Is Germany using EU resources to interfere with Polish elections?

 Niezalezna(.)pl:

We will build a firewall for Law and Justice (PiS). We are the only force that can replace PiS in Poland, leading the country back to Europe - those are not words spoken by Polish politician. 

This is an exact quote from Manfred Weber, a CSU politician and leader of the European People's Party (EPP) published in German newspaper, "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung."

MEP Zbigniew Kuźmiuk says:

"This is not even an announcement, but a direct admission of interference in the Polish elections.

 The EPP has been pursuing such a policy since 2015, using Civic Platform (PO) and Polish People's Fraction (PSL), when Law and Justice (PiS) won the elections. They show that as long as PiS is in power, there will be no EU money. Now they are doing it openly, because the election is coming. They will do everything to bring Tusk and PO back to power."

According to the politician, from the German point of view, this is beneficial in every way. - This means, for example, resignation from seeking World War II reparations. If Poland is broken, everything will go smoothly from the point of view of the Germans, - he argues.
