"The rule of law framework should be applied to Poland and it should have already been used in Hungary.

At heart, these new right-wing parties are not the robust pro-people forces they claim to be. They are afraid of the people and skew the system to make sure their positions become immune to democratic challenge. In short, they look much like the old authoritarian right..... Europe cannot look the other way when authoritarian rule is raising its head in a member state."
