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.
poland was previously sanctioned under article 7 for undue influence over judiciary, but is not longer so
“We consider there is no longer a clear risk of a serious breach of the rule of law in Poland,” said European Commissioner Věra Jourová.
The decision, previewed earlier this month and formalised on Wednesday morning, ends a long-running saga that dates back to December 2017 when the European Commission triggered Article 7 — known as the “nuclear option” because it can lead to the suspension of voting rights — over Poland’s systematic erosion of judicial independence.
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.
