I didn't know being a member of the European Union was an open buffet where you can just decide to skip fundamental principles that binds the countries together on a common set of rules and beliefs.
Edit: yeah I read the article sorry, I understood that Poland quit the article that imposes adhering to the rule of law.
if you only read the article
poland was previously sanctioned under article 7 for undue influence over judiciary, but is not longer so
I mean, the headline is absolute shit, but its in the summary, you don't even have to read more than 3 lines
The article discusses this.
This is the result of the PiS, Law & Justice Party, the previous right wing dickbags that constantly undermined rule of law who was voted out (pretty resoundingly, as I understand it) in 2023.
Tusk, the current PM of Poland, has made promises and provided an action plan to bring Poland back into compliance with Article 7, some of which are currently under way.
The EC has acknowledged this change of circumstances and subsequently ratcheted down its own response, releasing some of the previously withheld funds, for which it was necessary for Poland to be released from Article 7 in the meantime.
Thank you for the explanation!
