Last week, the European Commission activated the conditionality mechanism in the EU budget only towards Hungary. Why not against Poland? – The magazine asks and concludes that there are two main reasons.

The Hungarian case is even clearer, with Prime Minister Viktor Orban using EU funds to create a network of patrons to bolster his power. More complicated is establishing a relationship between the group’s budget and the deterioration of the rule of law in Poland.

This is not the time for a direct confrontation with Warsaw. Now it is about using Poland’s role to strengthen from the outside those groups in the PiS that are striving to return the country to the heart of the European Union – concludes “El Confidencial”.
