In today’s #EuropeanIdeasLab panel on #RuleOfLaw in Poland I spoke about how @EU_Commission &MS have looked away so long that backsliding has cemented. All fundamentals are dismantled: independent judiciary, media freedom, civic space, rights of women, LGBTIQs, refugees etc 1/2

But civil society & legal experts are fighting back! Instead of the Polish government’s sham reforms, they have draft laws ready that can actually rectify the wrongs and & restore #RuleofLaw. The EU should listen to & support them as allies in upholding EU values 2/2.
