The Poles don't even try to deny that they owe the change of government to the cancellation of the Article 7 procedure and the release of EU funds.

Poland will receive a reward for the change of government, writes Do Rzeczy, quoting Ursula von der Leyen's announcement that Brussels is ready to close the Article 7 procedure launched against Poland in 2017. The President of the European Commission believes that the decision is due to the hard work and determined efforts of Donald Tusk's government.

Unlike Poland, there is currently no change of government in Hungary that would lead to a correction of direction

- the paper writes about the obvious intent to blackmail.

Meanwhile, the Die Tageszeitung states that in the future the European Commission "wants to focus primarily on Hungary" , as only it is being prosecuted under Article 7.

Balázs Orbán, the prime minister's political director, also spoke on the matter: "Yesterday was the maths exam, let's show you Brussels' secret formula:

left-wing government + 2.5 pages of public data = abolition of the rule of law procedure”.
