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

Madness The Tisza government has created an asset-confiscation super-authority whose powers should never be concentrated in the hands of a single institution in a democracy governed by the rule of law.

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

#AI is already entering our courts. The judiciary must be ready to scrutinize it, safeguard rights, and uphold public trust.

A nation rises or falls on whether or not there is rule of law and if its citizens can trust the criminal justice system. America is back.

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. If it is not the people who decide who they vote for, but those in power who decide who the people are allowed to vote for, then https://t.co/tITVZEcJfy #Democracy #Elections #RuleOfLaw #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

The whole world is watching the development of a new form of hardcore “liberal authoritarianism” in Hungary. That may seem like a contradictory term but it is increasingly clear that abolishing rule of law is the endpoint of the liberal project. This will spread. 🇭🇺 #Hungary #LiberalAuthoritarianism #RuleOfLaw #HU

Questo va al potere e fa partire l'"operazione purgatorio" e la UE zitta. Il problema della rule of law c'era per Orban che non ha mai incriminato avversari politici, ha tenuto regolari elezioni e si è fatto da parte come era normale che fosse. Qui tutto bene? #politica #UnioneEuropea #ruleoflaw

If you are concerned with insane authoritarianism in Europe pay attention to what is happening in Hungary. It is Ground Zero for the experiment to install mentally ill oddities who will destroy basic rule of law. 🇭🇺 #Hungary #Authoritarianism #RuleOfLaw #HU

In Magyar’s dictatorship opposition parties no longer have databases or communications systems. A very extreme, highly authoritarian dictatorship is being established in an EU country and Brussels support it. The collapse of the rule of law will spread out from Hungary. 🇭🇺 #Hungary #Authoritarianism #RuleOfLaw #HU

As #AI transforms justice systems, judicial capacity is key to protecting human rights and the rule of law. Proud to see @UNESCO and #Tanzania’s Institute of Judicial Administration develop a national curriculum on AI & the Rule of Law, with EU support. https://t.co/G8Hu0k4Tjc https://t.co/HmW2XH3iuD #AI #HumanRights #RuleOfLaw #TZ #EU

From principles to practice: @UNESCO and #Mexico are strengthening judicial capacity for ethical #AI in the justice system. Learn more: https://t.co/RrJ089mNZf #AI #RuleOfLaw https://t.co/sV11foHvlr #AI #Justice #RuleOfLaw #MX

Hungarian previous “opposition” journalist literally documenting their country moving away from basic, Western rule of law principles and descend into some subaltern backward non-European state is really, really sad. You got your “revolution” guys. #Hungary #RuleOfLaw #Journalism #HU

What is happening in Hungary is unprecedented in Europe since the fall of communism. Freedoms in Europe have been under attack but until now the legal system has upheld the rule of law. If it can happen in Hungary it can happen elsewhere. The EU can’t function like this for long. https://t.co/0fYz1m8wwU #Hungary #RuleOfLaw #EU #HU #EU

It was deeply moving to hear this speech from a distinguished jurist who has never been a politician, yet served as the President of Hungary before being unlawfully removed from office because he refused to comply - with the approval of Berlin and Brussels, as the new Prime https://t.co/8255KJXFeU #Hungary #RuleOfLaw #PoliticalJustice #HU #DE #BE

Today, the President of Hungary released a dramatic video message announcing that the democratic rule of law in Hungary has come to an end because he was unlawfully removed from office. Nothing like this has happened in modern European history. A puppet will now be installed in https://t.co/87azw1DROb #Hungary #RuleOfLaw #Democracy #HU
