The rule of law is one of the fundamental values of the European Union. The proliferation of “illiberal” governments has multiplied the violations of this value and the limitations of the EU's right to protect it have been revealed. For this reason, an additional procedure has been created to safeguard the rule of law value, which uses the mechanism of financial conditionality, through Regulation 2020/2092. Poland and Hungary have attacked this Regulation with their respective appeals for annulment and the CJEU has confirmed its compatibility with primary law, clearing the way for its application by the Commission and the Council.
