    I mean considering the murmurings towards federalization and in a world where Brexit happened I don’t exactly see the issue with the EU openly boosting the not Anti-EU parties against the alternatives.

    Especially when trusting the average european country to not actively endeavor to sit on its own nuts with gusto got the world a sweep of morons who forgot that the world wars are things that happened and earned what they’re preaching a rightful place in the “dumb fuck ideas for morons with faces in dire needs of being punched” category.

      It’s not about boosting anti-EU parties, I’m saying neither PiS nor KO led government did what’s necessary to unlock the funds. KO didn’t change any laws that are the issue, because it would be vetoed by the president. All that was done was essentially executive orders by minister of justice and various legal tricks that could be undone immediately if KO lost power. Things working on a whim of a single person without any checks and balances is not exactly rule of law.

      EU critics accused commission of withholding those funds based on sympathies alone and now they have very reasonable proof for just that. It’s not good long term, especially for deeper integration.

        That still sounds like they’re trying to invent “AHAH! YOU AS AN INSTITUTION OPENLY FAVOR THE GROUP THAT IS NOT HOSTILE TO YOU!” as a controversy.

        The Eurosceptics have literally no ground to stand on, only the cardboard they keep slapping down between them and going underwater with admitting they just hate the brown people and the gay people, and the EU makes them big mad by not dedicating enough resources to making them feel valid for that.
