One more thought... as
@IdJButler has shown, the EU already has the legal authority to suspend EU funds to HU or PL under Art 142(a) of Common Provisions Regulation on grounds that they lack adequate control systems (i.e. independent courts)https://www.liberties.eu/en/news/european-vaues-fund-two-proposals-mff/14471 … -
