    EFA MEPs: Elections review ignores 'flagrant democratic violations'

    MEPs have debated and adopted a report taking stock of the 2019 European elections.

    European Council Summit & Rule of Law

    It's shameful that Hungary and Poland are attempting to derail the entire Recovery Plan and MFF because their governments no longer stand for the values on which this Union is built. There is no European Union without European values, which include democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights.

    Impact of Covid-19 measures on democracy, fundamental rights & rule of law

    The Covid crisis must not be used as an excuse by governments to encroach on peoples' rights and the rule of law. The true test of a democracy is how well it fares in a crisis and this year has shown that some EU governments are all too quick to undermine the rule of law and European values.

    EU4Health

    The cuts in EU4Health called for by the Council were irresponsible, especially in times of pandemic. It is a success that the European Parliament has tripled the amount envisaged by the Council in the budget negotiations.
