that was a great read .. so much for democracy and the right of a country to determine its own destiny blah blah blah
Von Der Leyen was making a clear reference to the European Commission’s ability to cut funding to member states it views as violating “rule of law,” a powerful tool Brussels can use to punish any democratically-elected government in Europe. Just last week, the commission proposed cutting €7.5 billion in funding to Hungary, with the country’s conservative government having long been a thorn in the side of the EU over its opposition to mass migration and support for traditional values.
von der leyen is sort of saying it is OUR WAY, OR THE HIGHWAY ..
Sort of the way that america operate ..many countries have democratically elected governments which did not suit america's best interests - so they get rid of the relevant governments and probably install brutal right wing dictators - just look at central/south america ..
anyway .. from another link
