the countries which join EU receive advantages and disadvantages. one of the advantages is that poorer countries are entitled to receive more EU funds. and Poland and Hungary get. one of the disadvantages is that you cannot change the form of your state from a democracy with the division of power: executive, legislative, and judiciary. in short, EU doesn't allow dictatorship inside of it.
when a country became a dictatorship in EU the other states can vote and stop the funding to go in that country or even expel the country if it gets really bad. but there is a catch. EU gave themselves as a rule that in order to single out a state all the other states must vote unanimously against. because Hungary and Poland are allied in this they don't vote against each other, unanimously can't be reached. Hungary and Poland stay safe. also even changing this rule require a unanimous vote so is a deadlock.
Hungary is de facto a dictatorship and Poland tried to become one. according to the rules of EU they are still entitled to get a shitload of EU funds but they basically ignore to abide by any obligation to stay in the EU involves. not only that but they also use the same funds to make ferocious propaganda against EU. so EU they are pretty pissed against them.
so every time there is a votation in EU to give extra funds all the fucking time this thing of rule of law is inserted to fuck over rogue states. I'm not sure of much effective, is it.
I'm an objective person. I do agree politically with all the position of Hungary and Poland leaders minus abortion. also, Hungary and Poland found the catch 22 to keep doing what they are doing legally, but I am not a fool. one thing is the campaign to get people's consensus. and one thing is getting all power of the state in a few pairs of hands.
Why do people consider Hungary or Poland a dictatorship? Do they not elect a president or a prime minister (not sure) democratically and do they not have any balances like a senate or parliament to limit their power in case they become abusive?
In Poland, during previous parliament term, the ruling party had both houses of parliament and the president, thus the party chairman was de facto Sejm, Senate and the President. And since he can decide whether to publish constitutional tribunal rulings, he's also the Judiciary.
I do not understand the article, what it is that they opposed? I assume that they are somehow enforcing immigration as part of that budget?
