The EPP has a long tradition of shielding its own against EU scrutiny on the rule of law. It long protected Orbán when Fidesz was still member of the EPP, and now it is blocking rule of law fact finding missions to Meloni‘s Italy, who has become an important EPP ally.
According to EPP's press release, they are "concerned about signs of rule of law backsliding in a number of Member States"
But the 4 countries they list all happen to be governed by parties not in EPP or ECR 🤔
Spain is clearly their focus. Could it be related to Sanchez's vocal criticism of Trump?
