The Legal Affairs committee (JURI) of the European Parliament has just voted to sue the European Commission for unfreezing billions of euros in funding for Hungary late last year. They say it’s high time to protect European taxpayers’ money from misuse. Meanwhile, Warsaw and the European Commission have unveiled an action plan that involves legal reforms in Poland and ending the EU’s infringement procedures against the country, which date back to the previous conservative government. We discuss these issues with two MEPs.
