A very good overview of the decision of the Commission to act against Poland on the basis of Articles 2 and 10 TEU. Would the Court make similar reasoning as with the interconnection between Article 2 and 19(1) TEU or would this be too far? One obvious problem is the definition of 'democratic accountability'. A very good read

A very informative article, which in a way sheds light on the elephant in the room: the growing tension between Art. 2 TEU & Art. 4(2) TEU. While Art. 2 TEU mentions, albeit without clear definitions, the EU values, the national identities, i.e. pluralism, are not elaborated in any way similar to Art.2. You can't have an omelette (Art. 2) without breaking the eggs (Art. 4(2)) unless it is clearly defined what pluralism includes/excludes
