EU Warn U.S. Lawmakers Of Using COVID Bailouts To Push Leftist Politics

Merkel's faction expressed its commitment in terms of "The rule of law," which Merkel said was "The basis for the European project." Pro-EU media outlets describe Hungary and Poland as opposing the rule of law, and indeed of trying to "Crash" Europe out of objections to "Democratic standards."

"We are talking here about the violations of the rule of law that are threatening the EU budget and only that," she said.

European Union law is itself what permitted Hungary or Poland to veto the proposed European budget.

What are the violations of the "Rule of law" at stake? One is said to be the independence of the press.

The Polish Parliament passed a law to which the Polish judiciary objects.

Parliaments pass laws, like our Congress does, and judiciaries are meant to interpret laws rather than create them.

"The rule of law" as a principle seems to fall on the side of the Parliament here.
