Just a few hours ago there was a news that they will "extend their list of (five) promises" in a way that will "give them access to an unexpected electorate", and now it's there. Thanks, but no thanks. It's easy to see where your opponent fails (some PO deputies voted for the directive) and just say "we'll do the opposite". I'm afraid it has no substance whatsoever, other than trying to capitalize on anti-EU emotions and to get young people to vote for them, as there's the least support for PiS in that demographic group.
> A "directive" is a legislative act that sets out a goal that all EU countries must achieve. However, it is up to the individual countries to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals.
But as far as I know there is no time limit on this, although there will be political pressure from other member states but they have their own issues, and it can turn out into you blame me I blame you kind of match. So I guess real answer is - it depends.
Considering that votes on the issue were very controversial (no clear majority) I am suspecting it will be Brexit #2 in terms of execution, everyone will fiddle about for 2 years then pass some laws as incomprehensible and non-enforceable as the directive itself and that will be the end of it.
