The devil lies in the procedural details: the Conditionality Regulation saga
The aim of this short article is to give an overview of the Conditionality Regulation saga, from the emergence of the idea to the potential and long overdue activation of the mechanism after the delivery of the ECJ judgment. I will point out that all the main issues of this years-long struggle concerned primarily procedural questions, while discussions about the actual rule of law infringements taking place in Hungary and Poland took a backseat.
