• Episode – EU Legal sources and the Rule of Law

  There is an open clash within the European Union: on one side stand Hungary, Poland, and Slovenia; on the other, the remaining 24 member states. Budapest, Warsaw, and Ljubljana intend to veto the EU budget and the European Recovery Fund, which are designed to support the economies of member states most affected by the pandemic. The Hungarian and Polish opposition stems from the fact that these funds are tied to respect for the rule of law—a requirement the three countries consider very restrictive. All this is unfolding in an already high-tension context, not only due to the pandemic but also because of the stalled Brexit negotiations.
  
  We discuss this with:
  
  Giuliana Laschi, Professor of Political Science at the University of Bologna, specialized in the history of European integration;
  
  Bela Szomraky, former director of the national Hungarian radio news service, now professor at several universities and director of regional Hungarian radio stations;
  
  Daniel Gros, Director of the Centre for European Policy Studies in Brussels;
  
  Tomas Miglierina, RSI correspondent in Brussels. Broadcast on Rete Uno at 8:20 and repeated on Rete Due at 19:25. Also available on the Podcast and the apps RSINews and RSIPlay.
