At the European #RuleofLaw Conference 2025, experts @onethuthree.bsky.social, Nicholas Aiossa, @kizdebski.bsky.social, & @jakubjaraczewski.bsky.social will address the elephant in the room: will the EU finally build an instrument to stop backsliding, or just add another paper tiger to its toolbox? ⬇️

🇵🇱🗳️⚖️ Last week has been a rollercoaster in Poland over the irregularities in vote count for the recent 2nd round of the presidential election. TL;DR my take: yes, there were irregularities, but the result of the election doesn't appear to be in doubt. 1/

A text from a White House advisor to me:

Zelenskyy is a hero. Trump and his team are cowards. Simple as that.

It is not complicated. There is one basic thing that has to be our contribution. Solidarity with Ukraine.

Bardzo polecam. Dlaczego Trump i Musk się mylą w ocenie demokracji w Ukrainie? Z jakich powodów nie można przeprowadzić wyborów w UA? O tym wszystkim dla @fundacjabatorego.bsky.social pisze Olha Ajvazovska, znana również z krytyki niektórych działań obecnych władz UA.
Dlaczego w Ukrainie nie odbyły się wybory prezydenckie, choć zakończyła się już kadencja Wołodymyra Zełenskiego? Dlaczego Donald Trump nalega, by zorganizowano tam wybory? I jaki jest stan ukraińskiej demokracji w czasie wojny?

The whole pitch about the immediate need for elections in Ukraine is mainly to then not recognize the result.

If we are going to deal with Trump on security issues, why not directly with Putin. Why do it through intermediaries?

The Polish government has made some important proposals for restoring the Rule of Law in Poland in its Action Plan.

However, substantial changes have not yet been implemented, argues KRZYSZTOF IZDEBSKI (@kizdebski.bsky.social)

Polecam się z artykułem na temat partycypacji w procesie stanowienia prawa, które ukazało się w Gubernaculum et Administratio. Udało mi sie złapać (chyba) wszystkie grzechy partycypacyjnego procesu legislacyjnego. Część jest obecnie rozwiązywanych. dlibra.bg.ajd.czest.pl:8080/dlibra/docme...

Refleksja w oderwaniu od konkretnych osób bo nie o personalia tylko "personality" mi chodzi. Otóż zakładając, że będzie wojna czy kryzysy, to zamiast typu generała na prezydenta, lepiej mieć kogoś kto myśli jak w tych okolicznościach zadbać o demokracje, a nie jak przeprowadzić bitwę.

I understand the need for realpolitik in politics, and yes, Orban is, in this context, a good connector. But...on the other hand we can't lose what's the best in the EU. It's values.
November 17, 2024 at 4:59 PM
Ok. It looks like a very constructive and peaceful place. I am not used to it as a CEE citizen and socmed user.
So..what are we supposed to do here? Can we argue a bit, or shout at each other?
