It still means the "new" FCC refuses to accept EU law's primacy. With more convoluted reasoning than courts in countriesntargeted by those working on rule of law ,but nevertheless
The Egenberger decision carries an element of surprise.

MATTHIAS WENDEL & SARAH GEIGER explain how the FCC brought back the old Solange test which could potentially justify an exception to the primacy of EU law.

On 18 December 2025, the CJEU ruled that Poland’s “Constitutional Tribunal” is not an independent court and that its actions breached core principles of EU law.

WOJCIECH SADURSKI explains why this judgment matters – and what the Polish government can do next.

Some reflections on the CJEU ruling on the Danish "Ghettolaw". (C-417/23) I criticise the Court's reluctance to classify a law allowing preferential ending of tenancies for those descending from "non-Western" migrants as related to ethnic and racial origin.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

It's certainly better here than bin CDU/AfD Germany

Of course, the EU would take the UK back on the basis of negoand without cherry picking. The original post says Brexit is invalid, and the UK gets back in with all the excessive concessions it had

I am a public person and anyone can find out where I am
