Abstract (may include machine translation)

The demise of Poland and Hungary as constitutional democracies clearly illustrate that the EU is unable to guarantee the preservation of democracy and the rule of law. Beyond looking at the response provided by EU institutions to the amplification of the rule of law backsliding in Hungary and Poland, this chapter provides an overview of how the EU is maturing as a constitutional system as a result of the challenge. The lesson of the crisis is thus a positive one: the EU is discovering the substance of the core principles guiding its own legal system and the CJEU provides a guiding light in this process.
