The author described the situation as a “Brussels–Tisza pact” and said Hungary’s new government had once again announced the return of frozen EU funds. The author said Brussels had originally withheld billions over alleged rule-of-law concerns and that the money was now said to be unlocked, but left the requirements unspecified. #EU #Hungary #RuleOfLaw #HU #EU
The author wrote that EU enlargement was moving forward, with four accession conferences involving Montenegro, Albania, Ukraine and Moldova in sight. They said the leading candidates were making progress and that their side was also delivering, adding that progress needed to go hand in hand with strategic alignment and respect for the rule of law, both of which they linked to security. https://t.co/mKMS8Dtj5L #Enlargement #Accession #RuleOfLaw #ME #AL #UA #MD
The author condemned the prison sentences of seven years for Temirlan Sultanbekov and four years for Kadyr Atambayev. They said the closed-door trials and prosecution of political opponents raised serious concerns about the rule of law, and said they had joined the Party of European Socialists and Socialist International in a call linked in the post. https://t.co/n2Ff86o09Y #Kyrgyzstan #HumanRights #RuleOfLaw #KZ #KG
Hungary has taken important steps to strengthen the rule of law and protect the Union’s financial interests. And reforms deliver results. Today, we are proposing to unlock €4.2 billion and reopen the doors of Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe to Hungarian students and researchers. https://t.co/temnQYvACK #Hungary #RuleOfLaw #ErasmusPlus #HU
First, the new Brussels-backed Hungarian government unlawfully removes Constitutional Court judges. Then look who they want to replace them with. One argued that the criminal ban on incest should be abolished. Another wants to strip the Fundamental Law of protections for https://t.co/BRbaRRzVpu #Hungary #RuleOfLaw #ConstitutionalCrisis #HU
The Hungary trick of freezing EU funds is being deployed in Germany. In Hungary they said it was due to Rule of Law violations but the AfD show that it really is just political. The EU bureaucracy is increasingly a joke and people will start to abandon it soon. 🇪🇺 #EU #RuleOfLaw #AfD #HU #DE #EU
Gideon Sa’ar arrives in Slovenia tomorrow. Our message on Slovenian national television was clear: The rule of law must come before politics and diplomacy. Assess our complaint on its legal merits. Investigate. Interrogate. And if the law requires it, detain. No one is above https://t.co/AvYI363tjY #RuleOfLaw #Slovenia #HumanRights #SI
Of course there should be consequences to the UK's announced trade ban: other states should follow, build on it, restore respect for the rule of law. May justice be contagious! And imagine if the US for once took inspiration from others instead of pressuring them into complicity. #TradeBan #RuleOfLaw #Justice #UK #US
I express my deep support and solidarity with the family of Daphne Caruana Galizia. I will propose to hold an urgent DRFMG meeting on the situation in Malta, the follow-up to the recommendations of the public inquiry and the Commission’s Rule of Law Report. @EP_Justice #JusticeForDaphne #Malta #RuleOfLaw #MT
As Chair of the @EP_Justice Committee’s Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group (DRFMG), I deeply regret that the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia remains unpunished, almost nine years after the car bombing of October 2017. #Malta #JusticeForDaphne #RuleOfLaw #Democracy #MT
Calling political purges, asset seizures and the dismantling of constitutional checks a “rule-of-law turnaround” is straight out of the radical-left Marxist playbook. The Democrats will love you. #RuleOfLaw #PoliticalPurge #Marxism #US
PM Tusk says about some of judges - my judges. That shows what is the current state of independent judiciary in Poland. #ruleoflaw #Poland #Judiciary #RuleOfLaw #PL

The EU Commission must not be fooled by veiled attempts at reform in member states. Romanian social-democrats together with the far-right unleashed a foundational attack against the rule of law and this must never be supported with RRF or any other EU funds. ➡️ #RuleOfLaw #EUCrisis #AntiCorruption #RO #EU

Justice in Romania no longer serves justice—it delivers statute of limitations on demand. 🏛️⚖️ The case of Sector 3 Mayor, Robert Negoiță, is an open lesson in how the "silent mechanism" works to wash away grand corruption right before our eyes. 🔴 The playbook in a nutshell: The damage: A massive loss of over €100 million (RON 578 million) inflicted on the local budget. The effort: 4 years of trial proceedings, 46 hearings, dozens of witnesses questioned, and final accounting audits completed. The case was just one step away from a verdict. The maneuver: The head of the Bucharest Court of Appeal chose not to extend the presiding judge's secondment. No public explanation—just an "administrative change" of the judicial panel. The outcome: Under Constitutional Court rulings, the entire trial STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN FROM SCRATCH. All 9 defendants and 47 witnesses must be re-questioned. The predictable finale: The clock keeps ticking toward the statute of limitations (deadline: 2028), ensuring the guilty walk free with public money in their pockets. We can no longer talk about judicial independence when secondments and panel swaps act like a political kill switch. Whenever a hundred-million-euro corruption case nears its end, someone simply presses "reset." Romania isn't just suffering from legal loopholes; it suffers from institutional capture, where the statute of limitations has become the ultimate getaway card for the untouchables. 🔗 Full details in the G4Media investigation: https://www.g4media.ro/exclusiv-procesul-lui-robert-negoita-cu-prejudiciu-de-100-de-milioane-de-euro-se-reia-de-la-zero-sefa-curtii-de-apel-bucuresti-liana-arsenie-a-schimbat-completul-dupa-4-ani-de-judecata-risc-m.html #JusticeInRomania #RuleOfLaw #Corruption #StatuteOfLimitations #RobertNegoita #CourtOfAppeal #Romania
Today, democracy and the rule of law are being dismantled in Hungary in the pursuit of unchecked power. This is nothing short of criminal conduct. Using retroactive, tailor-made legislation, the government has barred half of the opposition, including its strongest leaders, from https://t.co/IsVkKl64BR #Hungary #Democracy #RuleOfLaw #HU
By using retroactive legislation to prevent us from standing in future elections, the government has crossed a line no democracy should ever cross.
