Кризис конституционализма и кризис демократии в государствах-членах Европейского Союза и возможные механизмы их преодоления (Crisis of Constitutionalism and Crisis of Democracy in the Member States of the European Union and Possible Mechanisms for Solution)

Over the past decade, an increasingly heated debate has developed within the European Union on the issue of values, the rule of law and the quality of democracy. The article focuses on the violation of the rule of law in Poland and Hungary and on the political and judicial reactions of the European institutions. This will done by emphasizing that the European Union faces two interrelated problems: the need to act in order to limit, if not solve, a problem that undermines its credibility as a community of values, and the caution in interfering in the internal constitutional issues of the Member States.
