EU court slashes daily fine against Poland to €500K in rule-of-law dispute

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 16:24:23 GMT

The EU’s top court has halved a daily fine it imposed against Poland over controversial judicial reforms in 2021, which the Polish government appealed.The fine has been reduced from €1 million per day to €500,000, the Court of Justice of the EU vice president said in a statement on Friday.In October 2021, the top court had started fining Poland €1 million per day for ignoring a ruling ordering it to suspend its judicial reforms and restore the independence of judges.The Polish authorities had asked the court to suspend the fine last November, arguing it had implemented reforms to comply with the previous ruling.In the Friday statement, the court’s Vice President Lars Bay Larsen said the “measures adopted by Poland are not sufficient to ensure the execution of all the provisional measures” the court had requested.Although Bay Larsen recognized that Poland did implement some changes, others — like a Polish Supreme Court decision allowing for...

‘What?!’ Orbán throws cold water on Ukraine’s NATO hopes

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 16:24:23 GMT

Hungary’s troubled relationship with neighboring Ukraine spiraled again Friday as Prime Minister Viktor Orbán dismissed the country’s NATO dreams with a one-word tweet. “What?!” the prime minister exclaimed in a Twitter post responding to a POLITICO article on NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg’s declaration in Kyiv on Thursday that “Ukraine’s rightful place is in NATO.”Relations between Budapest and Kyiv are tense. Hungary spent years blocking high-level NATO sessions with Ukrainian officials, ostensibly over concerns about the rights of Hungarian speakers in western Ukraine. And despite condemning Russia’s full-scale invasion, Hungary has refused to send weapons to aid its neighbor. Senior Hungarian officials, meanwhile, continue to regularly visit Moscow and maintain close ties to the Kremlin. At the same time, Hungary joining Turkey in blocking Sweden’s NATO bid has frustrated Western capitals. NATO allies — including Hungary — decided back in 2008 that...
