BUDAPEST—Poland has no desire to leave the European Union, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Tuesday, accusing opposition politicians of spreading what he said were lies about a possible “Polexit.”

His comments came after the Polish Constitutional Tribunal ruled last week that parts of EU law were incompatible with the country’s constitution, undermining a key tenet of European integration and fuelling talk that Poland could one day quit a Union that has helped drive its economic development.
