germany could "not stay silent" on EU fears about the rule of law in neighbouring Poland, calling it a "serious issue".
Poland on Monday rejected EU concerns that the rightwing government's controversial court reforms, which have sparked street protests, will erode judicial independence in the former communist state.
Merkel said: "as much as I want good relations with Poland, our neighbour ... we cannot stay silent and say nothing just to keep the peace" while stressing that the rule of law was "the basis for cooperation within the EU".

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
