My 2 quick takes: 1/ Awkward & unsustainable for ECtHR to simultaneously demand rapid remedial action and then repeatedly adjourn; 2/ EU has unlocked EU funding last year yet ECtHR confirms systematic rule of law issues not addressed. Who’s correct? hint: Strasbourg based institution
🇵🇱⚖️The European Court of Human Rights announced this week that it will once again adjourn, for a year, all the pending cases against Poland concerning the right to a fair trial in cases presided over by "neo-judges". A victory for the Tusk government, but how long can this situation go on? 1/

Have to agree with @alemanno.bsky.social. Reliance on omnibus legislation erodes rule of law in its law-making aspects & will have to be critically reviewed in next edition of the @ceudeminst.bsky.social rule of law clinic report on the EU

While the @consilium.europa.eu’s deriliction of duties continues, Orban has further strengthened his control of country’s media ecosystem ahead of next elections.
