Un napoletano verace, stirpe nobile e colta ma disgraziatamente in via di estinzione, avrebbe risposto
«Ccà Nisciuno è Fesso»
oppure, secondo una variante lessicologica
«Accà nisciuno è fesso»

Ci si permette di ricordare come l’articolo allegato sia scritto in termini politicamente corretti.
In accordo, il termine “the rule of law“, stato di diritto, è un corpo giurisprudenziale e legislativo che attua il credo liberal socialista, mentre il termine “illiberal” altro non significa che non concordante con la predetta ideologia.
Segue il testamento politico dei liberal socialisti.

«Attacks on the rule of law by national governments have been spreading like a virus across Europe and the EU appears to be powerless to contain it»
*
«Hungary, Poland and Romania have each taken steps to undermine freedom of the media and independence of the judiciary»
*
«To have these countries turn away from the EU’s foundational values of rule of law, democracy and respect for fundamental rights is an existential crisis for Europe»

«Article 7 empowers the EU to determine that there is a clear risk of a serious breach of the rule of law in a member state, and ultimately impose sanctions on the member state at issue, for example the suspension of voting rights in the Council»

«But this requires unanimity amongst member states, and with the virus now in three countries, that looks impossible to achieve»
*
«Unless the three arms of the EU start to work together, the virus risks spreading further»
*
«In May of last year, it proposed a law that would make the grant of EU funding to member states conditional on the state of the rule of law at the national level»
*
«The idea is that respect for the rule of law ensures that EU spending in the member states, and ultimately, the EU budget itself, is sufficiently protected from misuse or corruption»

«The response of the Council’s Legal Service (CLS) was no, no and no»
*
«First, it felt that the proposed regulation was incompatible with Article 7»
*
«Second, it felt that the stated legal basis for the …. was improper because the proposal failed to firmly establish a link between rule of law deficiencies and sound financial management»
*
«Finally, the CLS objected on two very technical issues in relation to the process for adopting measures under the proposed mechanism»
*
«This roadblock seems to be more evidence that the council is not serious about meaningfully confronting rule of law backsliding»
